God is GREAT!

Hey everybody! God is great. Lately, a lot of things have been going on and changing in my life. I am not one who particularly loves change, but this change is going to be awesome. I was dreading Kevin leaving, [sorry Hamar], but I got to know Hamar better, and now I am so excited that he is taking over. I can not wait for the changes that will come with that. With Kevin leaving, so are the Nichols. I wasn't too happy about that. I didn't think that it was their best interest leaving, I was prepared to go with Kevin. Then I stepped back, and realized the only reason I wanted to go was not the right reasons to leave. I realized that what God was doing was preparing me for what was to come. I did not understand it then, but now I realize that God was preparing for the Nichols not to be in my life. He was telling me I was leaning too much on Steven and not enough on Him. Once I came to the realization that going to Grace Road church was not in my best interest, I started backing away from my relationships with the Nichols, without actually backing away. I know that if God did not start to prepare me for what was coming then, I would not have the attitude I have now with what is going on. God prepared me, and started easing me down from a place that could have been very hurtful to me now. With the right preparation, when all of this went on, I was hurt, but not to a point where I was running away from the creator. I have gotten passed the point of Steven not being in my life, taken away the hate towards his parents for the decision that was made. I know they were only God's messengers who were carrying out God's plan. If it is in God's plan later on, then they will be brought back into my life, maybe when my life is on track for him and I am the Godly woman he needs/designed me to be.

We don't always understand what is going on while it happens, but in the end, it all turns out the way it is intended to..

God is great!

Things that make up a Godly Woman

Lately I have had this ongoing thought.. What makes up a Godly woman? I have been brainstorming ideas and thought I would share them with everybody.

~trusting your life in the Lord's hands

~submitting to elders

~dressing modestly

~praying always

~respecting others and their decisions

~kindness/love towards others around you

~Be a Godly example/edify others

~Pay attention to others thoughts, and take them into consideration

~Thank the Lord always

~Loving the Lord your God

~Not being quick to judge

~Being patient

~Not being selfish, putting others before yourself

I will repost this as I have more thoughts later on. If anybody else has anything they would like to add to this topic, leave them in the comments please.

Hello Beautiful Creations

Hello everybody! It's been so long since I have written anything! These past couple of weeks have been pretty crazy; lots of change has been going on. Change that wasn't particularly wanted, but I suppose was needed. You don't notice how much you isolate yourself, until the thing that distracts you is gone. As I have been taking on these changes, I have been praying like crazy to God. Asking him to take away any pain that may come out of this, any hatred that may come as a result, and helping me just focus on him, instead of all the worldly factors around me. I would actually like to thank the people who induced this change; you don't notice things you try to ignore. But when the actual change comes, it's actually not that bad. It may be hard, but what I have been doing is take all the time spent on that one thing and in turn focusing on God. What a wonderful creator he is! I would love to stay and write more, but I would like to keep this shorter tonight, I'm very exhausted-- Woke up at 5:30 today to get ready to volunteer for the JDRF walk today. Then work all day long. Which, I couldn't even be dropped off at work- a result of the Memorial Day parade in town today. So, with 3 minutes before I had to be there,  I got out of the car like 1 1/2 miles up the rode and sprinted! I made it =D 

God is great, God bless you all!

We may not understand everything that comes our way, but God has his hand on everything. He never lets us go, or forgets about us. He always is there with us, going through our struggles with us...
