Australian Friend

Yesterday I talked with a girl from Australia that had just moved to the states.
She told me what it was like moving here and the differences....
I talked with her while folding clothes in the laundry mat....I couldn't believe that we had talked for over an hour!
The entire time something inside of me was saying...you need to witness to her.
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes..." Rom. 1:16
Sure enough she said that 'religion' was not big in her country. I told her where her hope had to lie and the only way to find true happiness! I am so glad for the opportunity to talk and get to know this girl from Australia.
I have to be faithful to God's promptings!!

Coffee Shop

I am sitting in my favorite coffee shop today thinking...

Of how important it is for me to be far from the ones I love even though it's not easy.
It helps me to put ALL my faith in GOD for everything.
I have been thinking about Job and how he had everything, but then lost EVERYTHING he had. He wasn't just far away from the one's he loved, no, God took them away completely yet he said
'I have brought nothing into this world and can take nothing out.' It's like he was saying, 'Lord whatever you want with me and my family, it is ok .'
He trusted that his Creator new best in every situation even if it meant taking all that he had.
Job is someone that was faithful to what God had for Him.

"I HAVE BROUGHT NOTHING INTO THIS WORLD, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.." 1 Timothy 6:7

Needless to say, we had a very eventful Thanksgiving :)  We are thankful to be here in Shreveport and look forward to Christmas when we can be with FAMILY!  

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good..."  Psalm 107:1

Our WONDERFUL PARENTS!

GOD HAS CREATED ME TO HELP THE ONE I LOVE THE MOST...MY HUSBAND!

\I have read and other wives have to told me about this. But now that I am actually MARRIED it is so much more challenging than I thought. To integrate both of our ideas into Gods plan and goal for us is challenging.
For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Jer. 29:11

GOD HAS A PLAN FOR US....HE WANTS US TO DO WELL TOGETHER!
I love being married and having a HOPE FOR THE FUTURE WITH THE ONE I LOVE!
