Blessings in the midst of trials,

Often times when we are going through difficult times in our lives we forget or overlook the blessings that God bestows upon us or others. If we let ourselves get caught up in the trials and having a pity party we will miss the blessings that He gives to us or others. It is something that I have trouble with and that Satan loves to bring up. But when we are blinded by the flesh we cannot see what God is doing for us in the spirit. So let us remember to pay more attention to the blessings instead of the hardness of the trial. God bless you this week!

Fun Filled Weekend!

I had one of the best weekends I have had in a long time. I went to see Love Happens on Friday night with Courtney and we went to college station on Saturday. We went to an A&M football game and got to see all the fun suff that goes on in the Core. We stood with the Core during the football game. For those of you who don't know all the traditions at A&M the students stand through the entire football game, and this includes the Core too! For those of you who may not know what the Core is I will try and explain. It is what makes A&M what it is and if it weren't for them A&M wouldn't exists.(or at least it probably wouldn't be as big of a school) It is a group of guys and gals that sign up with different branches of the military and they start out by going to school at A&M. This is where their training begins! It was a lot of fun to watch and learn about some of their traditions! We also got the grand tour of the campus! And to top off this fun filled weekend my niece took her first step on Sunday! Sadly I didn't get to see it but she walked a step or two to me later!!!! I cant believe she will be a year old in just 4 short weeks! Our baby is growing up!!! All in all it was an amazing weekend. God has truly blessed me with some amazing friends! This week is going to be amazing too! Lunch with Abigail tomorrow and a conference in Waco this weekend. I called Starbucks today ( for those of you who didn't know I had an interview with them last week) the manager asked me to call back tomorrow. Apparently they have been super busy and haven't had time to look through all the stuff yet. So still keep praying for me in the job front. I am still looking for medically oriented job but for now God has blessed me with some part time job opportunities! I hope everyone has a blessed week!

An Interview!

I know I haven't written in a while. Partly because I have been sick and partly because I have been fairly busy. I started working every other Thursday at a daycare type place called MOPS. It stands for moms of preschoolers. It is at a local church here in town. I enjoyed watching and playing with the kiddos. :) Motherhood is going to be awesome! ( it will be awhile before that ever happens.) I have an interview today with Starbucks. Hopefully I can work there part time in the afternoons that way I am still free to work for the lady I care for in the mornings. I know that God has already worked everything out and all I need to do is have faith and patience. These aren't the jobs that I am looking for but I know that God is teaching me something through all of this. I just don't know what it is yet. I hope everyone is having a blessed week! May God bless and keep you the rest of the week!

Take My Life and Let It Be > Lyrics | Frances R. Havergal

This has always been a favorite hymn of mine. It has helped me through so much. I hope it encourages you as much as it has me. God bless you!






Take My Life and Let It Be > Lyrics Frances R. Havergal: "Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee;
Take my voice and let me sing,
Always, only for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee;
Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in endless praise;
Take my intellect and use
Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose.
Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart, it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store;
Take myself and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee."

Gone astray.

It seems of late that I have strayed from God and all that He has promised me that He will do for me. It isn't easy for me to admit this but the more soul searching I do the more I realize how far I have strayed. As the days go by I realize how much I need Him to lean upon. There are so many uncertainties in this world and He is the only certain and sure thing. I am asking all who read this to please pray for me as I make my way back to His promises and His path. I hope that everyone has a blessed week.

Psalm 119:176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant nor I do not forget your commandments.

PS For those who are wondering whether or not I got the job with the surgeon. It seems that I have not gotten the job. But I am doing part time work helping someone who is no longer able to get around her home. Thanks for the prayers and please continue to pray.
