I want the weekend to last forever..... or at least longer. I want more time to relax, spend with friends or family. I want to be back at Kassie's surprise party. I want more time reading my Bible this weekend. I want more of that ice cream from "Grandpa's in Fridley haha ( coffee and cookies) I want to be able to go walking more with my sisters and mom. I want more time outside. Thanks for reading about my weekend :)

The past two weekends have been an adventure as I was able to travel to Iowa and then to Duluth this past weekend. The above picture is from my time in Iowa with my cousin Augie, April's son. He will be 5 in August. We got to out to lunch on Saturday, play at the park in the afternoon and then hang out at home Saturday night.  Overall it was a fun but also relaxing weekend. I was grateful to God that he provided my grandma and mom to ride with me. I am really just learning about faith right now in my walk with God. Faith involves believing in the unseen. God is showing me how life is more about the memories than the photos on snapchat, the money I make or the clothes I buy. I am trying to focus on being with my friends and family. Right now its easy to want to post the next best picture to show off your life but then forget that we are still people going through hard and good things. Life will never be perfect this side of heaven so thankful that Eternity is coming and Jesus i...

I thought I would write a post about things that I am thankful for because who doesn't love focusing on the blessings that God has provided! 1. Tomorrow is Saturday!!! My favorite day of the week! 2. I get to enjoy a bonfire with my parents tonight. 3. I get to sleep with the air condition on. 4. I am going to get brunch with my best friend tomorrow 5. I have a teaching job. 6. God shows me unconditional and steadfast love every day. 7. I get to run outside now that the weather is nice. 8. I joined a small group through my church 9. I moved into my new renovated apartment in a week. 10. My sister is finally home from Colorado!

You're moving mountains that I don't even see You've answered my prayer before I even speak All You need for me to be is still- Still by Hillary Scott " If you could describe what season spiritually you are in, what word would you use?" I love  asking this questions to my friends and family because everyone has a different answer. But along the way I think I have forgotten that I am transitioning out of one season and into another.  My word before was trust. I was trusting God to provide a new job for me, a 2 bedroom apartment, and a new relationship. I was experiencing so much growth in my relationship with others and with God. Then God provided a pre-k job for me at a new preschool right by my parent's house, and then a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment for me and my roommate and later on a new relationship. I was truly in a mountain top season. I could see all my blessings so easily.   Now I am in  a season of faith. There are days I would say ...

Time has finally come to say goodbye to living at Mallard. Its amazing how fast 12 months has gone by. Kassandra, Alexi and I moved into this apartment May 2016 and now our 12 month lease is up. Alexi and i will be moving to another apartment 2 bedroom and 2 bath :) on june 15th. This apartment is being so generous about renovating our unit and giving us new flooring and stainless steel appliances. In the meantime, I moved all my boxes of stuff back home today. You realize how much stuff you own when it comes time to move out. I am just trying to make the best of living out of boxes for 18 days. As you recall my sister took my room when I moved out last year so she could have her own room. I am crashing on an air mattress. Least I have to wear a uniform at my job so as long as I have those clothes out I think I will survive ;) I think reflecting is a good strategy to use when processing life events and so I thought I would list some memories I made at Mallard. The first weeken...

With tomorrow being Mother's day I wanted to do a post that was dedicated to my Mom and Grandma. I am so thankful that God has placed them in my life.   Dear Mom, thanks for always being there for me, praying for me, standing up for me, encouraging me, texting me have a good days. I love that we can go walking together, shopping together and I can look to you and dad to steer in the right direction back to God.   To my Grandma- thank you for raising my mom and her sisters by yourself. You show me what a strong, faithful, dependent woman in God looks like. I love that you bake sweet treats, knit me a blanket, go to breakfast with me, always have a Cadbury egg or apple cider at your house for me when i come over. You never complain about the hard things life throws at you,  and continue to show me through your love that God will always be my Great Provider and Sustainer.

YAY!!!So my MN friends are probably as happy as I am about this weather. Its been in the 70 the past 2 days and is supposed to stay that way!! I am very happy about this since I start my job as a pre-k teacher next week.  The kids will love being outside. The title of this post came from my morning devo Everyday in His Presence  by Charles Stanley. I high recommend it .  Earlier this week I was praying that God would reveal to me qualities of His character. Then my devotional was about obeying God and leaving the consequences to Him. Then it went on to talk about how to handle different issues that may arise, such as anxiety, conflict, hurting, forgiveness toward other and vindication and sin in others. Then each issue had a Bible verse to go with it. Then after this I was reading Psalm 33, my Psalm for the month and my eyes were open to all these qualities that God has such as his power, his ability to save, his sovereignty, his eternity and his faithfulness. God...
