Thanksgiving Blessings

Hello there world. I come here today to say say that I am thankful for everything God has given me. He blessed me with an amazing husband, who is always by my side no matter what. I am so loved by such an amazing human being and I am so glad to call him mine. God has truly blessed us with each other. I have also been blessed with an amazing family. Even though it is the family I married into, I thank each and everyone of you, for always accepting me, it truly does feel great to be a part of a wonderful family. I am thankful for having such a wonderful and rewarding job. I love what I do and I know God has me right where I need to be. I am thankful for the new people I have met through work, you all are the greatest and the best to work with! I am so thankful to have a car, a roof over my head, food to eat, running water, so thankful for the things of everyday life. Most of all I am soo thankful for a new life through Christ, he has saved me and washed me white as snow. What an amazing thing! Thank you Lord Jesus for all your many blessing you have given to me! I put all my hope, faith and trust in you and I know that you will lead me to even better things, and I am so excited to see what you do in me and Chad's lives!

Puppies!

No wonder they say that a dog is man's best friend. For Chad's birthday his family got him a chihuaha, now I have never really cared for them so much but Turbo patch is the exception. Let me tell you that Chad and I love this puppy! He is so sweet and so loveable! Chad's little sister Chelsea also got one but she is a girl and her name is Scarlet! Here are some pics!

Sanctus Real - Whatever You're Doing Music Video

This song explains exaclty what I am going through right now, the closing of one chapter in my life and the opening of a new chapter. I have been fighting this for the last 2 years and I am tired of being hurt and I will never understand why things turned out the way they did with my family. All I can do now is forgive and move on because I have let this go on for way too long. Once I get through this rough patch in my life, there will be no more hurt and pain! Please pray for me during this time as I reflect and write a letter to each one of my family members.

Lifes happenings lately!

Hey there, I know its been awhile since I have posted a But here I am now a month later!!!! Things are going good in our little corner of the world. I have been working soo much lately and that is probably why I have not posted a blog in so long. Speaking of work, I am finally starting to realize that I am exactly where I need to be. The first few months of working at the VA I wasnt sure that I was in the right area but now that I have been working at the VA for a little over a year now, I truly do know it is where I belong. I see so much and I am really realizing how hard civilian life is and can be on our veterans. You will never know the horrors of war and having to come back home and I see that everyday. I just never realized how real it is. I strongly believe that I have something to give to these men and women who have served our country. I thank God everyday for giving me such a rewarding job, because at the end of the day I know that I am doing something good and sometimes even making someones day. Of course we are all going to have our bad days but I think we should all be happy that we have such wonderful jobs. 

On another note, Chad and I are in the process of saving money so that a year from now we can buy a house. I know this time is going to be trying and it might get hard at times but I am putting all my faith in God and in Chad because I know we can do it, and I know in the end it will pay off, its just a matter of getting through it. So I am praying that we will get through this next year! So many exciting things are going on in our lives right now and we are just so excited to see where God leads us! Well that about wraps everything up for now...until next time!


~Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. Psalm 34:8~

Verse of the Day

Acts 2:42 – They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. – Acts 2:42

When the Spirit was poured out at Pentecost one of the effects was that the early Christians devoted themselves to the teaching of the Scripture.

There is a difference between devotion and learning. The early believers laid their views on the altar of God’s Word. They allowed it to shape them.

How do you view the Scripture? Are you willing to devote yourself to it? To simply learn is not enough.

Ok So I must admit...

I think baby fever has officially hit me! I mean look they are just too precious

There are so many people I know who are expecting and who have babies. It doesnt help either that most everyone I talk to has to ask me if Chad and I are going to start trying to have kids, now that we are married. I would love to have a baby but I know that right now I am much more focused on work and school and getting done with school and settling into my career that way we are really ready. Dont get me wrong, if it just happens then of course I would be so excited! I just know that God will bless us with a child in his time and I am so excited for whenever that time may be!
