Summer of 2007

Well I really have had a lot of change in my life. I moved to a new state left all my relationships behind and started from fresh. I am in total peace but I miss all my family and friends so much. They are days I wish I could just jump in my van and go to my sister’s house, shopping with my BF Tina or go the gym with Jeanine and then have homemade cookies with coffee. The reality is that I am in a new place and it is a new beginning. I am also starting to homeschool all of my kids and this in itself is a new challenge for me. In mist of it all God has made me stronger and given me hope. I am far but he has brought to my life new relationships to share my everyday adventures with. I started to mix my reading with Christian novels and I have been so blessed by them. I have really been able to think of how I want people to view me as. The characters in the novels are strong great Christians with problems but strong faith that impact many people. I want to be a woman that impacts other women to get closer to God and grow in their faith. I am so thankful for all that God has done in my life. I just don't deserve any of it and yet he gives me my heart desires. This summer is one that I will never forget- I moved and my relationship all got so much stronger!!! My little sister Loren leaves to Peru in a couple of weeks and this is her last summer in the states with us. As I look at my life and all the miracles the Lord has done I just know how great he is. I would not change any of it for all was Gods perfect will in my life. I heard a sermon on Romans 5:1-5 that talks about our trails and how they are for 1-Perseverance 2-Character, experience 3- Hope, confident in the Lord. When I reflect on this I can go ahead with Gods plan in my life. I want to thank you all for the prayers, your love, and your emails and for being a part of my life. God Bless you all!!!
