What an amazing God we have! Lover, Friend, Father, Savior, Protector, and oh so many more!
 The Almighty God, Creator of everything, wants to be friends with us. He wants a PERSONAL relationship with us! How awesome is that?! When I'm feeling rejected by the world, when I feel lost, lonely, sad, I can look to Him for comfort. I yearn to grow more in my friendship with Him so that I look to Him, not only when I'm sad, but when I'm happy. He is the closest friend we can have. I love Psalm 139 that says:

"O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;    you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down    and are acquainted with all my ways.Even before a word is on my tongue,    behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. You hem me in, behind and before,    and lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;    it is high; I cannot attain it.     Or where shall I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
    If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning
    and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me,
    and your right hand shall hold me. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
    and the light about me be night,” even the darkness is not dark to you;
    the night is bright as the day,
    for darkness is as light with you.     you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
    my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
    intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
    the days that were formed for me,
    when as yet there was none of them.
    How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
    I awake, and I am still with you.     O men of blood, depart from me! They speak against you with malicious intent;
    your enemies take your name in vain. Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?
    And do I not loathe those who rise up against you? I hate them with complete hatred;
    I count them my enemies.     Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me,
    and lead me in the way everlasting!
Where shall I go from your Spirit?
For you formed my inward parts;
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God!
Search me, O God, and know my heart!"

 Thank you Lord, for loving me, caring for me, being my friend <3

Summer 2019

"Even youths grow tired and weary,  and young men  stumble and fall;  but those who hope   in the   Lord  will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles;  they will run and not grow weary,  they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40: 30-31 This summer I worked at a summer camp called Circle C Ranch. For those of you who don't know about it, it is a summer camp for kids that revolves around sharing the gospel with kids. I was a... you guessed it... wrangler! That means that I worked long days working with the horses and making sure the tiny humans didn't die. Not going to lie, it was hard! We woke up early and went to bed late. The work was hard and fast paced. But it was so worth it! The kids absolutely loved the horses and there were a number of the kids who said that the horses were their favorite part of camp- they had come from places where they didn't have a chance to ride so this was special for them.  Outs...

Love's Source

Valentines Day What comes to your mind when you think of Valentines Day? For some people, theres excitement and joy. Maybe you have new love that is just blooming, and this is a day to celebrate and look forward to what is to come. Maybe you have a deep rooted love that is strong and sweeter now that you've been through the fires and love has been refined.  Maybe your heart sinks. You're looking for that love and it hasn't come yet. Or you've lost a love. This day is just a reminder of the love that you don't have.  There could be a hundred different scenarios that either make you look forward to, or dread today.  Wherever you are on the spectrum, whatever your feelings are of love right now, I encourage you to take time to come to the feet of LOVE. In the Bible there are four different words used for love. The first three are: Storge- empathetic love Philia - friendship love Eros- romantic love   These loves are beautiful, they are gifts from our Creator. ...

Information Clinic

This past week was the Information Clinic at Crystal Peaks and all I can say is wow! Around sixty people came from all over the country to learn about starting a ministry that shows the love of Christ to people in their area. It was so amazing to see their hearts, where God is leading them, to see them filled with excitement, full of hope for what God is doing, and for some, their faith flamed back to life.  One thing that I have really been praying about is being filled with the Spirit and really letting Him lead in every area of my life. That when I feel that nudge, I would act and not just push is away. This week I was able to put this into practice, and I was so blessed by it! During one of the classes I was on Foreman Assist (helping with chores) and we had finished all the chores for the moment and I was sitting at one of the tables outside. I was just sitting there and prayed "Lord, if there's someone you want me to talk to, show me!" I looked around and someone...
