Matthew 6:25-34

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,
29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Lord, I pray that you will bring me a peace about these next two weeks. I pray that you will provide the sufficient funds that I need to make it though. I pray that I will not become anxious...worried...or freak out, but that I will wholly trust in what you have planned for me. Thank you for you provision so far during this season of my life. I'm so grateful for such a wonderful Father.
In Your Name - Amen

Pondering

A friend of mine recently made a comment to me that's been on my mind...

"You're so lucky. You're so independent."

Frankly...I don't try to be, but I just am. But I've been thinking...is it a bad thing that I am so independent?
I'm definately submissive...to my parents and other authorities in my life. I love hearing from my close friends ways that they see I might need to change...and I gratefully accept it!
But I love to do things on my own...my own way (with a few exceptions of course). I don't know...it's been on my mind so I thought that I would share.

Other random news...I am an official employee at Panera Bread! It's pretty fantastic to know that I have a job and that I will soon be very busy! Thanks so much for all of your prayers and encouragement! I know I say it in every post...but seriously, I'm so grateful!

Love&Peace,
Me

BTW...Starfield has some pretty fantastic songs! :)

All You Need Is Love

Happy Valentines Day!! : )

So I know that I haven't posted in a while...and I'm sorry. There hasn't been anything too exciting for me to post...so yeah. But I do have some very exciting news! I finally found a job!! God is sooo good isn't He? Oh, but it's at Panera Bread! I love, love, love that place and I'm so happy that they hired me. I love my bosses already...they are so nice and friendly and I know that I am going to love working for them.

It has been hard, just because I haven't had any cash flow at all and now I need to go buy work clothes...so this is going to be really interesting. But I know that if God provided me a job, that he will provide all the other things that I need. :)

Thank you so much everyone for praying for me and encouraging me through this time of my life. I have learned so much in this month that I've been away from home. God is so good to me, and he continues to show me areas in my life that I need to work on and need to be humble in.

Love&Peace,

Me

Here I am...

"Shout for joy to God, all the earth; sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise! Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies come gringing to you. All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name." ... Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard, who had kept our soul among the living and has not let our feet sleep. For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried. You brought us into the net; you laid a crushing burden on our backs; you let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance."
Psalm 66: 1-4, 8-12

I'm still praying...still seeking a job. But in all I'm seeking after God!

Thanks for your love...

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
