The good ole' days

Haha so arent you just loving the new page picture of Jeffe and I?

Spring 2007- please say my junior year of college was not um 3 YEARS ago? I hate how fast time goes, and I hate how different i look just three years ago~

Well so many wonderful things have happened in the mean time but yesterday was one of the those nights that i felt too aware of the reality of life. That has always been a sign of growing up to me. The loudest sign. Mostly because I am aware of pain and hurt, and most of all...change.

Its been a rough year for my very big family. I have been so blessed that in my 23 years on earth, I have only lost two great grandparents. All my granparents are still alive and one great grandmother. No one has divorced, and well its been rough at times but I am quite aware that for whatever reason the Lord has shielded my family from alot of hard times. Yes, every one expieriences it in different ways and at different times, but I cant help but think sometimes, when will our time come? Are we next? With that, I totally see my need to cry out to the Lord for comfort, and come to him to rest in. God has given me a wonderful life and I know to praise him in the success and victory and praise him in the desert in despair.

My pray today as I go about my errands on my day off, that I would praise my God when the storms of life become to much. When I feel as though I cant make it, I will learn from the powerful people he has put around me in my life who have more strength than I can even begin to understand. Lord give me strength that only comes from you. Lord you are my everything and only way to making it when times are tough.

I also thank you for the good things of right now. A healthy husband asleep while I type, a family close by, friends who know me and speak amazing love and truth in my life, a wonderful apartment, and the fact that I know you father and will spend eternity in heaven.
