I've realized that I haven't written in a while and I know its already Wednesday but I'm just going to share my weekend in pictures. Hope that's ok. Thursday was shopping day. Melodie and I went to Rosedale mall to go shopping and I must say I was super excited because not only did I get to hang with melodie whom I haven't seen in a LONG time but I also found some good deals. ( Btw that dress I didnt get but I liked it alot.)
Saturday- This is Kassie. It was her 18th birthday on Saturday so she went to get her nose pierced. And she invited me to go with. She went to St. Sabrinas in uptown.
Sunday- It was fourth of july. We went out to Delano for the parade and a barbecue. Unfortnatley I didn't get any picture because I forgot my camera but I did get pictures later that night when we did fireworks with my neighbors. I'm on the left, then its my neighbor Lola and my sister Abbey on the right.

Monday- my sisters and my parents and I drove out to Taylor Falls where we went on alpine slides at Wild Mountain.
Hope you guys are having a good Wednesday. I'm off to go play softball and tomorrow or Friday I'll be back to talk about talk about some stuff I've been learning from this book I've been reading.
This song is so good and convicting. Its Keep changing the World by Mikeschair Lyrics: Something here is wrong There are children without homes But we just move along to take care of our own There's so much suffering just outside our door A cry so deafening We just can't ignore To all the people who are fighting for the broken All the people who keep holding on to love All the people who are reaching for the lonely Keep changing the world Take a look around Before the sun goes out What's lost can still be found It's not too late now It only takes one spark to make the fire burn So reach inside your heart and let this be the start Chorus I know you see the suffering How they gone recover when people just look over like they don't even notice them Everyone whose focusing on ending all this hopelessness You can change the world by changing who the world is hoping in I see the sun coming up It's a brighter day Let's show the world that love is a better way So le...
If you read the title and started to break out in song... then YAY I did my job. I get emails from one of my favorite authors every Wednesday. Her blog is called Coffee for the heart and her name is Holley Gerth. Every Wednesday God uses her to speak directly to my heart. She shared her an excerpt from new book set to release in October and the first line caught my eye. Yesterday I had a tough day at work and sometimes it feels like I am not cut out to do my job well. I was feeling like life was beating me up and I was SOO ready to throw in the towel. Then I read the first line of her excerpt and it was like God ignited a fire in my soul.

As everyone knows Christmas is coming up and i am one of the people who the day after thanksgiving pulled out the Christmas music because I love Christmas. And at times during the Christmas season I would become greedy and think about what presents and wonder what other people got me but those were the times when I had to step back and remember Jesus is the reason for the season. Without him we wouldn't be able to live because like Romans 6:23 says " For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. And so today I just want to share one of my new favorite christmas songs. Its called Sweet Little Jesus boy by Rebecca St. James. This song helped me see that I need to be thankful that I know Jesus as my Lord .
