Our 4 Years……

My Amazing Husband & Me

Joel & I in June celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary! Wow how time fly’s when you are having fun. It is a wonderful feeling to know that you have found that one person that will love you no matter what while we are here on earth. That one person that you can share your natural thoughts with and know that they will not judge you no matter how worldly they are (you know we all have those moments no matter how holy you are) As much as I thought at one point in my life that I could go through life all alone and be fine, I thank God that He knows me better because I can’t imagine life without Joel. He is soft and kind, everyday he teaches me something new about myself, about his love for me and about the love the Father has for me and for both of us together. My husband is an example in his own right, he does it his own way and let me tell you that people respond. I am truly excited to see what God does in him over the next year at school and am honored to walk through this life as his wife. He has a heart after God and will do anything for you if you ask him to. His compassion for the lost is astounding and moves me every time I see him minister the life of God to someone. Joel you are truly my gift form God and the best friend that I have always dreamed of. I Love you I look forward to the next 4 years and more!!!!!!

Alone Time…..

So I have found that I love my alone time! I love my husband, and I love to spend time with him! BUT I have to say that I love those times when he is at work, the house is clean and all I have to do is ANYTHING I WANT TO )

The things that I like to do alone:

Pray, Sit on my new MAC and listen to my itunes, read a good book on the porch, take a good run, dance in the middle of the living room (That is a sight, that’s why I do it when I am alone), and last would be a nice bubble bath with my ipod in and I sing along to whatever I am listening to like there is no tomorrow!

My Girls!

Me, Teri & Kelli

Do you have those one or two girls in your life that you have known ever since forever? If you were to look back over the year you never have a memory without them. There are two people in my life like that, Kelli & Teri you girls are the friends that I have hated to loved and even at times loved to hate. Yet through it all the fights the laughter the tears and the joy of seeing each of you find the man of your dreams and even you Kelli bring a beautiful little girl into this crazy world, you have always been MY girls!

Almost two moths ago now I called both of them out of the blue to see if they wanted to take a little trip for the weekend to FL! With sadness and a space that was empty of Teri, Kelli and I went to FL and had such a great time with each other. We talked as we laid on the beach about things that we loved and hated, dreams and where we would love to be in ours lives. We had to on the second day be old ladies and sit under the umbrella because we got burnt the first day ;o) Even still it was nice just her and I out there on the beach, we love our men you know we do, but we also need that time to just be with the girls!

Take time out for your girls. Even if it is just a cup of coffee or a girls night out to dinner and a movie, do it you know you need to!

Sometimes I think we get caught up in the everyday moment of things, and than when it slows we find that those moments those short clips of memories with our girls are some of the things that make us laugh or even just smile!

We are worthy!

Have you ever felt that you were not worthy to be doing what you were doing. Either you felt that there is someone out there that can do it better than you or that you just have never really thought in your own mind that this is where you were suppost to be.

I was in a class at Rhema this morning and being Alumni and sitting in this class over 7 years ago I am not sure that the same message that was being given than had the same impact that it had on me today. From the moment that we ask Jesus to be our Lord and Savior that is the moment that we become worthy. Worthy of what you ask, of anything that He has given to us here on earth. When you know your postion in God than you understand that you are worthy of any place or position that He has placed you in no matter what you think about it.

Yes there may be someone out there that if they were in your place would do things different, but you are the one that God called to be there. What impacted me the most about the day was the last comment that Doug made he said that “After you are given righteousness you have to walk WORTHY of your right standing” For me this meant that God gave us righteousness or made us worthy to walk with Him on the day that we were saved, yet it is up to us to walk worthy by staying in His word and expanding our knowledge of the kingdom. This will result in a great boldness to walk in your postion no matter what it is!

Remember though that with position comes responsability!

How all this works?

So, just when I thought that I had something mastered something new hits the fan. Come to find out that it is not that new but as usual I am just late at getting the news about it. I remember talking with Cami about word press about a year ago. I came home and tried to get on it and at the time was not in the right mind to try and figure it all out. It took me sometime to get my space now I have this new thing to learn, it was just too much. So here I am one year later and on word press. I like it better than my space by far; I just know that it will take me some time to get it all.
