Count Your Blessings! :D

Yesterday, the reality of everything I was leaving behind hit me over my head, just like a big 2x4. I realized, wow....I'm leaving my job, and all my friends there?!?!! My last day at work will be May 24th! It's funny how God works everything out, because that is the week I officially graduate and summer officially begins- so I can start my new job the next week! God really DID work it out, but it came to me as a suprise when I realized I really am leaving my job, and going all the way to California for school! Ah, well, God has not ceased to be good to me! Praise His name, forever!

The devil has truly been attacking me yesterday and today, and mocking my decisions. He wants me to think they are not real- that what I have decided to do is merely a decision made upon emotions- not faith. When in reality, it was faith in Almighty God that helped me make these decisions in my life! PRAISE HIM!

God has delivered my soul from death, why shall I not trust him to help me make decisions in my life, and trust the decisions he leads me to make? This reminds me of some verses in PSalms 56 which say:
In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee. For thou hast delivered my soul from death": wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
-Psalms 56:11-13



God is so good, and gracious. And yes, I really got hit in the face yesterday to make me realize everything I'm leaving behind- I know realize, I am leaving it behind because God has called me to a NEW life, a NEW song! One in which praises and offerings to HIM is chiefest of priority! Of course, all my friends I'll stay in contact with, and my dear, dear, family, but I'll stay in contact with them while doing the will of God. PRAISE HIS NAME!

I also wanted to share some pictures with ya'll, my family is so cute, eh? I dont know if I have pics of everyone, but here's a few! These two are some kids my who were added to my family by God last December! What a great Christmas present! :) I'll post pics of the rest of my family soon! :D





(Me and my sister, Evie! Awh, she's so cute! She looks sorta suprised here!)





(Me and my brother Alex, awhh, he's so cute too....after I told him to go wash his face. Haha! =D )



PRAISE GOD For all the blessings in my life, especially Evie and Alex, and all my other brothers and sisters. I dont have pictures of them on this computer, our computer crashed a while back so we have to get the memory cards onto this one. :)

A Sinner, SAVED!,

Hey!

Wait is sounds like you are moving to Lancaster the 24th of this month. When is school going to begin for you? Did your parents adpt your brothrs and sisters because it says they were added? Im sorry i have lost of time and am always up late. God Bless.

Psa 62:2-12 He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken. (3) How long will all of you attack a man to batter him, like a leaning wall, a tottering fence? (4) They only plan to thrust him down from his high position. They take pleasure in falsehood. They bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. Selah (5) For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him. (6) He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. (7) On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God. (8) Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Selah (9) Those of low estate are but a breath; those of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath. (10) Put no trust in extortion; set no vain hopes on robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart on them. (11) Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God, (12) and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love. For you will render to a man according to his work.

God is Fatihful!
