Put your faith in God!

"Faith came singing into my room, and other guests took flight. Grief, Anxiety, Fear and Gloom, Sped out into the night. I wondered that such peace could be, but Faith said gently, don't you see that they can never live without me?" I read this and thought it would be worth sharing. Without Faith I'm not quite sure where I would be. I put my faith in God and he has provided for me in ways I can't imagine. What an Amazing God we serve! I just love it! Gives me goose bumps!

Closer to God

I grew up knowing that God was someone who loved and cared for my well being. My mother became sick often with skin infections just after my parents got a divorce. After that i didn't have it easy with the constant taking care of my mom and trying to gain my dad's attenchion. I learned a lot from my mom and she really showed me what it was like to have a relationship with God. After all that she had been through she still loved and praised God for all the things he had given her. It took me a long time to see what good God was doing for our family. My mother ended up passing about three years ago. At first i became angry at God, i mean how could he do something like this to me when my mother did nothing but praise him. I soon started reading the bible more and realizing that God wasn't the reason for my moms death. It was just her time and there was nothing i could do to stop it. She was in so much pain the last few years and i'm glad that she doesn't have to deal with it any longer. I now look back on our life together and i remember all the things she did for others and how you could just tell by the way she talked and her actions that she was really close to God. She truely loved her heavenly father. So now i try to live my life the way she lived hers, always striving to glorify God in all that i do. Even when i feel like the world is caving in on me i know that God is there to pick me up.

Holiday DIY Ideas?

Every year my family gets together for Christmas to exchange gifts. With my family being sorta big, we decided to bake treats or make something that doesn't cost us to much.  This year I'm sick of making cookies or chocolates... i want to make something that they can use or enjoy throughout the year. I need ideas! I was thinking of making soap or even home made snow globes. With the Holidays upon us i thought i would get a head start. Please Comment Below with Your ideas! Thanks! :)

Welcome!

Hello again!

      Today i missed going to church because i wasn't feeling to well. After i slept half the day away i got out of bed and went to have worship. I can't get enough of devotional books! I could read them over and over again. So i grabbed a few of my devotional books and my bible. As i was reading today's lesson i came across this text. "I praise you because i am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, i know that full well." Psalm 139:14 NIV. I Love this text! God knew just what he was doing when he created us. He took the time to get down into the dirt and form us with his bare hands. Everything he made before that he spoke into existence. Amazing how "fearfully and wonderfully" we are made. "How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!" 1 John 3:1 NIV. I do believe that today i can say that even though i missed going to church and not feeling to well pretty much all day, i still was able to have a pretty good worship thought with God. God is Good!! I Pray that you gain a blessing today.

Remembering Family

This weekend was a busy one. Family reunion was really nice to see all those family members of mine that i don't get to see more than once a year. Its amazing how much people change and grow as each year goes by. Plenty of little ones to welcome into the family. We took a side trip on the way home to the cemetery that my mother was buried two and a half years ago. It hit me, that feeling of "wow this is real." Not everyday do you think about the ones you lost, some days are more hard than others and somehow you make it though it. Just one day at a time, that's what i keep telling myself. This year is going to be another turning point in my life and yet i want to somehow turn back the time to where i could ask my mom for advice and have someone to talk to. I'm still a bit unsure if i want to move on... in the back of my head there's always that thought of if i do indeed move on I'm going to forget my mother and leave her behind. I know that's something i would never want to do but as the years go by you tend to forget somethings. There is those times when I'm out with friends and then i remember something funny or exciting that my mom did you said. Never will i forget her and how much she loved me and my sister! This picture was taken on the way home from the cemetery. i thought the sun set was perfect! It's amazing how when it seems your world is crumbling around you God gives you a lovely sunset to end challenging day.

This is my best friend that has always been there for me when i needed him. I have been through a lot these last two years and I'm so glad he was there by my side the whole way through it. Today i said goodbye to my dog charlie, he went to a really great family who I'm sure will love him just the same as i did. I'm moving on with my life and going to enlist in the United States Air Force and had no one to take care of my little darling while I'm gone. It was for the best and i did the right thing i just wish saying goodbye wasn't that hard.

Watch this! i want to do the 10 day Juice challenge :)
