Time is going by to fast…….

So, I have sat down many times and started to write on here….and never got around to posting it. So much has happened in the past month, I do not think I could remember all of it. God has been faithful in so many ways though. Over a month ago I was able to graduate from Bible College. It was a nice feeling for sure. Since then, I have been staying busy with work and life.
Two of my siblings are getting married in the next three moths. It has been pretty crazy trying to get all of that together.
About a month ago….God lad on my heart to start a girls Bible study. Last night was our real first meeting. We are doing a study on “Prayer” by Kay Arther. I have to say, I was really scared about leading the whole thing….even though it is something that I have wanted to do for so long now. God was good, and the meeting went well. We had about 15 girls….:) I loved sitting there and talking to them, and best of all…..listening to what God had showed them. I am really excited to see all that God is going to do in the next two months.
I am still planing on going to Uganda in the fall, and am really looking forward to it. It’s been really cool to see God put the whole thing together. Please keep me in your prayers as I plan and get things ready to go. Well, That is about all that I can think to say as of now.

Here are some pictures that a friend took of my last weekend. They are kinda my graduation pictures!

As life goes on……..

Hello!!! So, long time no post………Life has been kinda busy and pretty much anything you can think of is happening. lol. I will be graduating this Saturday with ABE……I cannot believe that I am really done. I have learned so much in the past years while being in Bible college. I also am learning how much I do not know about the Bible. God has really been showing Himself in new ways even this month.

I started this Bible study on prayer not to long ago. It has been one of the best thing for me. God has really given me a new look on how I pray and who I am praying to. I will have to share deeper sometime on all that God has shown me in a later post.

After I graduate this is kinda what I plan to do with God’s leading. God has really blessed me with two new jobs this year. I am now working full time and I thank God for His faithfulness. This summer I hope to start a girls Bible study. We will be going through the book called “Lord, each me to pray in 28 days” this book is by Kay Aurthur. She has really been a blessing to me in many ways….and I know as we do this study on prayer, it will bless others as well.  Lord willing later on this year….I plan on taking a mission trip to Uganda. I will be there for about 3 weeks and can’t wait to go. After that, I am not sure where God will lead me too. I know it will always have to do with serving Him. It’s just one little thing I can do for Him. 

Well, that is pretty much what is going on in my random life at this time. I hope to write more this summer. Guess we will see.

Life goes on……..

I thought I would give an update on what is going on in my life right now. Lord willing I will be graduating on May 2, of this year with an Associate in Biblical Education.  I am very excited about being done with Bible College. As much as I will miss it I am glad to be moving on in life. I have one more take home class I am working on then I will be DONE. God has been so good to me in allowing me to go to school and learn more about Him. I have to say the past three years of my life have been a big growing time for me. God has shown me so many things and overwhelmed me with His unfailing grace and faithfulness in my life. I am staying busy with work and staying involved with ministry at my Church. God has really given me a burden to work with children and teens and I love doing it. I have been praying about taking a trip to Uganda this fall, and Lord willing I will be able to do that sometime in October. There, I hope to be working with the Daniels family and serving them and the ministry God has given them there. One of the many things we will be doing is working with the orphans there in Uganda. God has really given me a burden for the children there that I can not get over. Please pray for me as I walk down this road and seek to be used by God in these ways. Life is short and I want everything I do to bring glory to His name and for His kingdom.

God’s Love….

I was listening to this song this morning in my time with God. The words and meaning of it are overwhelming to me. What amazing Love and Grace God has for you and me. He loves and cares so much for us. More then we could ever do.

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
My chains are gone
I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

“Faith”

Well, I’ve been thinking about this a lot for the past 24 hrs. I was reading in one of my school books and came across a question that it was asking me. The question was this…. “Dose faith in God mean never questioning Him? And then it asked me to Explain. As I started to really think about it, I was taking back at how many times I really do question things that are going on in my life. I always say that I have faith in God for things that are going on around me, but yet how many times I find myself questioning what God might be trying to do at the time. I try to work it out in my own power and sometimes do not even know I am doing it. This was a very convicting thing to me when I really started to think about it. I just felt that God wanted me to share this. Hope it can somehow be used in all of our lives. I would love your feed back on this as well??? Comments are welcome.

A song that has been in my head all week.

I have been thinking about this song all last week and still even today. It just keeps going through my head over and over again. It really goes along great with this past week and all that God showed me. I can now sing it with all my heart and KNOW it is true. I love the last verse. (Oh, to see my name Written in the wounds, For through Your suffering I am free. Death is crushed to death; Life is mine to live, Won through Your selfless love.) May God bless you all. Gal. 2:20

“The Power Of The Cross”

Oh, to see the dawn Of the darkest day: Christ on the road to Calvary. Tried by sinful men, Torn and beaten, then Nailed to a cross of wood.

CHORUS: This, the pow’r of the cross: Christ became sin for us; Took the blame, bore the wrath— We stand forgiven at the cross.

Oh, to see the pain Written on Your face, Bearing the awesome weight of sin. Ev’ry bitter thought, Ev’ry evil deed Crowning Your bloodstained brow.

Now the daylight flees; Now the ground beneath Quakes as its Maker bows His head. Curtain torn in two, Dead are raised to life; “Finished!” the vict’ry cry.

Oh, to see my name Written in the wounds, For through Your suffering I am free. Death is crushed to death; Life is mine to live, Won through Your selfless love.

FINAL CHORUS: This, the pow’r of the cross: Son of God—slain for us. What a love! What a cost! We stand forgiven at the cross.

Victory we DO have in Christ…..

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.  Gal. 2:20

I heard one of the best messages of this verse last night. If Christians could just apply this TRUTH in their lives….what a life of victory they would live. The Christian life is hard….and we can not do it within ourself…..BUT with Christ in us and work through us we can have that victory in our lives. It is no longer us living, but Christ in us. This is when I love to put the verse in “Phil. 4:13  I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” and then one that I can not leave out would be  “2 Cor. 12:9  But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon”. I hope this will be an encouragement to your hearts. God Bless!

Thoughts……..

I am sitting here at the REV coffee shop. I am working on school stuff and thinking about all that I want to write about. God has really been working in my life in the past three weeks, and I want to somehow share it with you all. We are having revival at our church this week and I know I am going to have even more to share from that. I would love to hear from you guys…..your comments are welcome.   Here are two verses from Psalms 139:23-24 that I have really been holding close to my heart….asking the Lord to show me his ways and not my own.

Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!
And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting! ~ Ps. 139:23-24

More to come soon!

It’s been a while….

Hello!! So life has been pretty crazy around here….I have much that I would like to write about, but just have not found the time. Next week is finals and so on……Maybe after that I will share some of my thoughts and what God has been showing me. But for now, I hope you all have a great next two weeks as we think on the birth of our King. Marry Christmas!!!

Very Random…….

It’s been a long time…..guess I need to post something. Well, the past few weeks of my life have been pretty crazy. Anywhere from school, test, working and learning how much I do not know about life. It’s funny to look back five years ago and see what I thought I knew…..hahaa….;) Right now I am just enjoying getting to know my God more and more each day…..and really….the more I am learning about God and his word…the more I see how much I did not know. I don’t think I will ever be in that place….its something that we are going to be learning till we get to heaven. I know one thing….I am so glad that God will never give up on us…even when we have giving up on ourselves. I have really been able to see the truth of God’s goodness in my life and am really taking away by His faithfulness in my life and others around me. God is good and he will complete his good work in us.  Phil. 1:5 “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ” I love this verse right now….it gives me hope in many ways. I know this was a very random post….but its just some thoughts on my mind. God bless!
