AFRICA And YL

Also, please pray for me as I attempt to raise a lot of money to go on a missions trip with my churh to Africa, and as I attempt to go on staff finally with Young Life. I am so ready to leave my dad's as a dental asst. Sadly, we do not have the best relationship and I do not exercise any of my gifts there. I hate that job to be quite frank! I feel God moving me forward with the Africa trip right now and it's scary but I am so ready to go there!!!! We will see.....

A New Treat

Horizon organic, low-fat, 1%, chocolate milk! A little bit of heaven as I attempt and lose some weight and start treating my body like the temple of God that it is! And on a side note, my Breaking Free bible Study ended last night and I am, sad, but ready to walk out in the truths that I learned. Help me, sweet Jesus! Lord knows I need it!

The Holidays

I love this time of year...it's my absolute favorite!!!! We finally experience the fall colors on our trees....it's cold outside...the lights on people's houses...the smell of fresh Christmas trees....Christmas trees period....Christmas candles illuminating...Chrismas music and movies all around...time off from everything...good food....presents...time with loved ones, etc. And best of all....our SAVIOR breaking the silence after so many years and coming to save us as a humble babe! And He came b/c He is GOOD and He is LOVE so His plan and will are strictly FOR US...Hallelujah! The only thing that I hate about this time of year is that I conveniently put on 10lbs and hate it! God help us all! :) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year bloggers!!!! Joy, Peace, Love, and Hope to all! He loves you so! He came for you!
Something to do with your tree this year....After you take it down, cut all the branches off and just take the trunk. Then cut it into a cross shape, tie the 2 pieces together and then keep it up as a cross until Easter to remind you that He came at Christmas so He could die for YOU on Easter! Amen!

Update on my baby!

My little man, my maltese, Linus is now 8 months old and still has my heart! I love him and all his cute little quirks so!!!! Here his mother had just messed up on his hair cut...oops! :) And below this is some pics of my Best Friend, Hanna's, new baby boy, Luke Aidan! I already love him so too! :) He is so cute!

And last of the Israel pics...

And more....

Israel

I recently returned from Jerusalem and it was AMAZING!!!! I know I have been away long but it's late and I'm tired so I'm not going to write and describe but rather post here what may seem like a lot of pics but are really only a few (compared to the 600 that I took) from the trip! We will all live there some day...AMEN! Happy Holidays!!!! :)
