I Love Fall!

The other day I got to go on a hike with my friend Sundance, and I was in awe of the beauty. I absolutely love Fall! The trees were gorgeous, the scenery was pieceful, and the weather was perfect! I decided to post some pictures to remind myself just how beautiful Arkansas is and how creative God is. I hope they bring you a sense of peace and a reminder that God must care about us if He created such beauty for us to behold.

A Time to Dance

I have realized in the past few months that there definitley is a time for everything. I have entitled this time in my life as a time to dance. I have been so blessed with a fantastic job as a Kindergarten teacher at a great school. I love my students, and I look forward to seeing them each day. I have a great roommate and apartment that has become home to me. I am part of a church that is AMAZING, and I am co-leading a small group of singles which is wonderful in itself. God is also doing some major things in my family as well. It's so good to be able to look at my siblings and see how God is working in each one of them. My family is also due to see two new little ones in the next few months, and words cannot express how excited I am to meet my new niece and nephew. They are both going to be such blessings to our family. I know that my circumstances may not always be this good, and that is why I know this is one of those times in my life that is a time to dance. I will have times to cry, mourn, suffer, etc. But I will also have times to rejoice, laugh, sing, love, and like right now...DANCE. I dance before the Lord in my heart because HE IS GOOD! I am so amazed at His grace and mercy and just how much He absolutely LOVES HIS CHILDREN! I know that my life is in HIS HANDS, and I leave myself in His care. Who better to let lead me then the CREATOR OF MY ENTIRE BEING! I encourage you today to check yourself and see where God is in your life. Is He first? If not, I ask you to evaluate what is more important in your life and put God back in the place He should be...AT THE VERY CENTER OF YOUR LIFE. He is the reason we are here today, and He is the reason I live each day to the fullest and seek to know Him more.

I love you LORD! Help me love others with a love that comes from You. Thank you for this time in my life where I can dance before You! May I always strive to be Holy and dance before You no matter the circumstances of my life. I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! Amen.

Until next time...

New Apartment

I have a new place to call home! My friend Kelsey and I found a cute apartment here in Northewest Arkansas that we love. I've enjoyed having her for a roomie thus far, and I think we are going to get along great. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure. I still need to take pictures of my room. I'll post those later.

I have pictures! I got to spend most of today at Jen and Dan's house. Grace is doing great and everyone is getting adjusted. I can't believe she is already almost 3 weeks old. :) Gracie was so sweet and Sophie kept wanting to hold her. I tried to sit in a chair and let Sophie hold Gracie beside me, but she insisted on sitting in the chair by herself. So, mom helped support Gracie and Sophie sat in the chair and wrapped her cute little arms around Grace. I took several pictures. It was so cute. Sophie has a small problem with wanting to hold Grace a little too tight, but she's learning. What special times.

Sophie saying "cheese" to the camera.

Sophie giving Gracie kisses. She loves kissing her.

Sophie's famous sideways glance.

I love this picture! Sophie is giving Grace a big hug.

Me and my precious nieces. I love them both so much!

Until next time...

Home Sweet Home

Good News....

Gracie is home! I only got to see and hold her for like 5 minutes tonight, but it was worth it. Sophie was so good with her. When I sat down on the couch with Grace in my arms, Sophie came right to me and wanted to sit by me and be close to Grace. I have a feeling she was like that before I came and after I left. She is going to be a great big sister, just like her mama is to me. :) I'm hoping to be able to see them tomorrow sometime. Maybe then I will have pictures to post of Grace without tubes and wires on/in her. She is so beautiful, and I am so blessed to be her aunt. Praise the Lord for healing her and bringing her home safely to us.
