Wow once again it has been so long since I last updated! But God has been showing me many things over the summer and into this semster!

~ Family is a God-given support system. ~ Time with God can make a busy day not so busy. It's gotta be a God thing. ~ God has a heart for the lost and wants to use us more than anything to share the gospel. If only I would keep my eyes open!

I have realized that only God can satisfy all my needs. It seems this is a thought I must relearn every day.God has blessed me with so many things!! Even things that are not working out the way I want them are in God's best plan for me! and when I look back on them I see only blessings and God's grace and love!! Praise Him!!! Well that's just a quick overview of what I've been thinking about. As this semester continues I pray that you would fall more in love with your creator and that he would be at work in yourn life.

Praise Him!!

It feels so good to be home. I miss evey one from MU, but it has been nice to relax and spend time baking and just ......doing nothing!! The snow was here and has now been washed away by the rain. Today I just hung around the house and made a popcorn/cranberry garland for our Christmas tree...It's amazing that it is less that 2 weeks away>I need to get shoping. While I'm thinking about Christmas let me say that this year I am trying to slow my schedule down during this crazy time and focus on the truth behind Christmas... God sent Jesus to become a human baby. He lived to die and now lives through me (the Holy Spirit) That is so amazing!!

It is awkward to be home. I now need to respect my parents in the sense that I'm living under their house and am still their daughter and they like to know where I am all the time and what I'm doing... It really isn't that bad at all. It's just diffrent from at school where I had both the responsibility and authority to be in control of my own actions. I love my parents and my brother so much. God has allowed hard things to occur to produce great relationships between all of us. Thank you Jesus for always knowing what's best and working things out to your glory! You are excellent!

Wow it has been almost 2 weeks since I last posted anything and since then so much has happened. I have seen God working in amazing ways.. So I'll start with this past Wednesday...Jenna and I decided we would  meet at the chapel and talk/pray about what God is doing and how we see him working... It is always great to share with others what God is doing!! then we decided to go jump in the puddles! they were crazy big...it was so much fun we got muddy and then I feel in the reservoir oh my was it cold...then I studdied up for care group and lead care croup I didn't feel like I was very prepared and randomly coming up with questions. I guess it doesn't matter because God can use anything... then Thursday I had a busy day as is every Thursday. I went to class and then Coatsville it was great to see the kids and amazing because they were very well behaved and listened well. Thanksgiving dinner was amazing and then we drove back. ( I feel asleep) Helped Laura with some EL ED projects and got a chance to talk about I Thes. 2. Then off to frisbee. On Thursday I was needing God's love a lot Do you know the feeling when you begin looking for love in other places not bad places but because I wasn't looking and accepting Gods love I was feeling empty. Yeah here comes the exciting part Friday!! Classes blah blah blah..and then care group night which was so much fun I realize there a lot of people in my dorm I don't know and I really want to make that effort to get to know them better! After dinner and games at the Hershey's we were off ot Oneeighty...It was a blast I got to meet new people from millersville and it just blew mw away the fellowship I was able to have!! Thanks to everyone who went and to God for blessing our time! Back on campus we were whether to watch a movie or go to bed?!?! in the mean time I read Bret and Brian a good book by Max Lucado called "The King is Coming" If you ever get the chance to stop by we can read it!!! then off to a movie!! I feel asleep do we see a patten? Sat. gets even better... Went to lunch about 12 and then decided to do homework by the pond...I spent 3 hours and got 4 scrapbook entries done! but once again good fellowship. We saw Scott and his little brother Trey.. It was cool to see the interaction between them. It's so great the way God gives us this love and then we are able to tap into it and share the love he has with other people.... God you are so gracious and I continually forget the great things you do for me. Thank you for fellowship thank you for sencerity in friendships and for bring me here to Millersville!  It has been a great growing experience and given me a greater desire to serve God in any area he wants me... Wow that was a lot of rambling and if you sufferes through that you deserve some brownie points! God is so great.

Philippians 1:4-5 I thank my God in all my rememberance of you, always offering prayer with joy in my evert prayer for you all.
