Keep the fire burning in my heart!!

Church was wonderful today!! Pastor Brenda is great at keeping us focused, and every sermon speaks to me! After church Tanner cooked boudin for lunch.. Yummy!!!!

Then Tanner and I went golfing!! I really enjoy getting to go and watch him play!! I really like getting to spend that time with him, especially when we get to do something we both enjoy!!

After golf I went back to church.. All I can say is WOW!!!! Brennon was blessed, and got the hearing back in his left ear!! It was an amazing time and testimony from John Wakabi!!!!

Jobless Thursday

Well, I quit my job on Tuesday. I am oddly at peace about the fact that I have no form of income coming in. I have total faith that God will show me where I need to be. The last few days have been nicer than I would have ever imagined.. Especially the weather!!! Its just beautiful and peaceful outside. I love fall, and I'm so excited it is finally here!!!!

Tanner has been a wonderful, solid, and supportive rock through everything. I know, that if it wasn't for his support I would have already crumpled into a blubbering mess! I am overly blessed to have him in my life!!! Thank you Tanner, for loving me.. Especially when I need it the most!!!

Facebook Fast

Today I started the 7 day Facebook Fast that klove asked its listeners to participate in.. So far, it has been really easy, and nice to just disconnect.

I have some tough decisions ahead of me.. Mainly having to do with if I should stay at the ranch, or find other employment. So, say a quick prayer for me to find some clarity, if you don't mind! thanks!!

contemplations

ugh, I have a stomach bug.. and it really sucks!! however, it has given me ample time to look into my life, and evaluate a few things..

for example: I am not happy with my job. the dread I feel when it is time for work is not normal.. in the least! it has come to the point that my stomach bug was almost a welcome reprieve from the ranch. we are under staffed, over worked, and too drama filled to go into detail. but, this sums it up pretty well: I asked for a transfer to the other kitchen on campus, and my boss practically threw a hissy fit.. and my transfer has yet to be approved by him.. even after I offered to take a $1.30 an hour pay cut!! [please be praying for this to come to a speedy resolution]

besides work.. I have the best life a girl could ask for. no, I take that back.. its better than the best!! I have the most wonderful, and loving boyfriend [future husband] ever!!!! My family and friends are the greatest!! And last, but certainly no where near least, I have a wonderful God who sacrificed His son, so that I may have the chance to live eternally with Him in heaven!!!

So, I am blessed, more blessed than I feel I deserve, but I am taking the gifts God has given me. And letting the rest of it roll off my back! I give it all to You, Lord, for I know You have the strength when I am weak!!

this crazy thing [life]

Well, class is over. And while I try to decide which direction to take, i have a lot of things to be thankful for.

I have my health. My heart is back to normal, and i weigh more than I have in over a year!!!

 My education, I passed my class, and now I need to take my national certification.

 My family. This includes my new family.. Terri, James, Magen, Brennon, Braxton, and the future baby Bybee! I was blessed beyond measure when God brought them into my life. My wonderful parents and siblings have been nothing but awesome, even through hardships.

My love. Tanner, has been the best thing to happen in my life, since Reece was born 2 years ago. He is my rock. And on many occasions, I feel like he is my motivation and my sanity. I see my future when I look into his eyes, and that is more comforting than he will ever know.

My God. He has shown me so much in the past 2 months, i can only look forward to the things he will teach me in the future.

So, all I can say is that this crazy thing called life is working in my favor. And I am blessed more than I could have ever hoped for!

Happiness

I am happy. That actually doesn't begin to explain what i feel. I am ecstatic, and oh so so in love!! I have had the best month of my life, and i can't wait for more to come!!! I have the most AWESOME boyfriend ever!! Tanner already knows me so well, and even the thought of getting to see him today makes me giddy! I know all you naysayers out there are thinking its way to soon, but when you find your best friend, and your future.. you just know!

 
 Want to know a few of the things I love about Tanner... suure you do!!!

1. He has a passion for Christ that exceeds my own.. he will help me in my walk to God, and guide me in many ways.


2. He does little things for me. Alllll the time. Like fixing my ring because it is twisted. Or opening doors for me, and always being super sweet!!

3. He calls me the greatest things. babydoll (favorite) honey. babe. and soo many more!!

4. He is okay with me being my normal, goofy, slightly crazy self!


5. He is happy to just hang at home.. he doesn't feel the need to go to the bar every night. he is just like me.

6. Tanner came to see me (twice) when i was sick!! He just came, and laid in bed with me.. and talked to me. It made me feel much much better!!

I'm stopping at 6, because I don't want to go on and on and on and on and on!

 

School is not going so hot.. but I'm not that worried about it. I will either pass this class, or I wont. I have put all of my faith in Christ, and I know that if I don't pass this class I was meant for something else. And I will continue on my path to becoming a nurse.


Work. UGH. just ugh. I am sooo ready for something better. But part of being a responsible adult is staying at a job for the health care and other benefits!

Needless to say.. despite my heart, and other health problems.. I am Blessed beyond measure!!!!!!!!

Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, and patience, forbearing one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. Colossians 3: 12-14
