I am very thankful for being introduced to this next group! They are absolutely amazing! You will most definitely be seeing them again! I know this video is quite long, but listen to the entire thing! You won't regret it! Enjoy!

"Come be the fire inside of me! Come be the flame upon my heart! Come be the fire inside of me! Until You and I are one!"

Blast to the Past...Round 2

OK so I know it has been a little bit since I began the task of catching everyone up to speed in my journey of life. So without further ado, let's get started and see if I can catch us all the way up with this post! Now that may be a challenge!

So we left off with me getting accepted at The University of Texas at Tyler! Who-hoo! Go Patriots! :)



So off I went! Keep in mind it is August 2006! Moved into the dorm my first year, and met many amazing people that I still love and cherish to this day! One of the first of many awesome people is my wonderful friend Kristen, I call her K. Blanch! We had lots of many fun memories! We had the same major all through school so we had many, many classes together! I introduce her now, because she will come back into play later! :) This is a picture of us at her wedding November 2010!

So here I am, this little fish in this big sea of college just studying hard, and working my butt off! Oh I should mention that I also began really my first real job I have ever had when I went to Tyler for school! It has been the most rewarding job ever! I say it has been, because I am proud to say that I am still employed there! It will be five years this August! Amazing! :)

OK so any who, back on track! Next thing I know I have this very interesting meeting of another young lady who turned out to be beautiful both inside and out! Everyone please meet, Ms. Shannon Marie! And true to form, I have a nickname for her as well, Slick! LOL Shannon and I hit it off so well that for the next four years (2006-2010) we lived together! Again, I don't have enough time, or space to tell and explain the many memories, laughs, cries, awkward situations, and spiritual conversations this girl and I had! Just like sisters! This is a picture of her and I a couple of months ago! She just got married this March 2011! Sadly I don't have a picture of us on that beautiful day!

So my years there at UT Tyler FLEW by and before I knew it I was starting my Senior year (my last two semesters) at college! Unbelievable! So just to update everybody on the time frame it is now January 2009.

OK so my story gets really good right about here, however it is quite long! I'm thinking that I will just introduce the next person, and save another blog post for the entire story!

As I sat at work one January day, I received a text from my dear friend K. Blanch. She asked if I would like to help out with a Disciple Now (youth retreat weekend thing) that coming weekend. I said yes to helping out! Got there that weekend and met the youth director that I had talked to through email and text a little the week before. Upon meeting him, I knew he was different almost immediately! Please welcome Daniel to this party...

This was our very first picture together! It was a couple of weeks after we had met! :)

Stay tuned for a entire post dedicated to telling you all the entire story of how Daniel and I met and the begins of our relationship. For now, just know that we are still together, and going strong! :)

OK so as Daniel and I really began our relationship I also began the last two semesters of my college career! These seemed to be the hardest yet, and I am so very thankful for my Jesus, my family, and of course for Daniel in the strength and encouragement they all gave me as I trudged through! Before I knew it, it was December 2009 and I was graduating from COLLEGE! Unbelievable!

This is me with my beautiful family the day that I graduated from the University of Texas at Tyler with a Bachelor's of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies! :)

Like I had mentioned above, I am currently still working at the office I worked at all through school. However, I was able to work my way up! I was very fortunate for my employer to offer me a full time position after I graduated! After much prayer, I decided to take the position! And it could not have been a better decision I could've made to stay here! I absolutely love my job, and enjoy the people that I work with. Most importantly I love the mission that we get to take part in. Just to give you some details, I work for a hospice. We have the opportunity of being included in people's lives at such a vulnerable time, and to be able to provide the resources we have to them to make that part in life as peaceful as possible, makes it completely worth it. It's a very rewarding experience to work in the field that I do!

Any who, continuing on. Well after I graduated and moved into the working world I began to settle in out here in East Texas. For whatever reason, I'm just drawn to these piney woods! :) A few months go by, and I get some of the greatest news ever...my sister informed me...that I was going to be...an AUNT!!!!!!! My Sissy was going to have a baby!!!! And she did December 2010 my beautiful baby niece also joined our crazy family! Her name is Tinley Kay Ann, but most of the time I call her TK! This is a picture of us at the hospital when she is hours old!

Well really I guess that about sums it up! I feel like I'm missing lots of things, but those are really the majors! Here's just a few more things and then I'll call it a quits...

I am a full time, real world, East Texas working girl!

I spend as much time as possible with my love, Daniel!

I love the sounds of my family member's voices when I haven't heard from them in a while!

I even more so, love to see their faces and update them on the crazy things going on in my side of the world!

I smile so big when my sister sends me my daily picture of my beautiful niece and hearing about the new things she begins to do!

I enjoy being a book worm, and curling up with a good book!

I love spending time with Daniel's youth kids, serving and feeding them as much as I can!

I love to play sports, and still manage to hit the court and field every once in a while!

I am continually praising my Lord for the many blessings that He has so graciously blessed me with! But a simple thank you isn't enough! I hope to continue to thank Him day to day by living my life devoted to Him! I have nothing more to give but my all to Him for the many things that He has done and provided for me!

Until next time!

LOVES!

Worship Wednesday

Hello all! I know it's Wednesday already, and I'm just now getting back on my blog! If you read my previous post you know that I was away for the weekend! It was a rather eventful weekend for everyone! I may unpack the weekend in the next coming posts. For now, I'm going to start a weekly blog post that hopefully you all will enjoy!

Worship Wednesday
I plan on posting a worship song each Wednesday! A song that I have either heard recently, applies to what's going on currently or one that I just really love! I hope you enjoy this!

We will kick things off with a song that I absolutely love right now...

"And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us? And if our God is with us, then what could stand against?"
