The fall semester is going by so fast. Thus far I seem to be doing well in my classes. I am so excited to come home and visit family and a handful of friends. I am so blessed by the Lord with all he has given me and I can't wait to see what else he has in store. Right now I plan on finishing this year at Angelo State but afterwards I am still not sure where I want to finish. I love my roommates and the friends I have here so that makes it harder for me to decide.

Live Laugh Love

Live each day as if it could be your last :)

so i love my friends i really do..

each one brings out different great qualities and i wouldn't have it any other way

sometimes i feel like i fail at everything though.. i'm only one person and i do care what others think but i wanna hang out with everyone and i cannot make everyone happy no matter how hard i try

things get brought up about the past that we are said to have forgotten and to move on but nope that never happens.. idk what to do but i just wanna live for my lord. i'm tired and i'm upset and i can't find the words i never have been able to

2 Timothy 3:16

All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.

Summer school is over and I managed to do well which is great. Now I'm just back to working for the wonderful Dr Knight in the RLEM/ESSM ANIN building at A&M and I couldn't be happier. I love that man, he's like another grandfather. Sweet, gentle, loving, kind, and caring on top of many other traits. Aside from that just picking up a few shifts at Outback Steakhouse to keep on top of my game for when I go back to San Angelo and hopefully work at that Outback again.

I miss Angelo and such but I am kind of curious to know what God wants me to do. I feel like it will be right for me to go back for another year or so but after that I guess we'll just have to see. I love my family and every day getting to spend time with them makes me happy. When I am alone I tend to think too much and I get upset and I don't like it. There is a boy I like but ultimately giving it to God because if it is right and is of the Lord then it will come in time. Just praying and lifting up everything to him.

My cousin gets married soon. She's going to look beautiful. Random side note I thought I'd add :)

Friend Amy Vines decided to move to Hawaii so I get her dog Emma whom has been great thus far. She's adorable and I am glad to be able to take care of her. She sleeps in my bed and makes me smile every time I see her so that's good.

I don't know what I am feeling right now. Debating whether I want to go to San Angelo this weekend.. weird?

I am so thankful for everything God has given me and just love to pray to him.

Rough patches, tears, roller coaster rides plus many more things could describe my relationship with one of my friends. Ultimately I hate drama but this girl is awesome. She makes me smile and just little things we do together I couldn't see myself doing with anyone else. I pray to be a better friend with each day. I am so thankful for the relationship we share and thank Jesus though I know I take many things for granted.

Thomas Calvin Wolz - You passed away on the 27th of June and I miss you boy. You were one attractive fellow. Glad I got to date ya :) Keep an eye out on all of us down here. My heart sings to know you are with Jesus. His home is so much better than this place I call home right now. Love you very much! Your family is staying strong. They will always miss you and Whitney is an amazing girl. Glad to know ya'll!

Winston- It's been awhile but I think about you often. Glad I get to talk to your mom occasionally. You are beautiful and I can't wait to see you again. Love you sweet girl. :) Watch over us!

Galations 1:10

Am I now trying to win the approval of man or of God? Or am I still trying to win the approval of man. If i were still trying to win the approval of man I would not be a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ!

I honestly recite this verse every day at least twice!

This is my favorite bible verse and for many reasons. 

Constantly from day to day this verse brings many questions to mind. Why I was put here on this earth? What reason do I have for being here? With each passing day I ponder what my purpose is for being alive.

Ultimately, I was put here on this earth to serve Christ my Lord. It thrills me to know that one day I will be standing in his presence and I will be before my Saviour living with him for eternity. 

Why this verse? This verse poses a question in my head that I never stop thinking about. 

• Am I trying to impress others?
• Am I being myself around the people I am surrounding myself with?
• Do I live my life according to His word?
• Do I think before I speak and take action?
• Why do I do the things I do and say the things I say?

These are just a few questions that go through my little head when pondering about this verse. 

Through reciting this verse, it makes me think before I speak and think about my actions. I need to be myself and live for the Lord not live to get the satisfaction of others. If I am looking for satisfaction in people, no wonder I have failed.. I have to look at the lord and be a servant for him. :)

also.. many things have been on my mind lately and being able to talk to a firm believer in Christ helps so much. Shows that God provides everything we need.. Here's a little of what my friend said to me and I thought it was great!

there will always be things that come up that you'll be concerned about.. but, our God can handle anything you let Him.. you have to let Him first though, and trust in His plan.. i will def lift that up for you.. and also that He will lead others into your life that will not only help keep you accountable, but you can help each other grow closer to God together..
