Have Faith

"Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen me and yet have believed." John 20:29

This verse was shared in our Sunday school class last week and I was so touched by it. I really strive to be faithful, and it was nice to be encouraged by this message. Jesus understands that we might have doubts sometimes, and thats okay. However, keep the faith, and you will be blessed :).

Mike asked the question, "Where do you lack faith?" Some of the most common areas that we lack faith are: salvation, believing God is always in control, unanswered prayers, and believing God will provide during difficult times. Check out these verses if you are lacking faith... Romans 10:9 (Salvation), 2 Samuel 7:28 (God is sovereign and in control), Malachi 3:10 (God will provide), Romans 6:11-14 (Our sins have been paid for), Psalm 46:1 (Difficult times), Proverbs 15:29 (Unanswered prayers).

Spring Break 2012




This might have been the best spring break I've had. It started off with Bree's bachelorette party in Nashville. It was so good to catch up with some of my very amazing Chi Omega sisters. I forgot how much I miss having these girls in my life!
Then we were off to Chattanooga. Brett actually ran downtown with me, which I very much enjoyed. He usually runs so much faster than I do (he is twice as tall as I am...) so we don't normally run together because he's too fast, and I'm too slow, but he was sweet enough to run at a very slow pace with me! Tuesday morning, we randomly traded in our car for a new Jeep Cherokee. I am soooooo in love with it! Can I just say, my sweet husband traded in his dream car, that we bought 6 months ago, for me to have the Jeep. Such a sweet man he is! On a side note, I am a horrible driver, and it's best for others on the road, and me that I'm in a SUV. I can't see out of a car.
Finally, we went to our favorite vacay spot, Destin. Jessica and Jeremy joined us! We went to eat at all of the favorites: Red Bar, Great Southern, and Stinky's. I say favorites, but I am not a fan of Stinky's! We layed on the beach, shopped, and went to Rum Runners in Baytowne, for some great music and dancing. We had a wonderful time! I am so thankful for my fall and spring breaks, and am looking forward to experiencing a summer break! Knowing me, I'll get bored and find a summer job or something......... maybe not!
This is one of the first Easter's that I have not been in church, or dyed Easter eggs with my family. I will probaly not miss these special events again! Shout out to my sweet mom for sending Easter dinner to my house, and my Memaw, Grandan, and brothers for watching Teddy for 9 days! What would we do without our families?!

I also have some VERY exciting news that I absolutely cannot wait to share! Coming soon!
