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.

I have to say that there hasn't been a time in my life where I feel God has not met me where I am at. I've been through a lot of hard times, I've struggled with a few different things over the years. Yet, no matter what it was, how badly I was feeling, or if I was right or wrong, God has always met me on my own level.
Right now I feel treasured by my lord who has brought himself down to a level where I can understand him. Where he lifts my chin, wipes off the tears, looks into my eyes, and says "Hillary I understand what your feeling, I see what your dealing with, and I am going to help you. If you follow my lead, your going to get through this." There is nothing more encouraging to me than the assurance and steadfast love that God provides us.
Ladies, we are not alone in our weak moments. We have a God who is present with us. We have a God who sees us, AND who hears us. When we take the time to confide in God, he builds us up.

Don't forget to confide in him.
He waits eagerly for you.

Genesis 16:13
She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.”
Deuteronomy 4:23-24
Be careful not to forget the covenant of the Lord your God that he made with you; do not make for yourselves an idol in the form of anything the Lord your God has forbidden. For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

I want to here your story!
November
There is something special about November, the way the fall trees turn bear and wake up clothed in white snow. That first morning when the seem to be dying foliage is dressed in splendorous white covering everything as far as your eye can see. That is a special joyous moment for me. This year that moment is even more special because of where I am this morning. Here in Michigan with my best friend. I am so grateful that I have had the opportunity to come up here and spend time with her face to face. That is a rare opportunity these days and I am cherishing every moment of it. These are the times made of memories. The times that will always be remembered as special.
I am at a great time in my life. Once things change, they will change for good, and I don't want to ever forget what it was like to be at this stage in life. It's a precious time that adults always refer back to, "when I was young...". I want to have something good to say, and I know now that I do.
When I was young I didn't take my friendships for granted.
When I was young I took hold of the unique opportunities, and I never regretted it.
What special time are you in right now? I encourage you to make the most of it.
Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction;
pay attention and gain understanding.
I give you sound learning,
so do not forsake my teaching.
For I too was a son to my father,
still tender, and cherished by my mother.
Then he taught me, and he said to me,
“Take hold of my words with all your heart;
keep my commands, and you will live.
Get wisdom, get understanding;
do not forget my words or turn away from them.
Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you;
love her, and she will watch over you.
The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom.
Though it cost all you have, get understanding.
Cherish her, and she will exalt you;
embrace her, and she will honor you.
She will give you a garland to grace your head
and present you with a glorious crown.”
Listen, my son, accept what I say,
and the years of your life will be many.
I instruct you in the way of wisdom
and lead you along straight paths.
When you walk, your steps will not be hampered;
when you run, you will not stumble.
Hold on to instruction, do not let it go;
guard it well, for it is your life.
Do not set foot on the path of the wicked
or walk in the way of evildoers.
Avoid it, do not travel on it;
turn from it and go on your way.
For they cannot rest until they do evil;
they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.
They eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.
The path of the righteous is like the morning sun,
shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness;
they do not know what makes them stumble.
My son, pay attention to what I say;
turn your ear to my words.
Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;
for they are life to those who find them
and health to one’s whole body.
Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.
Keep your mouth free of perversity;
keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
Let your eyes look straight ahead;
fix your gaze directly before you.
Give careful thought to the paths for your feet
and be steadfast in all your ways.
Do not turn to the right or the left;
keep your foot from evil.
