on a personal note.

so waiting is a pretty difficult thing for me to do. as in other blogs, ive talked about how i dont have patience. with anything. i hate that about me. ive really tried working on it. somedays are better than others of course, but i never can completely have full patience with everything.

last night i was talking to a new friend, that told me something interesting.
we were on the subject "how does he know he's met the one?" to be honest, ive never heard it put in this way. to hear someone be in a relationship for almost 2 years and say that he doesnt think about it.
he told me, "I have a certain priority order that most people i talk to disagree with. The way I handle my relationships is that I put God 1st, Family 2nd, friends 3rd, education 4th, THEN my girlfriend. most people immediately put girlfriend 1st or 2nd. so "the one" is not something that i think about this point in life. I dont know who God has planned for me to marry. Although, the girl i'm dating now has alot of what i want in a wife."

this really opened my eyes. you know we've all heard the saying "put God first and everything else will fall into place." it is so true. when God is in it, its going to be amazing.
so for me to have patience, is so big for me. i know i can do it, i just have to give it all to Him. and thats so hard to do sometimes. to not think about when i'll meet "the one" or who i will marry, to not worry, to not be bothered about things, to not remember things from the past. i know God has forgiven me and i have said take it all, Lord. but WHY do i beat myself up about it. its me that wont let go. its me. i ask that you pray for me.

the Christian walk isnt going to be easy, but He promised He would never leave.
for that i am so thankful and humbled by.

Have a wonderful Tuesday. :)

75 & still young.

today is my mammaw's 75th birthday!
i am so thankful for her. she has always been there for everything. for all my pageants, singing gigs, and always been such an encourager. she's always been so strong. going through cancer, losing her husband and best friend, and going through other hard family things. she always is so positive and never loses her faith. she loves to talk and tell stories about her children and grandchildren. she's a bundle of joy to be around and i dont know what i'd do without her in my life. she has truely blessed my life.

I thank my God every time I remember you. Phil. 1:3

Hope you all have Blessed Monday!

You have turned my mourning into dancing.

super summer 2010.
it was absolutely amazing and humbling. God really moved in each of us there.
"you have to make people do things they don't want to, so they can become what they want to be." Bryant "BB" Bush, our speaker for the week said this, along with many other quotes. one thing he said on the last night we were there was that "never give up. even to the point of death. we are surrounded by a cloud of greatness and they are cheering us on, here on earth." then he told us to close our eyes and to listen to the sound that we were about to hear. it was a crowd of people yelling for us, cheering for us, clapping for us. it was the best sound i had heard and the way it was put in that perspective, was so humbling and refreshing. sometimes we think that we are all alone and everyone is making fun of us, but really that is only the devil doing those things. God and the angels are cheering us on. isnt that just amazing to know? no matter what we go through, there is always that cloud of greatness, feeling our pain, laughing with us, crying with us, and cheering us on.
Joshua 3:5 Consencrate yourselves.




Expect God to do Big things! :)
Hope you have a great weekend!

pieces of my puzzle.

things are starting to come together each day for me. i've been going to a new church, meeting new people, hanging out with my little cousins and family down here, getting close to finally getting a job, and may be even moving into a new place in the middle of august! God has been blessing me so much in just the last few days. all the pieces to my puzzle are starting to come together. and i couldnt be more excited about it. but what can i say, it takes alot to get me down anyways! ha :)
didnt think this move was gonna be to grand after only being here for a week. i started missing people from jones and my parents, along with my house. nothing seemed to be going right. i wanted to just go home and give up.
soon after getting upset and two tears rolled out of my eyes, God turned everything around. and it has been such a great few days.

last night i read Matthew 14:22-33, when Jesus walks on water. how Peter had so little faith in Jesus when the wind became too strong. it reminded me that even if something isn't going right in my day, that it shouldnt make me want to give up. it should make me want to keep going and have stronger faith in Jesus, that he'll make everything better. no matter what goes on in my life, even though He already knows whats going on, He still wants to hear about it. He wants me to talk to Him and to ask for things. when we run to Jesus, He's already running to meet us.

the pictures are just from this week. how beautiful the skies have been and one with showing off my cute headband. :)

and if our God is for us
then who could ever stop us
and if our God is with us
then what could stand against

i hope you all have the best weekend everrr!

last night i was laying in bed with eric and sarah anne and they told me what they wanted to be when they grow up.
Eric said he wanted to be one of these: a major league baseball player, book writer, or lay carpet like his daddy.
Sarah Anne said she wanted to be one of these: a teacher, cheerleader, or dancer.

i thought this would be cute to share. they are some pretty amazing kids.

sorry to hear.

Paramore is probably one of my favorites bands ever. Their lyrics have such strong meaning to them. One I will see them in concert. Its on my things to do list. I was looking through my itunes earlier and I had forgotten about this song "hello hello" by paramore. As I listened to it, it made me like it even more. Here are some of the lyrics in the song.


Hello Hello
Is anyone home?
Hello Hello
Just pick up the phone.

I opened up my life to you
I told you everything I knew
You listened so closely too
You listened so close
When love was just a way out
But you're going deaf now
Yeah, you turned your head around

Hello Hello
Is anyone home?
Hello Hello
Just pick up the phone
You'll be sorry to hear
I'm doing fine now
Sorry to hear
You're without me now

You blew up the world I built for us
Destroyed our secret universe
Threw out the trust I put in you
Making me feel like I'd been used

And now I'm reminded
That I was just blinded

I'm doing fine
You'll be alright
Maybe you'll think of me tonight (hello...)
You're doing fine
And I'll be alright
Just give me time
Yeah...

Hello Hello
Is anyone home?
Hello Hello
Just pick up the phone
I don't wanna hear
You're doing fine now
Don't wanna hear
I'm without out you now

I'm without you now
Without you now.


This weekend I will sing in one of my closest friends wedding. I'm super excited about it. They are the sweetest couple, everrr! love them and wish them the best! :)))
I'll be glad to see all my friends as well. Nothing will bring me down.

have a fun, great weekend!

in the dark.

this week i am doing vbs at my home church. today was about God cares for us. And how He will never leave us no matter what! it was truly a blessing to me, today.
i have had some encouragement today from some friends. it has also been a blessing. no matter what this life brings us, we Christians, should be so focused on Him that our hearts will make it through the pain. we have a bigger God who loves us and takes care of us.
proverbs 3:5-6 says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take." thanks to my precious friends, family, and my amazing God who never leaves me.

Ive been writing lately:

he never cared a thing for me. I thought he did. he said he did. he lied. he used me. he said he didn't. he did though. For whatever reason. he told me what I wanted to hear. I believed him. I was dumb to believe a child. I don't hate him. I just don't care for him. I wish I could make him feel the pain I have felt. he is a magician. And I was an innocent girl that he had under his spell. I don't know how I could let this happen, but something was telling me to take a chance. I did, and now it has made me a better christian and person. I learn from mistakes I make. And this was one of the biggest one I've made. I'll never forget what I thought he was, but I will forget about the person he is. I am better off and HE has an amazing future planned for me.

"If gods the game that your playing, Well we must get more acquainted, because it has to be so lonely to be the only one that's holy. its just my humble opinion but it's one that I believe in. You don't deserve a point of view if the only thing you see is you." Playing God by paramore.

i was in the dark, then HE showed me the light. :)

i apologize ahead of time if this bothers anyone. these are just my thoughts and my opinions. my blog, i will choose to write what i think.

i love you all, my followers. :)
have a wonderful week! God is Amazing.
