Sister Time Is The Best!!!

It was such a blessing to have Hannah up here for a couple days before we went on the Journey to the Heart!!! So grateful that my sister can be my best friend. I miss all the good ole days but now I cherish the times we get to spend together. Keep seeking after Jesus, He is enough!

Hannah literally baked a ton, cinnamon rolls, cookies, and more cookies. Ya, anyways. . .we had to ship some away. So, we sent some cookies down to Nathaniel and Seth!!!

We went and played Mini golf! Hannah and Phillip tied for first and I of course didn't do so well but it was fun to say the least.

Happy times!!! TTFN!!!

Summer Fun!!!

It was a great day to relax and enjoy the summer sun. So, we went to the Indiana Dunes!!! 

My 21st Birthday & Trip To TX

I'm one year closer to meeting my Jesus! I'm more excited than ever!!! He has been so faithful this past year to work in my life and each step of the way conforming me unto His perfect image. Thank you Jesus for your loving-kindness and patience with me.

Jennifer surprised me and got a group of girls together for my birthday! It was amazing!!! I actually was surprised, it was great to hang out with these awesome friends and sisters in Christ. Jennifer left which was super sad but we had a great time at her going away party!

We had a picnic lunch, went to the beach, and played at the park!!! Then we came home and they got my favorite! Which is angel food cake with strawberries!!! Ah, so delicious!!! Anyways, I was blown away by the love they showed to me and the time that they gave to make my birthday special. You guys are the best ever!!!

Spending my 21st birthday with these amazing people!

Then to make it even better my family came up to visit me on my birthday!!! I was SUPER excited that they were able to come up for a couple days. :)  Y'all made my birthday super special and I'm so grateful to have y'all in my life!!!

I'm so thankful that the Lord knows exactly what we need when we need it! It's incredible to watch him work in our lives.

Home School Convention

Then we headed down to TX! The Duggars asked us to help them with their book sales for the THSC Home School Convention. It was incredible to talk with the families and all those who are seeking after the Kingdom of God. It's exciting to see so many hungering and thirsting for the ways of the Lord. 

Part of the awesome book sales team!

Then to make the whole trip better!!! I was able to see Nathaniel and Seth while I was in TX and then saw Mom, Hannah and Timothy when we came back through MO! It was great to see everyone again!!!

1st Time to See the West Coast!

We flew out to Sacramento for our last family conference! As crazy as it sounds, this was my first time to fly!!! I can't say that it was "thrilling" or anything awesome like that, but it was fun. Everything went smoothly and I was flying with some of my amazing friends, which always makes everything better!!!

Getting ready to take off!

A few conference pics!

On Saturday, we went to San Francisco! Which was amazing!!! I got to see the pacific ocean, the Golden Gate Bridge, and went driving downtown! 

Enjoying the Ocean!!! I LOVE being outside!!!

Enjoying The Friends God Has Given Me!!!

I got to spend the day with these awesome people!

 We went to the shed aquarium. I was so amazed at the creativity of God!!! It was incredible, each design was so unique, and just realizing that we don't create anything new. . .we only get ideas from what was already created in the beginning!!! My first thought was "WOW" and then I thought "My Father made that!!!" It was absolutely incredible to see the vast variety that that was displayed! 

It's super sad cause Jennifer and Brent are both leaving. HQ won't be the same without them but we're excited to see where the Lord is going to use them next!

Here are some pictures from Brents Farewell party.

Faithful friends are hard to find! 

Jennifer, you have been such a blessing and encouragement to me, to keep my eyes focused on Jesus and always put Him first in everything! Thanks!

Delighting In The Lord!
