Time

Well time seems to be running out fast till I start the internship program at my church. I cant believe I only have 4 days left till I start. Funny how sometimes we wish time would slow down to enjoy the moments, but all it seems to do is speed up, but when we want time to speed up to see what is going to happen next, like turning to the next page of a book, wanting and craving to find out whats going to happen next, but all we get is time slowing down, taking its sweet time to show us something we need to see. Funny how God shows us what we need to see, through something so big as time. Timing seems to be amazing and has always been perfect in our lives. I look back upon my life and I laugh and see what I wanted to do but seeing how God worked it out makes me realize everything he did in my life was perfect timing and I couldn't have asked for it to be anything better, since it is Gods perfect timing. It makes me laugh how in the moment we say that God this needs to be right now and if it doesnt happen right now, we are in so much trouble. Then God brings whatever we need and then looking back we say God knows best and God brought it in his perfect timing.

 I often wonder if the internship will go by fast or slow. Will there be times where God will slow down time and show me something that he wants me to see. Will there be times were God, may speed up just a little to show us something on the other side to help us grow.

 All I have to say is Im really excited but really nervous to see what God will do in my life this coming year :)

 Wish me Luck

Last Week before the Starting of a New Life!

So this is my last week before starting the internship, I'm starting to get really excited but really nervous too. As I sit here and relax, my mind continues to sit here and wander, thinking of what lies ahead of me, what Jesus has to teach me, as I will be constantly learning from him and the leader around me, as well as growing more in the Lord. Even though my life is completely in the Lords hands, its still hard not to wonder what he has planned for my life and whats in store for my future! I've talked with so many people about God, and how they learned to trust him, but even in the most difficult situation its hard to believe that God has this set plan for our lives and he will guide us through all the horrible situations. If there is one thing that I have learned its that even when I'm walking through the most horrible storms, God is always right there beside me, holding my hand and guiding us through it all. I know that throughout the internship, I will learn that trusting the Lord is the only thing I will have, even when the times get tough he will be guiding me and be standing right there beside me.

As much as I think about what God has planned for me and my future, I know that I will learn as I go and that God is the only one who knows what is planned, for my life. So I do my best to sit here and to enjoy the week that I have with my family. I t was really a great day today. We went swimming, sun bathing, took a short nap, watch a movie and went on a boat ride. Id definitely have to say that I'm in paradise and I love it!

Well thats all I have for now!

 Love you guys!

Still packing! :)

Well, I'm 2 weeks from starting the internship and 3 and half weeks from moving into the intern house. I'm still very excited for this new adventure that is going to be coming my way and a new start to another part of my life, but I am also very nervous. I often wonder if the things that have happened in my life, have helped me to where i am today, prepared me for the future of my life. I was once told that you cant look to the future, if you don't have a handle on what is happening in the moment, But do we ever have a handle on what's going on right now? I don't think we do, were only human, only God knows whats going to happen in our life. He has a perfect set plan for all of us, and its our choice weather we choose to follow in his perfect will, or his second plan for us. God knows whats going to happen before we even get into the situation. Ive often dreamed, like other girls my age of what my future will be like, who my husband will be, if i will have kids, if  Ill be as great of a mother as my mother was to me, but I know that God will take care of me, he has provided this far. My trust is all in the Lord. While at Camp, we were told that we had to embrace our place. For the longest time, I was mad at God, for putting me in the situations that he has put me in, wondering why. Why God did you let this happen? Why am I the one going through it? Looking back now, I know why, I know that I was put through it for a purpose, for a reason, to help people, to encourage people. I think it will be the same way with the Internship, Ill often wonder why I'm being put in the situations that are yet to come, Ill get upset with God, and myself, and my co workers, but once I'm done, I will look back and say I now know why that situation happened. I will grow, I will stretch, I will be challenged, but in the end I will know more about not only who I am in me, but who I am in Christ. I believe that after the internship, I will know my purpose of being on this earth. What God wants me to do in this life, weather it is to be a missionary, a Bible Teacher, or a Sharks Biologist. At the end I will know, I will think of the moment that I am and wait for what God has to say, for my future. 

That's my little update for now.

 Love always and many Blessings.

The start of the move! Day 1 of Packing!





So Ive started packing and my room looks like a bomb has exploded as you can see above!, from coming back from camp and having to do 3 loads of laundry and starting to pack and organize for me to move into the intern house on August 15th, and for packing a suitcase so I can go to my moms for a week and a half, my room is very unorganized! My feelings are for sure quite nervous about moving once again, which is really weird since, Ive moved a lot through out my life, but to be in with all girls and having to be with these girls 24/7 makes me a little nervous. Its for sure something that I have never done before! I'm also very excited and ready to be used, stretched and grow in God. I'm excited to learn more about the people that I will be working with and the people who attend our church! So there is all these emotions running through me but I know that God, will always watch out for me and help through my rough and easy  situations. After all, My God is Greater, My God is Stronger, My God is higher than any other! He is with me in everything that I do and every where I go!

Well that's all for now, just keeping you guys updated!

Days before the Internship

Well first off! Welcome to my friends and Family to my Blog, My goal is to have this (in some sort of way) to replace Facebook for me, so that everyone can see what I'm doing, I will post pictures, and Write thoughts, and things that we will do within the internship. I hope that this will keep you guys updated besides emailing, calling, texting, skyping or MSNing.


Love you All!
