I Just Want To Say. . .

We Serve An Awesome God!!!

He uses every circumstance and trial in our lives as an opportunity to come into His presence and give thanks in all things.  

 

Pal is back down at ALERT, so I got to spend time with him this past week, which was AMAZING!!!

 

Looking Unto Jesus

We had an incredible week in Big Sandy, TX for our Regional Family Conference. I was so blessed to be able to go down to TX and help with the conference. The Lord blessed in so many ways; families were encouraged, individuals were strengthened in their relationship with God, many were moved by powerful messages from the speakers, and most of all God was glorified and exalted! I love the theme that we had this year, "Looking Unto Jesus". Our life should be focused upon Him. He is our Rock and when things are changing around us we can be confident in our Redeemer because He is same yesterday, today, and forever. He is a merciful God and does ALL things well in His time.

 

We were able to stop at Mandie's house for lunch on our way down!

Fun times before the conference started!

It was great to be able to spend time with Pal! I cherish the time we have together because it doesn't come very often. Thanks for being an awesome brother, I couldn't ask for anything better!!! :)

 

I Can't Believe This. . .

My best friend and little sister Hannah turned 16 on Monday!!! How does time fly by so fast!? I headed home Friday night to surprise Hannah for her birthday, which was a success! I was so blest to be able to spend the weekend with my family and friends.

My dearest sister who has a kind and tender heart towards the Lord! I'm excited to see what the Lord does through your life this next year! Keep close to the heart of our Father who lives and reigns on High. He will guide and direct you into places you will never be able to go without Him. Go forward in this confidence, " That your God does all things well"!  

 

We got to play some volleyball at Hannah's birthday party!

I'm so thankful for the time I could spend with my awesome brothers! Seth took me out to some of our friends farm, we got to ride 4-wheelers and go down the zip-line!!! It was so fun, I haven't been able to do very much outdoors, in a long time, so I enjoyed it immensely!

Pictures of my very best friend and I!!!

 

"Side by side or miles apart, we are sisters connected at the heart"

Be Still Before the Lord!

STILL, MY SOUL BE STILL

Still my soul be still
And do not fear
Though winds of change may rage tomorrow
God is at your side
No longer dread
The fires of unexpected sorrow

Still my soul be still
Do not be moved
By lesser lights and fleeting shadows
Hold onto His ways
With shield of faith
Against temptations flaming arrows

Still my soul be still
Do not forsake
The Truth you learned in the beginning
Wait upon the Lord
And hope will rise As stars appear when day is dimm
 
God You are my God
And I will trust in You and not be shaken
Lord of peace renew
A steadfast spirit within me
To rest in You alone

I Serve a God who Still Works Miracles!

 "I am held by the confidence of God's utter trustworthiness. He is at work, producing miracles I haven't imagined. I must wait for them."
