So tonight I am laying in bed and I can't stop thinking about how good God is. After a day like today, it is so easy to become overwhelmed with the In's and outs of life. But then God always brings friends along to remind us that we don't have to do it alone. Tonight God reminded me that even the youth become weary and tired but those who trust in the Lord will find new strength! Tonight this go's out to all of you, my dear friends. If you, like me, feel tired and weary, rest tonight in who God is and who He will always be! Say it out loud: He is my...
Strength
Healer
Friend
Redeemer
Anchor
Provider
Sustainer
Father....and the list goe's on!
Feel free to respond and let me know what God has been to you!!
good night all,
PS - thanks Lynn for being you!! love you

Good Morning Sunshine
Good Morning Sunshine! Today's Words are taken from Isaiah 40 : 3-5
Listen! It's the voice of someone shouting, Clear the way through the wilderness for the Lord! Make a straight highway through the wasteland for our God! Fill in the valleys, and level the mountains and hills. Straighten the curves, and smooth out the rough places. Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all people will see it together.
Prayers abound...

The Snowy Night Air
Tonight as I reflect on who God is I am reminded that he is my shield and my strength. He is ever present and ever real, but always honest and pure. With the blanket of snow that covers the ground, I am once again reminded of the pureness of God and his might and power. The words, "He spoke and it came to be" are the pure essence of who He is. He is God. He is powerful. He is real. And He loves us. His love is beyond anything we can comprehend or imagine. The depths of His love are unreachable and the height is never ceasing.
Tonight as I was walking Zoey, I stopped and just looked at the white snow in the streets. The lights reflecting on the glaze of the quiet streets were almost chilling, but chilling in a magnificent way. No people or cars around me, just the breeze blowing in the snowy night air; it was as if the angels of God were fluttering all around me. I felt like I was standing in a dream. It was so peaceful and so quaint. And just for a moment I felt like I was provided a "small" glimpse of heaven. And for that moment life was....perfect.

Patiently Waiting
This is my first blog post and I am so excited to start this journey. I want this to be a place where I can share with my readers and also post questions and thoughts for personal reflection. I have no way of knowing what God is up to but I am always up for adventure.
After just celebrating my 28th birthday I have been thinking a lot about my singleness! Yes, as most of my friends are walking down the aisle and saying their "I do's" I am patiently waiting on the sidelines of life for my "Mr. Right" to come along. I know that some of my friends would choose to argue that being merely 20 "something" my time has not come yet. But my struggle is exactly that. Being single in my late 20's I am constantly reminded of my singleness. I feel like the first thing people notice when I walk into a room is, "She's alone." My subconscious would also argue that this however is my underlying fear simply presenting it's self. I do believe that God has great things in store for me, however the only question I feel that is left unanswered for me right now is will I be walking it alone?
I have experienced the greatness of love and also been hurt by that same greatness. So the question remains, "If love can be so good, then how can it also be so bad?" How long must I wait?
