An Update That is Long Over Due

So much has happened in the last month, and my computer almost crashed so I didn't have it for awhile, but now I am pretty much back in the swing of things. Keeping busy as usual!
On April 6th, Abby and I went home to surprise Hannah for her 15th birthday. It was so much fun, we had a great time. . .she didn't know we were coming in, then she arrived at her surprise birthday party. . .
and a few minutes later. . . we show up! It was so awesome!
P.s. Hannah thanks for being such an awesome sister. You are such a blessing and inspiration to me of what a godly woman looks like!!! Keep living life for Him, it's is totally worth it!!!
While we were at home, Dad, Nathaniel, Hannah, and I were able to sing "Thou art worthy, O Lord" at church! It was such a blessing. . .something I've wanted to do for a long time! :)

Pal finished Basic Training Leadership, for unit 49 at ALERT. 
Nathaniel, I can't believe that God blessed me with such an awesome brother as you!
His nickname down at RATI was Brother Johnson then it changed into BJ. Haha! 
It's great to have a Pal like you!

It was a blessing to spend the last week (well I guess it's been two weeks now) with Pal. Long story short. . .we were supposed to drop him off at home on our way back up to HQ. . .but I guess God had bigger plans. . So he ended up coming to HQ with me which was super awesome and then God worked everything out so that he could attend a "Journey to the Heart". It's so exciting to see the Lord arranged all the little details for him to go. Nathaniel was able to help out with security at Big Sandy ATI conference and I helped out in the video department. We had a lot of great times!
This was my view!  
It was a great week! Looking forward to Nashville!
I'm looking forward to studying this book with a few other young ladies. It is such an awesome book as Mary Kassian contrast the wild woman of Proverbs 7 with the wise woman of  Proverbs 31. 

"I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. . . For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself" (Philippians 3:14, 20-21).
I found these verses this morning and it really challenged me to continue to press toward Jesus Christ, so that my life would be found in Him. The question that came to my mind was, "Would the conversations that I have today, be found in heaven?" How many times do we discuss stuff that has nothing to do with heaven? If we want our lives to impact others for eternity, our talk must match up with our walk, and our conversations must encourage others in Christ righteousness, because one day we will be changed into his glorious image! Can others see His righteousness in you right now? So stay focused on Jesus Christ and remain faithful to the end!
