    Sweet quote. Funny story - yesterday a girl at church was telling me about reading her horoscope (that girl was not me, I promise), and it was something like find your happiness now because if you go looking for it, you'll never find it. Now hopefully one can see that this is basically saying "look for your happiness, because if you look for it, you'll never find it," but, I like how when we tweak things a little and put them in God's hands, He always works it out. We can "find our happiness now" by being obedient, because it is true, if we just go out looking for joy, the odds that we'll find it are not guaranteed. But the odds that we'll have it through obedience and deep relationship with God are guaranteed.

    O happy day, happy day, You washed my sins away!
