Thanksgiving

I just wanted to take the time to wish you all such a Happy Thanksgiving, and to also give the glory, honor, and thanks to my Lord Jesus for all that He has done and given me. I would never be here today if it weren't for Him. 

Thank you so much precious Jesus. 

I trust you all had a splendid holiday day. I certainly have enjoyed this break today from school and everything. As much as I dread starting up studying and everything again tomorrow, I commit it to the Lord and dedicate it to Him. He will give me the strength I need, and very soon we will all be on the other side enjoying the peace, rest, and fellowship awaiting us. 

God bless all and have a wonderful rest of your weekend :)

Blaaaah!

Hi. Remember me? I'm the person that owns this blog page. Yea its been a while! 

I don't really have any excited updates other than I gave a horse the weirdest shot in my life...and I saw the biggest chinchilla ever that bit my poor professors stub and made him bleed. (lost his hand in a farming accident but is the best veterinarian I have ever met. He even does surgery with this special thing he wheres on his arm, and when he bends the wrist part, the hook opens, and when he releases it closes! So cool!)

So anyways, I really just wanted to update to let you all know that it might be long bouts before I get back in here. I am slammed with work from school and I feel like my face is melting right as we speak lol 

If you could all keep me in your prayers, I have a ton to get done and have less time than would be preferred. 

But as a friend keeps telling me..."The footsteps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way." Psalms 37:23

God bless friends!

:) (p.s. how I would love to escape to where ever that is!)

Hebrews 4:16

This week was one of those weeks where everything seemed to fly at you and smack you in the forehead at once. And so many times throughout the week you want to sit down and cry but oh wait! You don't have time because you need to do this or someone knocks on your door right when the first tear reaches the corner of your eye. 

Then just as you feel like you have a hold on everything, BAM! something really big hits and makes you crack. You don't care where you are or who is around...you just sit down and cry feeling so defeated...crying out to God for help. You know you have to completely let go, and goodness do you ever want to, but for some reason your stubborn flesh keeps holding on for dear life. 

 So you push through your day, trying to keep your mind off of things...looking for something to help you get through, praying all the while, crying to God waiting for something to happen, but it never does. You wonder why God isn't hearing you and why He isn't sending in some back up. So finally you give up...

 Then all of a sudden, a friend sends a kind text, or you happen to be on Twitter and someone posts a scripture. Like Hebrews 4:16 for example.

"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."

Sometimes I could just kick myself for being so stubborn. Why is it so hard for us to just let go and let God take over. Even as much as we want to, but it never happens. Oh Lord, teach me to be still and let you take over all the things that seem to be pulling me under, leaving me gasping for air. 

2 Chronicles 16:9 "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him."
