thunderstorms

I LOVE thunderstorms, and there is an epic one currently taking place.

I used to be scared of them, so why do I love thunderstorms so much? Because now I see them as one of THE most epic ways we can see God's power and creativity. SO awesome.

And now I am turning off all of the lights in my apartment and sitting by my window so I can thoroughly enjoy the beauty of it all :)

Happy

Well friends-summer has overtaken my blogging but I thought tonight I'd share a little post (if anyone still reads this that is).

I'm loving life and feeling great! And for most of you, you know that these are not words that have come out of my mouth for about...a year. There's so much I could blubber on about all of that, but for now I just want to say thanks to everyone who's been there for me this year-Lord knows I haven't been the most pleasant at times.

I'm also preparing myself to bird-sit and house-sit for 3 weeks in July...should be an adventure!! That's all for now :)

grateful

Today I'm grateful for friends who ask questions and truly care about what's going on in your life. I'm grateful for chair races through the warehouse when people are antsy at work. I'm grateful for new friend requests on facebook. I'm grateful for messages from people letting me know they're thinking of me. I'm grateful to be a child of my Heavenly Father. What are you grateful for today?

Who would've thought...

I never thought I would ever say this, but sometimes I wish I lived closer to my family. I love them dearly, but I always wanted to go somewhere far away. Now that I live only 4 hours away, I find myself being homesick and wanting to go back as much as possible. Only 2 more days...

I'll never give up.

Though it seems like I am a failed blogger, I will keep on trying to update you all on my life via blog...later. Hope you're enjoying summer :)

the lady's a genius!

Well folks, she did it! I couldn't be more proud of my mother. After years of time and energy, my mom is now a Doctor of Nursing Practice. Congratulations Mom!!!

fighting for hope

I just listened to a great sermon on Psalm 42 that I would encourage you to take the time to listen to it. Check it out...
