What are YOU thankful for?

  I'm so thankful for everything I have; my family, my friends (far and near, new and old), my house (that still has some branches of a tree on it), wonderful food, God's word, and sooo much more. The thing I am most thankful for is for my Saviour, Jesus Christ. He is so merciful and faithful. I'm thankful for his infinite and unfailing love, and his grace. He is always there for me, to guide and protect me. You can leave a comment and tell me something that you're thankful for...

A Woman of Character...

Ever since I was a little girl, I've dreamed of being a woman of grace, like the "Proverbs 31 woman." It's almost as if it's been instilled into me, because it's become a greater desire. I try my best, and sometimes I get dissapointed because I know that I did something wrong.  
Somethings, like honoring my husband, isn't completed yet, but even though he doesn't exist as my husband yet I still pray daily for him. I pray that he grows deeper with God everyday and that his heart is prepared to help me stand stronger with the Lord. 
I know the Lord is with me and that I will become the woman he wants me to be, even if it's not a perfect Proverbs 31 example; I'll still be a woman of character, molded by Gods characteristics! 

Hurricane Sandy..a true show of God's power!

     Long Island was hit hard by Hurricane Sandy. There wasn't much rain, but the wind alone caused a devastating amount of damage. I am so thankful that my immediate family only lost power for two days, but compared to others that was nothing. Our neighbors tree fell on his house and their was definitely structral damage. Trees still litter the streets along with downed telephone poles. Others lost all their belonging due to flood waters over 5 feet high. The sewers were flooded and are finally working again. Over 500,000 still don't have power, including some street lights. The newest problem is that gas stations are running out of gas, nd for the stations that still have, there are lines that go for miles. I never in my life dreamed of seeing such a sad sight. The local news is so devestating, that I can't watch it without sheading tears for some of the people. God showed his power during this storm and he's showing it in the cleanup efforts. Please keep praying, it will be a few weeks or even a few months, till eveything goes back to normal around here.

A Warrior's Heart

     I never really was interested in Lacrosse. I always loved going outside to shoot hoops or throw the ball or even kick the ball, all while attempting to keep the balls in our backyard. During the summer when we were younger me and my siblings were always outside playing sports. 

     I was watching some movie trailers, when I stumbled upon a movie called A Warrior's Heart. I looked at what it was about and I thought it wouldn't be that good, but it was really good. It's about a lacrosse player and...well maybe I shouldn't tell you what its about. You should find out for yourself. I recommend this movie to everyone (it's rated PG), it's a movie made for a family movie night.

God is with you ALWAYS.

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been busy with college classes. I just finished the first tests in almost all of my classes. Since its the first semester of my second year I started hospital clinicals. The first two classes we had a partner with us while we took care of our patient. This coming Wednesday we take care of our patient all by ourselves, which will make me a little nervous. 
Pray for me in this coming week and during the rest of the semester!
A new thing that I've started this year is that I put a bible verse on every notebook/binder for my classes. If i get nervous or intimidated with the amount of work (believe me its a a lot), I can always refer to those verses and then I never have to be afraid. 
In the bible God wrote "Do not fear.." 365  times, once for every day. I find that very encouraging and comforting. I'm so thankful that God is with us all the time and is mindful enough to tell us not to fear anything. God Bless all of you.

For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. (Isaiah 41:13)

Bless The Lord..

Our voices filled the empty building with such a sweet sound, a sound only made by those in total communion with God. We were singing like we never had. The room was filled with over 50 teenagers, from all different states and churches, but it sounded like it was one voice going right up to Jesus. "Still my soul will sing your praise unending, ten thousand years and then forevermore.."

A Sophomore..once again.

This is the second time in my life that I'm a sophomore. I'm excited to learn new things as I jump into nursing head on. I start this year of college with three hard classes - Patho, Pharm, and the first off-campus clinical. I have lots of studying and memorizing to do, but with God's help I'll get through it. On all of my notebooks I've pasted a verse to remind me of God's constant presence during troubled times. I would appreciate if you would pray for me during this semester. Thank you!

Frame it! Friday!

Not really from this week, but I'd like to share this anyway. My family is going on vacation to the finger lakes. I would love if everyone prayed for us as we travel and have a great time in God's creation.
