My sister Amelia took these photos. They are just GORGEOUS and very professional. I'm so proud, I def think she should turn it into something :)

A Treasure in a Hidden Place

Today showed me a great release of prayer and conversation between us-just me and my God. It was amazing! For Him I cry without sadness, I kneel without judgement, and I read without distraction. I've heard so many songs that describe my spiritual life right now, that I can't start to list because there's so many. Well, I came across this old Bible in the hall chapel. The cover was worn around the edges. The date: 1989. But the pages. Like new, but with so many markings. It was beautiful beyond words. Such a treasure was placed in a public area, and I found such joy absorbing it all.

Today ended awesome

So...biggest news!

First

My cousin is engaged and I'm so happy and excited for the two of them. They're love for each other and love for God is so amazing it shows brightly. I am so happy for them :)

Second

My friend Jeremy got a new job! Praising God for keeping him protected financially for the few weeks in between where he was job less. 

Third

There are nice guys in the world who aren't jerks and who are actually kind (and funny I might add)

Fourth

I got an A+ on my economics paper. I think I'm dreaming because I was really struggling in this class and haven't seen an A (let alone an A+) on a paper for awhile. 

Fifth

My Aunt and her family are so nice and such a blessing to me. She has a room prepared for me at her house while I do my observation at the elementary school next month. She's also a terrific listener, role model, and laughing friend. 

Sixth (You can tell these are getting out of order because I'm just so happy right now!)

I have awesome friends who create chalk pictures on the sidewalk with me. Like this one 

Seven

My aunt cut my hair for me. Isn't is cute? I love it! 

Beauty of life

Just a simple night

Colors of His Love

3/29/12 God, You are so amazing. The love You give me, I am so blessed. I complain so much about my life, but God, You show me the little things in life that really matter. Today, I heard a girl laugh over a roll of tape that had fallen over. I got invited by a girl I've never met before to have my nails painted 3 different colors. Thank-You God for the carefree time I could share with this little girl, and for her willingness to let me into her life so simply. Thank-You God for the color in my heart, and on my nails. And when she asked me, "Who takes care of you?" You showed me the real answer. Thank-you for baby smiles, and little children worshiping. For the games of catch with the older kids, for the love of a sister to her baby brother, and for the love of a mentor.

UGH!

Okay, rant. Why are people so self-centered? I'm so tired of hearing about how everyone HAS to have the latest iphone, the best mac, the most expensive clothes. Life is not about material things and it ticks me off so much! There are people who would kill to have a pair of sneakers or a piece of bread and they complain about typing into a phone. REALLY? I actually heard someone say that they would sponsor a Compassion International Child if they didn't love shoes. Is a child's life and salvation worth less than a few pairs of shoes? I'm actually glad that I grew up going without "the latest". My parents taught me how to value money-how to save and how to give. I would rather spend my whole life wishing for things I'll never have than have everything and wish for more. khjfkdkjwefkh,djsfhiwkrhjieuwahrjfuwirhdniauekfhiw3urhjfrieughfkl4jt3ewd. Yeah, take that all you  fake rich people.
