I will be gone for a week from blog world, I have SOOOOOOOOO much homework to get done, especially papers. If you could just pray for time managment and to keep giving my stress to God that would be great. This is how I feel :( But over the weekend I celebrated my birthday with Kassie. We went to a hotel in St. Cloud and it was soo much fun. Below are some pictures from our time there. Birthdays are just so fun! our room, it was 2 rooms in one hotel room I hope that makes sense?; the bed was in the other room.

So, A quick short post today about a verse I read in Revelation. 11 "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, because you made all things. Everything existed and was made, because you wanted it." Revelation 4:11 The last part just made me feel so good inside, and granted I am a girl so we are more emotional but its awesome think about. God made everything, because he wanted it, including us. See the thing about Revelation is , I have never taken the time to read it because i always thought it was such a confusing book. But Kassie and I are going through it together as a mini Bible Study and I am starting to learn a lot. Me and Kassie :) This verse just sunk in, because I have heard it many times that God loves us and made us but this time it really sunk in, He wanted us here. Ok I just really needed to share this thought... have a good tuesday night P.S. I miss this trip ( th

13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. Ephesians 6:13-18 I am back blogging as consistently as I can thanks to a talk with Steph. So this was a passage that was in my devotions today. And the thing is I have heard this passage many times before but I never took the time to focus on what

This is me happy with my Bible. Even though my college hasn't had internet for a month, and I still have 2 weeks till Spring Break and its been a tough first year of college but I have decided to be happy despite all those things. Why? Because I have got Jesus and He gives me the strength to get back up again. So I met with my R.A. today to talk and she really encouraged me because I did for a while question why I had such a tough year and you know what she said??? She said because God knew you could handle it. And he is going to use this stuff make me stronger and that just really encouraged me .

I am stronger because of all this and I am going to rely on God through it all. The song that has really applied to my season of trust is Stronger by Mandisa. The chorus says it all When t
