Even so...it is well with my soul



I took this picture a few days ago...the weather was amazing. And now that it's getting warmer...it's so nice to just lay on the beach. I love it!!

Well, I still haven't found a job and it's getting really hard to do anything now. Plus I need to buy my book for class and I don't even have enough money for that. I know that God is trying to teach me something but it's getting really frustrating. Please keep praying that God will provide a job for me when ya'll read this.


"He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered;the Lord is gracious and merciful. He provides food for those who fear him;he remembers his covenant forever. " Psalm 111:4-5

"Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast you save, O Lord." Psalm 36: 5-6

"As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain your mercy from me; your steadfast love and your faithfulness will ever preserve me!" Psalm 40:11

An old favorite...and a few new ones

I ran across my old Kelly Clarkson playlist and I've been listening to it today. It brings back some great memories. Plus her new song is fantastic!!

A new favorite of mine is the organic tazo chai tea...mmmm....it's so good! Especially since it's been so cold outside! Yes, it's still FREEZING! I really hope that it'll warm up soon...I'm craving to lay out! :)

I love going to the Inlet and walking on the boardwalks and down by the ocean. The waves are amazing and there are always plenty of surfers! ;)

So I have given this whole finding a job thing over to God. He knows where I will be working and I am practicing having patience while I wait to hear back from someone. It's hard because my bank account isn't liking this whole no job thing. (haha) But God will provide...and in His timing! I'm leaning on Him and trusting that I will find one soon!

So I am getting ready to go home for my brothers last homecoming game ever! He is a senior this year and they are honoring him for all his hard work and contribution to the basketball team. He is captain this year too!! I am so proud of him!

Thanks for your prayers and for encouraging me through this time! I love you guys!

Love&Peace,
Me

So I'm not a total beach bum yet...

I'm sorry that I haven't been up-dating as faithfully as I have wanted to. I've been going a lot lately and it's been nice, but I'm glad to be back home for a few days before I leave again.

I got everything fixed with my classes and everything is paid for! Now that my bank account is completely drained (ugh...) I need to find a way to start saving money so that I can save for my summer classes! I've been looking for a job and I've filled out applications to a few places, so we will see what God has for me.

If ya'll think of me...please be praying that God brings along a job!! And soon!! : )

I want to share with ya'll what's been going on at church the past few Sunday's but I don't have time tonight. So maybe if I get to it tomorrow I will fill ya'll in!

Love&Peace,
Me

Be blessed...Be loved...Be lifted high

Just a quick post!

I really love it here...I think that once I start up with school and find a job that things will feel more real here.
I'm going home on Tuesday to get a few things done and pick up my last paycheck at PacSun...I'm really going to miss working there! : (

And I've fallen in love AGAIN with "Knees To The Earth"...it's one of my new favorite songs!! (again! lol)

I hope everyone had a splended weekend!!

Oh, and Timmy is staying at UF for another year!! Can we say possibly another national championship? We'll see thought...my Tigers are supposed to do pretty well this coming year!! : )

Well...more soon!
Love&Peace,
Me

What happens...

...when you think God led you to a place but might be leading you somewhere else? This has been a thought that has been going through my head for the past couple days. You start down a path and then you start doing things that have an effect on your future and you realize that this might not be what God wants you to do.

I am walking through this now...and I have no idea what to do! (this has nothing to do with me moving, btw :] )
I went to the beach today...just me and my Bible. I cried out to God for wisdom because I have no idea what to do! I would ask that ya'll be praying for me. That God would give me wisdom in knowing what to do and that He would open doors and direct me in His will. Because that's all I want...is His will for my life.

I love you all so much and I am so grateful that I have amazing friends that I know are praying for me, because I pray for all of you all the time!

Love&Peace,
Me

I'm here!! =)

I am an official Ponce Inlet resident!!

I got here around 1pm and un-loaded all my stuff and then said a very tearful goodbye to my family. =(
Nicole and I sat around and talked for a while because I did not want to un-pack right away. Then we went to the Merwins house for a party and hung out with everyone there! It was a lot of fun! Colie and I left early because we had errands to run and I still needed to unpack.

So here I sit...on my new bed...in my new room...in my new house...in my new town. I know it's going to be really weird getting used to actually being here. Right now it feels like I'm on vacation...but I'm sure once school starts and I get a job that it will all start to hit me.

I am so looking forward to see what God has in store for me this year. I would ask that ya'll be praying for me that I am able to find a few jobs and that school will go well for me. And that I am able to get adjusted living here.

Love&Peace,
Me
