I Can't Believe I'm 18!

I am so thankful for everything the Lord has blessed me with these past 18 years! He has help me in so many ways, whether it was giving me strength to get through challenging situations or giving me wisdom on hard decisions. I have failed Him so many times but He helped me anyway! As I embark on this new year in my life, I hope and pray that I will stay away from this dark world, by staying close to the light from His word! <3

For my Birthday, me and my mom decided to go eat lunch and shop in Columbus, MS.

We had a wonderful time and it was such a nice day to be out and about. :)

After searching for an Olive Garden and not being able to find it, we decided to stop and eat at Sweet Peppers Deli. It was so awesome and the food was amazing!

My mom ordered a turkey sandwich with sun-dried tomatoes, avocado, and onions. It was delicious!

I ordered the Hummus salad. OH MY WORD it was amazing! The pita bread was warm!

For a birthday treat, I got a free doughnut from Krispy Kreme! Oh man it was good!

My sweet sister Chloe planned a surprise birthday party for me and invited all my dear friends!!! The story to me was we were going over to a neighbors house to watch the Alabama football game. On our way to their house we had to make a stop to "Pick up some chairs" ; ). When we got there, it was all decorated and everyone jumped out and surprised me! I was so excited and had a wonderful time of fellowship with all of them. :)

To complete the day a beautiful sunset! I couldn't ask for a better birthday, It truly was the best. :)

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 ...

Going Out West

I'm back! :) It has been such a long time since I've sat down and took some time to spend on my blog! Almost two years! Haha! With a list of excuses I could go through, I'll just cut to the chase and say I'm here and Lord willing, I hope to be posting more often. Going out west. Was SO amazing and a trip I'll never forget! Beginning in Las Vegas, Nevada and ending in Oceanside, California I was blessed to meet some of my sweet brothers and sisters in Christ along with experiencing new things. The best part of this trip was I didn't travel alone! I flew out with three preachers; my dad, Elder Sam Bryant, and Elder Craig Blair. It was awesome, I really enjoyed listening to their conversations and learning a thing or two. ;) You may be wondering why I flew with three preachers, well the whole reason this trip to Las Vegas came about was because of a dear sweet group of people. Which I can now happily call, the members of Las Vegas Primitiv...

Hallelujah: God Be Praised

“ I will run, I will run this race, And I will do it all for love, Your love compels me forward, Your love controls my heart, And I just cannot get away. So I will fight this good fight of faith, And I will do it all for love. You are my great reward, You're so worth fighting for And I can't wait to see Your face." I recently stumbled across this sweet song and it really stirred my thoughts. I began to reflected on my life and how many times I have tired to run this race alone. Many times, when I become overwhelmingly busy with the task of life, I set aside precious time with my Heavenly Father, in order to complete them. In just a short amount of time, it becomes so easy to lose my sight on the reason I am here. Yes, it is important to take care of the task we have set before us in this life, we read in Gen. 12:5 that God put Adam in the garden of Eden "to dress it and keep it". We also read in Pro. 31:27 that the virtuous woman, "looke...
