A few things

1. I am really glad to be back home in Reno, NV. I enjoyed bein with my family and seeing friends but I belong in Reno. It's my home now. I really appreciate the small things I used to take for granted back home in Louisiana. I really cherish my friends and the time with my family. It was a good visit but I am really glad to be back in Reno.

2. God is freakin AWESOME! He is so cool. Ya know now that I can trust Him with all of my heart life is easy. I believe that I am in Reno because of Him and He will see me through everything, big or small. When I think about His amazing love for me and all that He has in store for me, I cant help be smile and get excited! I love that I am able to trust Him and just enjoy life.

3. My passion is music. Always has been but now that I can worship, it's UNBELIEVABLY amazing! I love worshiping with Steve and it's no doubt a God thing. Just the way everything started and also how we clicked musically; I still have a hard time believing it. It seems like a dream because it was so perfect. I love the fact that I can confidently say that I am singing and I enjoy every minute of it. It's really awesome to have this passion for Christ. I love it! :)

Thankful

So last night I couldn't get over all the memories that my room and familiar places reminded me of, but today I was so thankful that I'm not the same person. Looking back at everything I can truthfully and honestly say that I am extremely thankful God has brought me to the place where I am now. I can't believe how different things are in my life. It's amazing. At first was didn't like all the reminders but now I can see the difference and appreciate it.

It's all about the point of view you wanna take.

Back home

It is the weirdest thing I've ever felt... Humidity, the smell, my house, my room... They all have memories attached to them and I can honestly say I don't miss them. I've been gone for so long and I've changed, and apparently more than I realized. When I look around my room I just think about what I used to feel, act, and be and that's not who I am now. It's like a bad taste in my mouth.

When I moved to Reno is when I can truly say MY life began. My faith in God and my walk with Christ grew immensely. Reno was my new beginning and it was positive. I feel free to live life and allow God to direct my steps. Louisiana has so many bad memories and every where I look I run into familiar places where I wish I would have done things differently. I feel like I am stuck in the past here and nothing is living.

Thank God for the person I've become. I owe it all to Him. The upside of being back in familiar places is you can see how far you have become to the new person you are today. The difference from who I was and who I am is where my focus is, now it is solely on God, every step of my life.

thinkin time again...

Another good reason why I need a job, so I don't end up thinkin all day long.

So about this guy. Alright so I just moved to a new place to find out who I am in God and basically in life without my parents. I've always wanted to date my best friend rather than just date a guy I just met. So why would I want to start datin this guy out here in Reno when I just met him a couple months ago?

I've just got comfortable living single and enjoying it, truly enjoying it. I don't need to worry or focus on trying to date this guy when all I need to do is enjoy being me. Over time Lord willin, we'll go out.

So being home sick allows my mind to ramble on about things, especially boys and life. Am I even ready for a relationship?? I don't wanna make the same mistakes I did in my last relationship, so I'm kinda starting over in a sense. (I have a lil secret....I'm scared...) I really don't wanna screw up my next relationship. I do trust God but at the same time, I become vulnerable. I just don't know if I'm ready to become open again...

My final conclusion: Don't think about it and just live life. Enjoy each day for myself and if things happen, they happen. God can drive this time, I'm just along for the ride.

Im feelin GOOOOOOOOOD

So the only upside of having a cold is that you get to take medicine that makes you feel amazing and you get to sleep lots! My favorite cold meds is dayquil and nyquil. I feel great but Im kinda out of it.

For example, last night I was talkin to a friend of mine and I started cracking up because I rhymed. It really wasn't that funny but I couldn't stop laughing, I blame the nyquil. lol

Ps. I take the directed amount and only when needed. :)

One of those days

When I think about how I'm so lazy out here in Reno cause I don't really have a job and structure to my every day schedule, I just remind myself how much of a blessing it is. I have my whole life to work. Once I have a job I know imma wish I had time off to just live. lol I am so thankful that I have days to just relax and not stress about things. God has truly blessed me in this time off.

I love blogging, it really is awesome. It helps me so much. I enjoy typing and gettin the thoughts that just keep rolling around out and in a logically order. I think everyone should blog. It's such a great thing in my life. Even though people I know don't read it, it helps me process things and what not. Plus its actually better that people I know don't read it cause then I can rant and rave about them and they never know hahahha!

So today is a day where I just wanna go sit somewhere pretty and look at the world and thank God for everything. Just sit and feel the warmth of the sun and listen to music. Ya know being still and listenin to God is pretty great, its one of my favorite things to do. :)

its funny

Ya know it's funny how people pray for things and then when they happen they freak out! haha God does answer prayer. People think that God isn't listening when in fact He is listening to everything and nothing goes unnoticed.

My examples are pretty classic. One. I wanted to get away, and have a chance to grow up and really live life. well about a week later if that I was in Reno, NV. 2000 miles away from home. Prayer answered.
Two. There's a guy that is pretty much amazing in every way possible. I prayed that God would have his way and once I had a peace about it, I prayed that things would happen. Well things are pretty obvious now and I could possibly have a boyfriend. And now that I know he likes me is shocking. Why should I be shocked?? I prayed, God listened, and now its coming to be. lol there's no need to be shocked.

God is awesome and I am so thankful for answered prayers :)

God is awesome!

God has yet to surprise me since I have been in Reno. Ya know the more I think about the moment I was baptized the more I cant get over the fact of how incredible God's love for us is. I just get so overwhelmed when I stop and think about how much He truly loves us. I can't help but live my life for Him after what His son went through for us even though we were sinners. I just can't get over it. I love God so much. :)

My friends are the most amazing gift God could ever give me. God knows just what I need at the right times. I thank God for my friends that He's given to me here in Reno and back home. He has given me a best friend who has been there for me through everything, I love her so much and she means the world to me. My friends in Reno are older but thankfully age hasn't stopped us from having a blast every time we get together. I couldn't have asked for a better group of friends.

The Inheritance

I got BAPTIZED!!!!

Sunday November 7, 2010 is the day I got baptized. It was a great day! My friends and family came and supported me.

The story behind why:
July of 2009 at VBS at my church back home is when I really made the whole-heartedly decision to follow Christ. As I watched the way the little girls I had loved on me and just wanted to be with me, God spoke and said that He loved me even though I hadn't loved Him. He didn't care about my past and what I had done. He still loved me 100 percent (see video posted). It was the simple love of a child that made it real for me to follow Christ. Ever since then I have become to love little ones and also LOVE God with my WHOLE heart.

God has yet to amaze me in His wonderful plan for my life. Through the move to Reno, I have really let go of "my" plan for my life and let God plan my steps and path. Trusting God has been my biggest lesson out here in Reno. The peace from trusting God in every little and big thing has brought so much peace it's almost overwhelming. My God is amazing! :)

My love hate relationship

I love buffalo wings!! I can only handle the mild flavor though cause about have way through my meal my face begins to get red and I almost break out in a sweat. I love them so much though. Thankful one day a friend told me that if you eat celery it balances out the hotness and you can keep eatin them. Now I can finish my meal without breakin a sweat, woot woot! :)
