Giving Thanks.

"...give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."   1Thessalonians 5:18

 The world would be so completely different if we gave thanks in ALL things... If we just try to be a little bit more thankful, maybe we could bring a bit more joy into our lives as well as others. It's in the Bible for a reason, right?

 Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

 

 Family, thanks for Skyping with me. I felt like I was home. :) 

I love you!!!

Psalm 15

Lord, who may dwell in your sanctuary?

Who may live on your holy hill?

He whose walk is blameless

and he who does what is righteous,

who speaks the truth from his heart

and has no slander on his tongue,

who does his neighbor no wrong

and casts no slur on his fellowman,

who despises a vile man

but honors those who fear the Lord,

who keeps his oath

even when it hurts,

who lends his money without usury

and does not accept a bribe against 

the innocent.

He who does these things will never be shaken.

Massive Fail.

As someone eloquently stated, "People Magazine made the biggest mistake in their entire magazine's history by picking Bradley Cooper as this year's “Sexiest Man Alive.” Words cannot express how massive of a failure this year's list is. I'm pretty sure everyone that picked it is BLIND."

A friend sent me this link and if you're like me and you "like" Ryan Gosling, you should take a look here if you want:

It's funny.

Here's a sneak peek:

Shallow? Maybe. But I would love to be his friend, soooo it can't be that shallow, right? ;) hahaha

T-Swift!

Taylor Swift says everything I want to say and better. Seriously, we have the same mind or something...

I know, cheeseball stuff. But let a girl be a girl. ;) haha

Veteran's Day

Thank you for what you did and are doing to protect us.

Thank you a million times over.

I pray for you.

When a Woman is Free…

From School… she dreams.

That’s me. I cannot wait until graduation on April 27^th, 2012!!! I cannot believe it will be here so soon…I mostly can’t believe how quickly it is coming because I see all of the work that needs to be done prior to that day, but you know what? It’ll get done. It always does. 

So, like I said…”she dreams.” I’ve been dreaming a lot about what I will do after graduation. I know for a fact that I want to take a break from school, from going straight into a job counseling full-time, and from normal things. I can do anything…ANYTHING…that I want (or what God wants).

So, please pray for direction in my life. I applied to work at a National Park this summer in a far away state. I may apply to other jobs like that. I want to be in nature…It's not that random...haha. This summer while in Yellowstone and at Glacier, I thought how awesome it would be to work at a place like that. You can see wildlife ALL the time. Plus, it feels like me.

Also, God has provided a few ideas/opportunities/thoughts for me to participate in some missions work. I haven’t looked into it as much as I have looked at the National Park options, BUT, I want to stay open-minded to what God wants.

Ultimately, I feel tired of making choices that aren’t God’s choices. I know that I need a break to take care of myself and figure out what life will be like without having homework, without being in school, and without being a counselor for a period of time. Our professors tell us that "Self-care" is extremely important. This is me taking care of myself. :)

So, please join me in prayer for this. I appreciate it and I will keep you updated. 

 Maybe I will get to see my favorite animal...?!?!!
