I Will Love You -Psalms 18:1-3

Before I get into today's post, I wanted to mention that this blog is not only about having a daily promise, but is a site that can be accessed when you are just going through some rough times.

Today wasn't the best of days for me. I was pretty depressed with how it all played out. But I ended up coming back to my blog, and as I clicked on the label "Rest in God", I found some encouraging scriptures to hold onto.

Why did I tell you that? I think just to explain better how the blog can be used....Stay encouraged!
