The End of An Era

Hey everyone!

I wanted to take this time to let you know that today I have decided that it is the end of my postings on this blog. It has been good for me to start this journey with you here, but it is time for me to move on and put my full efforts toward www.thequietplaceblog.org. I encourage you to follow me and the other faithful women who so generously share their hearts over at the quiet place. It is a ministry that I started with my best friend Britney a little over a year ago and I am very excited to share with you that God is taking us places with The Quiet Place. As for now, I will continue to leave this blog up for you to peruse.

Thank you for being such great readers!

All my love,

Hillary.

In Retrospect

Today I spent a little bit of time browsing through some of the posts that I've written in the past. Looking back, I can't believe the amazing things that God has done. How he moved my heart and changed it. How he used my struggles and my strengths to touch your hearts. Its unfathomable to me how a God so great would call me His own. Unfathomable that he would love on me, and use the very last threads of his patience to wait for me to be receptive to him. Yet, as unfathomable as it seems to me, God does. He has an everlasting love, a love that embraces hearts, and a kindness that calls our hearts to him. Tonight don't forget that you have a God who LOVES you, who went to the depths for you, who while you were yet a sinner, died for you! Because he loves you. Because he WANTED to give you the opportunity to share in His love, and in every blessing he ever created. YES! We have a God like that.

It's Our Birthday Linkup: After One Year...

After One Year of ministry with The Quiet Place there are so many stories to tell. Being apart of what God has done through this blog he put into my heart to create has been amazing. Writing here has allowed me to express my love for my sisters in Christ and all women. It has been a blessing to be able to share my heart and my life with you here. An honor that you have been able to learn with me and grow. It has been an unexpected journey in friendship and business, one from which Britney and I have both grown. Above all I can't even begin to tell you of the numerous things that God has done in my heart as both a writer here and a reader. I am thankful for all of those who have contributed time, effort, money, words, and skill to The Quiet Place. Who were willing to write a guest post when they received an unexpected note from me. We honestly couldn't have done it without you. I have learned a lot this year from our guest posters and I am very thankful for that. God has touched my heart through all of you and I know that he is doing glorious things with the words you have bravely shared with us.  I pray that all of you, contributors and readers alike, no matter where you find yourself, know that God is with you there. That he always love you, and is always waiting for you with open arms. His love is vast beyond measure, his grace abounds, his mercy is unending, and his forgiveness never empty.  This is the great God we serve. And HE loves YOU!   Here's to One Year Best Friend!

MY Love IS Deeper

Let Jesus sing this to your heart today...

My love is deeper than the holler.
Stronger than the river.Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill.My love is purer than the snowflakes,That fall in late December.And honest as a Robin on a springtime window sill.And longer than the song of a whippoorwill.
