i love the fact that its only one month till i have a visitor and three months till i am home...

it gets harder but yesterday i really found out why i am out here. i have alot of work that needs to be accomplished before i head home.. God is amazing and has opened my eyes to the faults in my life and why they are there. its weird how the way you coped as a little girl is how you are conditioned to cope when you are older. its time to break those habits and cope the way Jesus wants me to. I am not content with who i am and i pray i never will be! there is always room for improvement! ALWAYS!

ok so i am back in alabama.. i spent the night in athens because of the roads.. its 18 degrees here.. crazy! im not used to it especially since i have been in California where it was 80 degrees today.

This is not fun.

Departing my family at the airport today was probably the hardest thing i have done since i left to move here. It sucked. My heart breaks to be back at home and i cant wait till may.

So my trip this time has been the best experience in my life! God is more than amazing! GLORY BE TO HIM! The peace He gave me these past weeks has been phenomenal! I realized how much i threw away when i lived in California and it broke my heart. My family means the world to me and never again will i leave them.

I am so happy to restore so many friendships... Now we are picking up where we left off.

Dont get me wrong i am thrilled with what God has taught me out here and i still believe it was His will! But i have learned what i needed to learn and i am so excited to start back where my life left off in california. The whole thing is refreshing!

God showed me what it was to be truly loved and romanced.. Gosh its the greatest feeling.

Hes amazing! The verse i have been leaning on for a while is "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not lean on your own understand, In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight" Proverbs 3:5-6

I am living it! i am a walking testimony that God is so faithful! I am so thankful. I have never been so happy =]

I pray God does something huge in your heart too =]

so i know its been a long time.. but i needed the break! i have had alot going on in the past month with EVERYTHING! from school, work, the holidays and change!

On a good note - school is over and finals wet by super fast! i am off work for almost three weeks! praise the Lord! and during those three weeks i get to spend it with my wonderful family.

So alot has happened since i last updated. As alot know, i have spent the past year and a half in the good ole south but for the past six months i have been very very home sick. It has set in really bad. I feel like my purpose in the Alabama is coming to a close. Thats why i had to take such a long pause off of my internet world.. i finally feel for the first time in a LONG time my mind is cleared and i know Gods purpose. All i can do is obey. "The idea is not that we do work for God, but that we are so loyal to Him that He can do His work through us!" AMEN! I have been blessed to receive some amazing answers. I never thought i would make CA my home again but i realized family is my home and i never want to move far away again.

Short story- i was really upset in my car one night and i opened my center consul ad found a mini new testament bible with a note in it.. the note was actually a map home that my mom gave to me the day i left... it said "And there's a 50 in the ashtray in case you run short on cash, Here's a map and here's a Bible if you ever lose your way " its from the song "Dont Forget to Remember Me"by Carrie Underwood.. oh how wonderful Gods answers are.. i totally forgot that was in there until that day.

No matter how much this world can reject you the Love of our precious God will guide your heart. In my situation God loves me so much that He broke my heart to show me the amazing plans for my life! HOW GREAT IS HE! He has called me back to my temporary home in California. When i move i dont know.. maybe sooner than may. Either way i am so excited with what God has done with me! Im excited to go back to my home church and my amazing friends as well!

There are some things i will miss about Florence but i know the friendships i made with the important people in my life will always remain! I am so thankful for the people i have met. They have helped me so much! Glory to GOD!

Right now i am sitting in the airport in Huntsville with the anticipation to hug my precious family at 11 tonight! I love times like this... =] the ones where u have so much excitement in a busy place where all you can do is smile because people would look at you weird if you started jumping and dancing from excitement lol.

i think i am gunna take a break on updates on my life.. we will see if i return soon, that i dont know. 

thanksgiving tomorrow?!?!?! WHAT?! bring on the food baby!

i need to use a phone! the plumber is supposed to call me and so is my landlord... ohh geeez.
