If you live in our house, you know when you get up in the morning that the TV is going to be on channel 222, the Fox News Channel (thanks to dad). Well, today when we turned on our TV, this is what was on Fox News. This is worth checking out! As Shepard Smith said today, "the world is weird..."

It's Been A Long Time....
Woooooooow! It's been over a month since I last posted. And I have no good reason to give to you, my readers, why I have not been posting. I have just been slacking.
Not much has happened in the last month, other than school, a trip to Pennsylvania, work, things going on at church, lots of hang out time with friends, and my 21st birthday.
I finished my first term of school this past week! Total EGG that I finished with an A!!! What a blessing that was! My next classes start on Monday, so please keep me in your prayers.
I have never been passed Maryland before, so it was a neat experience to travel north. We visited some old friends of my grandma's, who lived on the side of the mountain. On top of great fellowship, and lot of laughs, we had a time of worship which was so cool! We then traveled to the Amish country. What a different world they live in! I also saw a chocolate lab puppy. I so want one now!!! haha We had a blast having our first vacation with GG and Don. Next northern trip.... New York... here I come!!!
Can I just say that I love my church? I think I go to the best church ever! What a blessing it has been to be back at the church I grew up in? I was at my desk the other day, thinking... all these people I work with, I have known sense I was 8 years old. How cool is that? I bet most of you can't say that! haha At the moment I am doing our membership class, which I have really enjoyed. It's difficult being there at 8:30 in the morning before church, but it's been great refreshing on what we believe. Along with the singles community group, I am doing a book study on Hinds' Feet on High Places with some single girls in our church. If you have not read this book, I would encourage you to do so. I can totally relate with Much Afraid on so many levels. I'll try to get on here tomorrow to blog about the chapter that really stood out.
Saturday was my 21st birthday. All day I saw EGG's. I was so blessed. One way I saw how blessed I am, was my family I am surrounded by. Sorry everyone, but I have the best family in the world! And I'm not being biased. They are a gift from God! And after a wonderful day, He topped it off with a win for Auburn vs. Florida, and 100% on my test. I would say, this was my best birthday yet.
In closing, I'd like to share this verse.
"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trails of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." -James 1:2-4

You Are EVERYTHING I Need
This is my new favorite song at the moment. With school starting up, I feel like I don't have time for anything else. To tell the truth, with other stuff plus school, I'm a bit stressed... and I'm not one to get stressed. Once again, I think God is really using this time in my life, as a working single and now college student, to put my trust in Him. It's not all about having a perfect grade... which at least I have an A in Humanities. He is everything I need! He is my strength in my weakness!
2 Corinthians 12:9 says, "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 me."
If you think of me, please pray for me during this time in my life. That I will trust God during this season He has me in! And also, that I can be able to see His grace through out my day. Because it's there!

Psalms 90
I am making my way through Psalms... still. And last week I read chapter 90, From Everlasting to Everlasting. I loved it and thought I would share it. I really loved the verse 2. "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, for everlasting to everlasting you are God." He amazing is so amazing!!!
"Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
You return man to dust and say, "Return, O children of man!"
For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.
You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning:
in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; in the evening it fades and withers.
For we are brought to an end by your anger; by your wrath we are dismayed.
You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
For all our days pass away under your wrath; we bring our years to an end like a sigh.
The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.
Who considers the power of your anger, and your wrath according to the fear of you?
So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Return, O LORD! How long? Have pity on your servants!
Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, and for as many years as we have seen evil.
Let your work be shown to your servants, and your glorious power to their children.
Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!"

A Snapshot from Life
08/28/2011 - Surveying the damage. It's only by God's grace that none of our many oak trees fell down, only a lim that broke our fence and another dad's tree stand!
