Merry Christmas

He ALWAYS Supplies My Needs!

I faced the frustration of another car not working again... Why does this happen? One car after another just kept falling through, nothing was working out and it's getting colder and colder up here. As I cried out to the Lord, all I could hear was "trust me, I have a plan." I was trying but my faith is so weak. He showed me that even through all the "no" answers that I received, He kept saying "I have something better, wait and be patient." Words are really indescribable as to how the Lord provided it. WOW, I couldn't have even dreamed that He would really provide this for me. His peace is incredible and His Joy is immeasurable when we take our eyes of the circumstances of life that doesn't seem to be working out and focus on the ONE who is working! I'm so blessed to be able to trust and rely on my God who has and will supply my needs! 

I'm overwhelmed by the goodness of God! He's showed me that He gives good gifts to his children and not just to random people He chooses to bless, but seeing Him provide for me in my life was incredible....He has strengthened my faith and trust in Him in so many ways. After looking for a car for almost a year and so many good cars that seemed perfect kept getting direct "no'" answers. I knew He would provide but "when" was the question I kept asking myself. I was so amazed at his guiding hand as He worked everything out for this one! It seriously is everything I dreamed of and more! (Like heated seats and a sun roof!) :) Ahhh guys, I'm so undeserving of the unconditional love and goodness of my Savior as He leads me to Greener pastures, not only with the blessing of this car but He totally deepened my trust and reliance on His leading. He always know what is best, even when we can't see what's on the other side He knows what lies ahead. Thank you Jesus!!!

My sister and best friend forever!

We had so much fun this weekend: Shooting skeet, four-wheelers, zip-line, cooking, baking, pictures, friends, memories and more memories!

My amazing Dad and sister!!

It was great to spend time with my family over thanksgiving!

God is Moving Right Now!

The Father has a plan. Though it's hard to see it now
You feel you're walking all alone.
But He is there no doubt
When the storm around you rages,
And you're tossed to and fro
When you're f aced with life's decisions,
Not sure which way to go

Stand still and let God move,
Standing still is hard to do
When you f eel you have reached the end,
He'll make a way for you
Stand still and let God move

When the enemy surrounds you, And the walls
are closing in
When the tide is swiftly rising, And you wonder
where He's been
Friend, there never was a moment, That His arms
weren't reaching out
You can rest assured and be secure, God is moving
right now

Stand still and let God move,
Standing still is hard to do
When you f eel you have reached the end,
He'll make a way for you
Stand still and let God move

 
When you feel you have reached the end, He'll make a way for you
Stand still and let God move
The answer will come, But only in His time

Stand still and let God move, Stand still and let God move

I Can't Imagine Life Without Them!

"Best friends make the good times better and the hard times easier!"

My best friends make me laugh louder, smile brighter, and live better!

Love you guys!

I Am Determined!

I was reading I Corinthians 2 this morning and was really encouraged by the whole chapter but especially this verse! May our ONE desire be; to know Christ, and to make Him known! We cannot even know the things that God has prepared for us that love Him but we must focus on Him alone. He will reveal to us His perfect plans in His time.

Family Camp!!!

It was so amazing to be able to go down to TX for the ALERT family camp!!! I was able to hang out with my amazing brothers all weekend!!! I miss them so much and it was great to talk and catch up with them! We went canoeing and practically just chilled. The Weiss family let me stay with them till the rest my family came down on Monday. We had a blast and I can't think them enough for their hospitality!

Seth and Nathaniel were both in the play! Everyone did a great job!!!

 We went rappelling and all sorts of other crazy things!

Fun times down at the lake! Tug-a-war, canoe races, and sand castles!

What Does The Lord Delight In?

I was really encouraged by these verses that the Lord gave me earlier and I hope you will be too!  

"I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels." Is. 61:10
"Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diaden in the hand of they God. Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall they land any more be termed Desolate: . . .for the Lord delighteth in thee. . .and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee. . .And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken." Is. 62:3-5, 12
