13 years old!

Thirteen years of age and I have already done so much that will stick with me forever! I was a family group leader at camp this last week and I completely loved it! Getting to see 6th and 5th graders be so happy about nailing a memory verse. Or getting all of their devotion done before the bell rang.

On Monday night my dad came up to me and asked me if I would do camp fire! Totally freaking out after the words "sure" came out of my mouth!!! But he and God gave me the strength to get through it. After camp fire on Wednesday I can remember being very dizzy and not recalling everything that I said a few seconds before! But the support that I got made me feel like I did an amazing job!

Then during free rec on Wednesday Dallys came up to me and asked if I would baptiz her on Thursday. Of course I wouldn't say no. But, again I became nervous. Thankfully God gave me the strength to get through that even though I may have kinda dropped her:)

I truly believe that God wanted me to do all those things! It wasn't even my week of camp and he was sure enough laying things on my heart. God works in many powerful and different ways, so I have learned over the past couple weeks!

Philippians 4:13- I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength!

Agreeing with Art

Ahhh to enjoy the moments of being with the family is the Best times of memories!

I will cherish them forever.

Never regret them and for that I will sing Praises to the King!

I Love my Family very very very much.

Thank you Lord for the family our family holds dear

in times of the scheme of it all;

I still agree with Art Williams,

"Life is but a flicker"

and it is,therefore I will cherish the flicker; really called the flame of my heart strings.

making a smile

The girls are growing so fast. They continue to make me smile during their walk. I miss the one's who are away at camp and the time with the talks, laughs and being quiet with home is so out of the ordinary.

Ten sweet hands and feet. Pitter patter quickly on. It is with joy that we are blessed beyond Measure. All to keep teaching me through the wonderful personalities of how awesome our God is to be so intentional with his design of creating us in His image yet the way we are unique created individually like no other individual. Their mannerisms and other DNA show amazing similarities to the connection of family. It brings a smile to my face. The other parts of them to be their own which makes them them: PRESH!!!

I miss the laughter lately but it will soon be here with tight and warm hugs! I love them so very much awaiting a sweet, sweet reunion.

Love - ya princesses!

But a flicker

"Daggum, Life is but a flicker" A. Williams

That is so true. As time slips by it is realized how amazing it is that there is some incredible stretching moments in life that give appreciation. If it wasn't for the ominous moments as well as the reality check, that my heart is thankful daily for the lessons that keep being eye awaking. There is so much to be grateful for. It is with deep gratitude that freedom has bestowed upon me to make the best of every opportunity; when it is sweet and when it is bitter. I will praise and worship the only One there is to worship.

"It is never as difficult as it seems." A Williams

Again I agree. Growing up through life there has been many great moments, rough moments, and what seemed unbearable times, however recently it is showing me there is still such much left to give and keep giving through the perseverance and the climb.

Today is a new day. A fresh start. A New beginning. This is the day to live with him and move forward with appreciation for every lesson that life has to offer. So it's time to keep growing and giving like He gives to me daily. No matter what, I will press on and forward to walk in and cling to the one who never leaves me. Thank You Abba!

Jeremiah 33:3 has been getting me through so much over the past few years. So for that I will continue to cling and grow.

While I know that you are reading this; know that I am seriously praying for YOU TO BE BLESSED! Truly - I am because I DO CARE, STILL.

What is a thought?

The casted vision to see when no one else sees

focus that becomes blurred

joys of the moment in the storm(s)

ability to strive when it is lonely

the blow that takes the breath completely out of you

release of walking when left lying abandoned

assumptions un-calculated

still an abounding love when crushed

love precedes, presence, and proceed

pick up the momentum

move forward

The thought of today's proverb:

"

questionable

quiet

quick release

resolve

restitution

remedy

peace indescribable

heavenly guiding

be still

persevere

The thought of today's Proverb:

"The King's heart is in the hand of the Lord;

he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases.

All a man's ways seem right to him, but the Lord weighs the heart.

To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are sin!

The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.

A fortune made by a lying tongue is fleeting vapor and a deadly snare.

The violence of the wicked will drag them away, for they refuse to do what is right.

The way of the guilty is devious, but the conduct of the innocent is upright.

Better to live on a corner of the roof than to share a house with a quarrelsome wife.

The wicked man craves evil;His neighbor gets no mercy from him.

When a mocker is punished, the simple gain wisdom;

when a wise man is instructed, he gets knowledge.

The Righteous One takes note of the house of the wicked and brings the wicked to ruin.

If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered.

A gift in secret soothes anger, and a bribe concealed in the cloak pacifies great wrath.

When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers. A man who strays from the path of understanding comes to rest in the company of the dead.

He who loves pleasure will become poor; whoever loves wine and oil will never be rich.

The wicked become a ransom for the righteous, and the unfaithful for the upright.

Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and ill-tempered wife.

In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has.

He who pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor. A wise man attacks the city of the mighty and pulls down the stronghold in which they trust.

He guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from calamity. The proud and arrogant man -"Mocker" is his name; he behaves with overweening pride.

The sluggard's craving will be the death of him, because his hands refuse to work. All day long he cares for more, but the righteous give without sparing.

The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable - how much more so when brought with evil intent!

A false witness will perish, and whoever listens to home will be destroyed forever.

A wicked man puts up a bold front, but an upright man gives thought to his ways.

There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord.

The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the Lord." 21:1-31
