Finished with Summer Semester.

Whelp the semester is over, FINALLY. Since the Wedding I have only had about 2 weeks off. Try to juggle summer school, being a Wife, cleaning a house, learning how to cook (not a pro yet, but I am finding out that I really enjoy cooking), and so much more that comes with 180 degree life change. I have realized that I really haven't stopped. I have about 2 1/5 weeks to breathe (KINDA) and start school all over again. UGH.. I am going to take 5, yeah you heard me, 5 classes this semester along with a internship that I am going to be going to twice a week. SOO, needless to say, I am going to be a busy women! BUT, I know that God is right next to me, and he isn't going to be me more than I can't handle and that is what calms me.

On top of all of this, my sweet husband is starting back to work with a heavy load. IT IS FOOTBALL SEASON. I don't like football at all, and I really don't like it because since my husband is a Athletic Trainer that mean he will be VERY VERY VERY busy. SO, with this said, I have been very spoiled being able to see him a lot this summer because there isn't really any sports going on just camps here and there and other small stuff. When it hit middle of August we are going to have to be very creative with out time to see one another. So with all of this said, I know that the Lord has a plan for us. I just pray that he make this whole Football/Basketball/Baseball/ and all of sports that are time consuming go by fast!! :)

Even though there is a lot of stuff going on in OUR lives, I know that I wouldn't have it any other way because God knows our (Ryan and I) and know that we can do anything we set out minds to. He is one awesome Father, and I am truly bless with a husband that loves the Lord too.

I just pray that August 17th gets here REALLY slow! :)
Love all of you that read my blog. I just hope God is blessing you like he is with us! :)
Have a wonderful Thursday!!

My Ah-Ha!

How can you not be blessed with this lyrics?

You thought of us before the
world began to breathe
And you knew our names before we came to be
You saw the very day we'd fall away from you
And how desperately we need to be redeemed

Lord
Jesus come lead us
We're desperate for your touch

Oh Great and Mighty One, with one desire we come
That you would reign, that you would reign in us
We're offering up our lives, a living sacrifice
That you would reign, that you would reign in us

Spirit of the Living God fall fresh again
Come search our hearts and purify our lives
We need your perfect
love
We need your discipline

We're lost unless you guide us with your light

Lord Jesus come lead us
We're desperate for your touch


We cry out
For your love to refine us cry out
For your love to define us cry out
For your mercy to keep us
blameless until you return


You would reign in us

So reign, please reign in us
Come purify our hearts we need your touch
Come cleanse us like a
flood and send us out
So the world may know you reign, you reign in us


This song is called "Reign in Us" by Starfield. I just love the words of this song.

My husband is taking a theological class with my pastor at church, and I have been asking him what he has learned. From the conversations with my husband, I have learned (and of course I have always known this, but it just really struck me hard this time) that there is so much to God's Word that is so hard for me to comprehend, but God is JUST GOD. He just is! I have come to realization that I am not going to know everything about Him, but I can try my hardest to. I know I have to know that in the end, he is my Lord and Savior. I am so blessed that God choose me to be a child of God. I just can't thank God enough for allowing me to be apart of His Kingdom. He didn't have to choose me. I am just as much of a sinner as the next one, but He doesn't care. He just wants me to follow him!! Man THAT IS SO COOL, don't you agree?!?!?

Hope you can see how amazing God is just as much as I do!

My Major.

Summer semester over next Tuesday! PRAISE JESUS!!

The real reason for writing this blog today is because I just want to comment on how much I love my major, Human Service: Case Management. Yeah it is a tough major, but I truly believe that that is where God wants me to be. I have learned so much about who I am as a person. The classes that I am taking are challenging in all sorts of ways ,and showing me that I want to help people in any way that I can.

This fall semester, in three weeks, I am going to do an internship with a non-profit organization call Advocates for Children in Cartersville, GA. I am praying that God uses me to glorify him while I work there. I can't wait until I start. I am so pumped!!

Have a great day ya'll! I am going to the Lake! :) Sun here I come . . .

Understanding What God Wants.

I have been asking and asking and asking to God, "What do you want of me?" I don't know what he wants. I am still listening. I am still waiting.

He has blessed me with the most wonderful husband, a roof over my head, food on the table, and so much more stuff that I really don't need. I just can't thank God enough, but I feel like I am not giving him anything back. I am not doing what he has called me to do. I have been blessed with so much that I have gotten so overwhelmed with all of that, and have forgotten what He has called me to do. So, I need to straighten up and get on board with Him. I need to be the person he wants me to be!

So please pray for me. Pray that God shows me my place here on earth. That he shows me what He wants of me. That He shows me that I CAN make a difference in this world!
