Hope.

My mom has a devotional book called "Jesus Lives" and I will read it whenever I see it lying around. The author writes these amazing devotionals that have so much truth in them. They are like little letters from God full of truth and hope...and a letter that makes you smile :-)

It seems like every one I read, it gets to the heart of what I am going through...

This one is entitled, "Hope."

"Though difficulties abound in this world, rejoice that I am ever present with you. I can enable you to cope with any and all circumstances, strengthening you as you look trustingly in Me. No matter how hopeless your situation may seem, I assure you that all things are possible with me.

I am the Truth, and therefore I am true to all My promises. They provide a rock-solid foundation on which you can live and move and have your being. Since I am the living Word, affirming your trust in My promises is a excellent way to draw near Me. As you bask in the beauty of My Presence, you may find yourself wanting to praise Me. Do not restrain that holy impulse; instead give it voice. While you are worshipping Me, new hope will grow within you. Hope in Me, for you will again praise Me for the help of My Presence."

It's important to remain hopeful in hard times. We must remember we have God's promises to lean on; He never fails us.

The little letters from God. Always uplifting and always good.

My life after May 29th.

In the midst of figuring out "what I am supposed to do with my life", I cannot help but have fun throughout this process. Here's what I have been up to since I grabbed my diploma and ran...


I moved out of my house, although I really wasn't happy about it.

I lived out of my car.

I taught a four year old VBS class.

I enjoyed 4th of July on a boat. With my flippy floppys.

I participated in Cousin Cooking Class every Tuesday night. Go CCC.
I got to work at Camp Timberline in Colorado for 5 weeks.

I was a bridesmaid in my beautiful cousin's wedding. She is now a married woman.

I spent a long weekend at the lake.

I got to see my best friends from high school for a whole weekend.

I sent sister off to her junior year of high school. How the time flies.

Next part of life is coming soon....
