Hello!!!! Just a quick note to tell you all that I am still here!!! I have been very bad at not keeping up with this!!! Well, I am working on a few new posts, you will see them soon! Last week we had missions conference and it was very encouraging!!!!

The Lord has been teaching me a lot these last few weeks. One of the things that he made clear to me as well as others is that my focus was not on Him. With family and school and all the problems that come with that I was getting very discouraged. I started to take my focus off Christ and put it on myself. I started to have a "pity party" for myself. I also learned that by having a "pity party" and moping around that people did not want to be around me. When you have a bad attitude it not only effects you but it effects everyone around you. Also, you can't do anything about the things you can't change. I know that sounds kind of funny.....but worrying or dwelling on it will not change anything, so instead of worrying about it turn your "worry list" into your prayer list. Pray for the things that bother you that you have no control over.


Some one gave me this a few weeks ago so I thought I would share it with you.....I hope it is an encouragement to you!!! Proverbs 3:5-6: TRUST
T- Take the gift of salvation
R- rejoice in God alone/ not circumstances 1 Peter 1:3-9
U- Unleash your life to the soverign care of a perfect and
intimately wise God.
S- Sacrificial submission- up to God and out to others.
Focus on self eliminates others, focus on others eliminates self, look
for opportunities to serve.
T- Total responsiblity for everything goes to God.
