“I think she is growing up, and so begins to dream dreams, and have hopes and fears and fidgets, without knowing why or being able to explain them.” ― Little Women

a few of my favorite quotes

"Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one’s life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one’s side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music; perhaps . . . perhaps . . . love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath."
— L.M Montgomery

" I want to marry a man prepared to swim against the tide"
- Elizabeth Elliot

"Hands are the thermometer of the heart.
And a heart that burns for it’s First Love — it flows like mercury to the hands that then reach out to warm a numbed world." Ann Voskamp

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
- Dr. Seuss

"I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens, but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a strings. –l.M Montgomery

"The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of Christian, but the fact that I am a Christian does make me a different kind of woman.- Elizabeth Elliot

"Maturity starts with the willingness to give oneself." –Elizabeth Elliot

I acknowledge that He is control of everything in my life, and that He will work it all for my good and His glory. Therefore, I walk through the week trusting Him and obeying Him and rejoicing in Him, letting my mind dwell on things above.
This is walking by faith. This is the Christian life. Each week we get to begin again, laying a new foundation of worship. This is the day that the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it! ~ Nancy Wilson

"So many people are shut tight inside themselves like boxes, yet they would open up, unfolding quite wonderfully...if only you were interested in them."
- Sylvia Plath

"Stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest;

Home-keeping hearts are happiest,
For those that wander they know not where
Are full of trouble and full of care;
To stay at home is best.

Weary and homesick and distressed,
They wander east, they wander west,
And are baffled and beaten and blown about
By the winds of the wilderness of doubt;
To stay at home is best.

Then stay at home, my heart, and rest;
The bird is safest in its nest;
O’er all that flutter their wings and fly
A hawk is hovering in the sky;
To stay at home is best."- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“When we lay the soil of our hard lives open to the rain of grace and let joy penetrate our cracked and dry places, let joy soak into our broken skin and deep crevices, life grows. How can this not be the best thing for the world? For us?” –Ann Voskamp


"Do I like jello?"
"Nice coat. Merry Christmas to you too. You're beautiful. Will you marry me? I love you!" -While You Were Sleeping

"Thank yer, ladies and gentlemen. Thank yer" -You've Got Mail

“You can't help respecting anybody who can spell TUESDAY, even if he doesn't spell it right; but spelling isn't everything. There are days when spelling Tuesday simply doesn't count.” - Winnie the Pooh

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

“I want to see beauty. In the ugly, in the sink, in the suffering, in the daily, in all the days before I die, the moments before I sleep.” –Ann Voskamp

The simple lack of her is more to me than others’ presence. -Edward Thomas

...for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. Philippians 4:11

"Clogged with wishes. I was wishing that my wishes were what God wished, and that if my wishes were not what God wished, I wished that I could wish that my wishes would go away, but the wishes were still there." -Elizabeth Elliot

There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind. -C.S Lewis

"Quite frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" -Gone With the Wind

"That's Re-dikorus." -Tigger
