Psalm 37:4

Delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Psalms 37:4





Let me first start off by saying HOW AMAZING IS OUR MAKER? Every day is so new and exciting. I love being here in College Station. I have learned so much about myself, life, and more importantly about my Daddy in Heaven. Right now I am going through things that are really making me fall solely at His feet alone, and not look to the comfort of others. It is so scary but peaceful at the same time!

Well, the time has come for me to take my nursing exam! I must say I had a few breakdowns while I was studying, but for the most part I am just taking it with the knowledge that it is not in my control. I will be taking it this coming Tuesday!!! Pray that my nerves are calmed and that I am able to recall the information!

Aside from studying my roommate and I decided that a camping trip was a definite need at this time! We went to Lake Somerville and had a BLAST! We fished with bacon=), went on little hikes, and just enjoyed our friendships! I am so lucky to have wonderful brother and sisters in Christ to have fun with. Here are a few pics of our trip!

We put the tents up at 9:30 that night! Cory and Abel

Our Texas snowman, WILSON! Look at the beautiful day!




Our camp site right on the water~ site 124!!!





I love my friends

You cant look at this and tell me there is no God! The stars were 10000x more amazing than these! There were a ton! We layed out and watched them for hours at night!

I like school??

I can hardly believe it! I am actually enjoying this semester of school. (YES THAT DID JUST COME OUT Of MY MOUTH=)) I am not sure if it is my 3 hour pottery class on Mondays and Wednesdays or what, but it sure is a great way to pass the semester by.

Christmas break was so much fun. I was a lot of fun to be with my family for so long. I may have even over stayed my welcome for a little bit too long, but it is just because family is something I cherish so much!

Back to my awesome semester of school. I was absolutely dreading going back! My first day back was my Tuesday and Thursday class day. I have technical writing and medical terminology. For once in my lifetime I felt smart in a class. I knew most of the stuff my medical terminology teacher was saying!! It made me feel so good about my self, and those days of working in the hospital really did pay off. My Wednesday class was amazing! It was Ceramics! All we do is make stuff and paint it!! HOW AWESOME IS THAT! I think everyone in my class thought I was nuts when I kept saying "Can you believe this is a college class? This is so awesome."

God is really answering so many of my questions, doubts and fears. I always find going back to school leaves me feeling empty and alone. It seems there are so many people, but no one who truly understands how I feel. God is making me depend solely on Him and His guidence and wisdom.

1 Peter 4:11 says If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that IN ALL THINGS GOD MAY BE PRAISED THROUGH CHRIST JESUS. To Him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

I am trying to lean only on Him, and not people around me. I want everything that I do and speak to be pleasing and edifying to my Father above. I am so thankful that He has given me this semester to enjoy the actual school part of college. I am so thankful and cannot tell you how much this is going to make my semester so much better! He has given me the opportunity to enjoy the moment that I am in, as well as cherish everything around me that He has created. My eyes are opening to see His beauties all around me.


Well, here goes to an amazing semester of school!!! lol (Wow this is a new concept for me)




(its really late.. excuse any gramatical errors.. thats what tech. writing is for... I am not supposed to be good until the class is over=)))

Get out of jail free card

I tried to sit down last night and write some of the things that have been going on in my life, adventures if you will, but nothing came to mind. Today I was in psychology, a class that I have struggled to understand simply because a lot of the therapies and such are not Bible but self based. We were talking about stress and how to identify and cope with the stress we face. My prof asked the class “Who has more stress? Single, Married, or divorced people?” Easily enough most of us answered correct with people who are divorced, some said married. Then she moved on to who was next, now this is where it clicked that we as a society are so messed up with our view of marriage. Everyone in the class said that there was more stress on the married people than single. Now I know everyone does not think that marriage is bad, obviously, people get married all the time, but it really concerned me that all these people would say that being married was at the top of the list. In my opinion today’s society has made it where divorce is such an easy “get out of jail free card”. For some reason I couldn’t stop thinking about it today. I am apparently not married, but I cannot wait to be walked down the aisle by my daddy and be given away to some man of God. A man that God has spent years upon years preparing my heart for, and his for me. The act of marriage is so beautiful and shouldn’t be taken lightly. I am not one to plan out my wedding in advance, I mean I can’t wait, but I don’t know the colors and I have no clue what I want my dress to look like. I think I’m waiting to have that excitement when the time comes, but I absolutely think and pray for the man that God has for me. When I say I do, it will be FOREVER. (sorry future husband…. You can’t get rid of me) I know that there will be tough times , my parents can tell you that about me, but I know that if we have our eyes fixed on the One above, nothing can break us apart. Well that is my view on the case… now I guess he just needs to find me.

I am going because a few of my friends are in the Miss UMHB pagent, so naturally I feel the need to take my loud mouth and cheer for them! Last time I was in Belton Paige, Brit, Kelsey and myself deceided to wrap Nathan's (paiges bf) room with post-it notes! We tend to create mischief where ever we go which is something I love about us! These girls are so amazing and hold me accountable. I am so fortunate to have such AWESOME women of God as my best friends! We all have the same ideas and ARE OH SO IN LOVE WITH THE LORD=)



I also got to write a letter to president elect Obama this week for government! It was an essay/letter that we will actually be sending to the white house! I am sure he will never see it but if he does.... I would be happy! Oh... side note.. I am watching the news right now and the anchor said Obama I mean Osama Bin Laden! HaHa well they kinda are one in the same.
