Blessings That Continue On!

Kinleigh left Monday so we. . .Grace, Kinleigh, and I all went to Chicago on Saturday! It was such a blessing to spend the day with them, keep serving the Lord wherever He has you!

Kinleigh, I'm praying for you and I know that you will continue to be a blessing wherever God places you!

My family (well those of them that are left at home. . .Hannah is at a Music workshop in Indy and Seth is down at ALERT basic training) went out to Virginia to visit my older sister and her family, here are a few pics from the trip! It sounded like they had a great time out there! Awe, they are so cute and getting so big!

Exciting Adventures!

So many things have happened since I last updated! It's hard to know where to start. 

4th of July

We celebrated Independence day, yes, I know that was ages ago, but when your going from one thing to the next time flies! We had a great time, I was able to take a lot of pictures since my leg was out of use. . .  due to playing an exciting game of soccer the week before, and it is still healing slowly but surely (basically no sports for 3 months). :) Yes, kind of a bummer but the Lord has already used it for good!



So yes, All of that so say we had a great time~!

July Journey

I was blessed to be able to assist Katie Mellas on the July Journey! After the June journey I gave the desire to lead a Journey/disciple young ladies to the Lord. He gave me a real peace about the whole situation. Because as much as I wanted to do it, if that was not his perfect will, it meant that He had something better, and if he had something better that is all I wanted! So, next thing I know the dream that I gave up the Lord was given back to me! I was totally shocked, I felt so unqualified, which I was: but the Lord over and over again gave me wisdom. Many times I would be talking with the girls and sometimes totally at a loss of words and the Lord in His faithfulness continually came through!!! He is so good to use our weaknesses for His glory!
We had an awesome team!
I love them so much!

It was amazing just to watch God work in each of our lives and draw us closer to Himself!

July 20th!!!

I also had my 20th birthday while we were in the Northwoods!!! Everyone made it so special, what a blessing! I'm excited to see what the Lord is going to do with this next year of life;  He has given me more time to serve Him and may it bring glory to His name!

Mackinaw Trip

Abby, Bri, Molly and I went to Mackinaw Island for the weekend and just basically relaxed! We had so much fun and made some great memories, yes, great memories indeed! :)
It was so beautiful!

We biked around the entire Island, it was so much fun!

So many awesome memories! Just enjoying the peacefulness!

It was great to be able to spend time with Molly, Abby, and Bri! Thank y'all so much for your encouragement! 

Indy Conference

I had the privilege of going to the last and final regional ATI conference in Indy. I worked in the AV dept...It was a great week! I was running camera two, which great, especially when you are trying to follow the speaker and stay awake! :) Great times!


Time With Family

We spent the weekend with my grandparents! We had a great time, it was awesome to see everyone again!
Many funny faces, the sun was shinning so bright off of the white cars!

I miss y'all so much! :)

I can't be more blessed, God has given me such an awesome godly family! He's so good, to give us exactly what we need~!

This past week, I made beef jerky, dried strawberries and apples, and made a brown skirt. I'll try to post more on that later, maybe. . .anyways yes, keeping busy. We just had our last guys Journey this past week; excited to see what the Lord is going to do through their lives and I can't believe August is half over! So yes, use your time wisely and have a fantastic day!
Hope y'all are doing well and look forward to hearing from you!
