Veterans Day

Thank you Veterans especially my dad my uncles, grandfather and my cousin for your service  fighting and Sacrificing in order to protect the Freedoms that many  us take for granted.  As Americans we need to remember the our Veterans everyday not just on Veterans Day freedom isn't free. It was paid many times over with blood, sweat, tears and many times the lives of our servicemen and women. 

Happy Birthday Marines

Another year

Today I am another year older, and hopefully another wiser. While I am still learning to walk with the Lord I am closer to Him now than I was this time last year. I finally content in where I am in life, God has me where he wants me for this stage of me in this season of my life. Not only can I trust God’s plan I can trust God’s promises. Am I where I thought would be at 28 no, but I am where God wants me to be for this season in my life. For now that is enough for now. To the point that turning thirty in two yeas doesn’t even phase me like I thought it would. Life is an adventure and I can’t wait to see what the next chapter brings.

Today also marks ten years since I graduated high school. Time does fly. I wonder what the next ten years will bring.

Memorial Day

Today is Memorial Day and to most people especially in my generation and younger people see it as a three day weekend and the unofficial start to summer. But for me and many others it is to remember why we are a free nation. The man and women who made the ultimate sacrifice. To give their lives so that others might live and be free.  Which again reminds me of a quote I don’t know who said it but it does ring true. Only two people ever chose to die for you, Jesus and the American Service member. One died to save your Soul and to give you eternal life. The American Service member died to protect your freedom.

But Memorial Day means more, because it’s not only the military service member be it Solider, Sailor, Airman or Marine who made the ultimate sacrifice it is their families as well. Not only are they Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, or Marines they are husbands, wives, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers. The ones they leave behind also give the ultimate sacrifice of the loss of their loved ones.

Of the family left behind the one that hits me the hardest is the children left behind. To me behind the service member who makes the ultimate sacrifice it is the child who makes the hardest, and most heartbreaking sacrifice because they will continue to go through life without their parents. As a military child myself these kids have my deepest respect because to me they have more strength and courage respect and honor for their country than most.

So this Memorial Day remember those who died fighting for their country but also remember their families as well. Honor the fallen and pray for the living.  

January Wrap up

January

January was a busy month that seems to have flown by and now its February. The beginning of January saw my little sister going back for the second semester of her freshman year of college. It also saw me finally decide what I want to get my masters degree in. Now it’s just taking the GRE and applying to Grad school. I am going to be getting a masters in Social work.

January also brought the start of new Bible study Free from Bondage God’s way by Kay Arthur. The study so far is awesome and just what I need.

January also brought about me working a lot of overtime because I am determined to have most of my student loan debt paid off by July.  

Bible Verses for 2015

Bible Verses for 2015

I realize that I’ve posted what  my words were for the year. But I forgot to post what my Bible verses are for the year. One is the same as 2014, and the other is a verse that I had used in 2013.

The verse from 2013 that I am using again is

I Say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” Lamentation 3:24.

My other verse the same as last year is

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

Both of the verses are verses that truly fit this year because I am waiting and trusting and putting my future in God’s hands. Why I wait to see about Grad school and finding a full time job in my field.  

My Words for 2015

My words for 2015 is Trust and waiting. Because I feel that I am going to need them both this year. As I spend the year waiting and trusting my Lord. While I wait to hear back from jobs in my field and wait to hear about Grad school.
