The Many Blessings of 2013.

The past year, just like any other, has had its ups and downs. However, I want to take the time to reflect back on the things I'm most thankful for that happened. :)

One of the many good memories I have, is my oldest sister's wedding!
I remember being SO excited! Seeing her walk down the isle and her husbands reaction was a priceless moment. <3

Moving to Alabama, due to my dad getting a job, was such a blessing!!
Adjusting to the country life is still in the working though! Ha-ha but I love it!

Saying goodbye to my friends in Florida was VERY hard.......

but I am SO thankful for the new friends the Lord has blessed me with. :)

They made the move to Alabama so much easier.

Love these girls!

Dad's 50th Birthday! : D

Singing School 2013!!
What a great time I had singing praises to God with my
Brother's and Sister's in Christ. Looking forward to next year!

My 17th birthday!

Jessica's Tacky Christmas Sweater Party!

I had such a great time of fellowship and fun with these girls. I love them so much!

One of my new year resolutions:

and no matter what don't worry. God is with us and He will help us with all that the future may hold.

Have faith in God! :)

Looking forward to making new memories in 2014!

Day 6: A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day

I would love to trade places with Rick Steves. Staring in his own T.V show, he tours all around the world, visiting beautiful locations, staying at resorts, and learning about different cultures and foods! He also goes biking, hiking and kayaking through beautiful country. If I traded places with him, I would have so much fun, learning and trying different things. I would also love to take pictures of everything! :D

Remember Thanksgiving.

I love Fall. The weather is just right, the skies are bright blue, and the leaves are all sorts of different colors! Thanksgiving is coming soon and I'm looking forward to it. I love the fact that its a day set aside to reflect on all the blessing we have in our lives! Sometimes its easy to forget all we have, especially when we get in the mind set that I won't be happy unless I have a new possession. These "things" will make you happy for a moment but they will eventually become old or out of style. We shouldn't look to material things to make us happy because they won't. We should be thankful for the things we already have. One thing we should be very thankful for is God's Word. His word is something we need to walk and live by everyday. Its a map to know what turns to take. The Bible sustains us, guides us, comforts us, strengthens us and so much more. Joy and peace is there, waiting for us right on our book shelf. One of my favorite ...

Nothing Shall Take What Lives Within

My heart was really torn after what happened to the church in Sutherland Springs, Texas this past week. I just can not imagine going through something like that. Last Wednesday night, I was blessed to hear a comforting message from the pastor of Bethlehem Primitive Baptist Church, Elder Tim McCool. Speaking from Revelation 6:10-11, he reminded us that Our God is a Just God, Holy and True and even though man may take this outward body NOTHING can take away what's living within it. Praise God! I n relation to all of this, I was led to write a short poem. May it be, I hope and pray, a comfort to others. Fear, doubt, and trouble, come in as a warring thunder. Where is that silver lining, beyond these dark, thick, clouds asunder? We look to what surrounds us, what is amongst, finding no line of silver, a question unconquered. Is this a hidden treasure, we must seek to find? With a sigh, we find a hidden place and a book of Holy, by our side. In past, this book had served, to ...
