Update On Life

So update on the moving...
    My family took a week long drive up to Washington which I am now. Lots of tears and hugs with friends when we left. So we have been here for a month now. My family and I have been living with our Aunt and Uncle during that time.
   Just a few days ago we got an offer on our house and we accepted it! So now we are in the prosess of finding a new house hopefully by christmas!
   These past few weeks have been really hard on me because:
1. I just left all of my friends to go to an unkown territory
2. I miss all my friends
3. Nobody at our new church has come up to my sister or I just to get to know us so no friends here. Well except for this stalker guy....
4. I really am not really in a healthy relationship with God which i am working at
5. I just really really want my own space because i am an introvert and the bathroom is not good enough! LOL
   Well I hope y'all had a great Thanksgiving! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Mustard Seed Faith

   This past week my family has been cleaning the house because we showed it to people. On Monday and Tuesday I just felt so stressed. It was crazy. I had an attitude with everyone and I just did not feel right.
   I realized that I was depressed. So there is a difference of being depressed and living in depression. I was living in depession because it influenced the choices I made and the way I acted. I felt like I was having a spiritual battle.
   Tuesday night I half heartedly prayed that God would take it away. I had little faith it would do anything because the devil was wispering to me. On Wednesday morning, right when I woke up I felt a weight off my shoulders. I returned to myself and I just thanked God for taking away my troubles.
   I know it sound cliché but with faith as small as a musturd seed, God can do great things in and through you. Don't give up hope and put your trust in Him.

Moving

   I have some really exciting yet sad news....
                              MY FAMILY IS MOVING TO WASHINGTON STATE! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
My whole family lives in the Northwest so it is very exciting to see them and live around them after being separated for around 13 years. I saw them only during Christmas time. The sad part is that I will be moving away from all my friends here in KY. I have a strong support system, awesome church, and even more awesome friends here and I will be leaving all of them. It will be so hard and I might not ever see many of them again. It is a very depressing realization.
  To be honest, I really don't want to go but since my dad seems to be happy about the new job and my mom is happy about living near family I am okay with it.
   I am looking for encouragments and your own stories on this subject. Thank you!

Best Thing Ever!

I have 2 exciting things to share with you today!
1. I finished my prayer journal! Yay! I already have my next one ready!
2. I got baptized! Finally! My sister and I did it together.
       At the beginning, we had a come and share encouragments to each person. Since the youngest kids didn't want to be put infront of people, I went first! I was crying but the thing is I wasn't ashamed or embarassed! I felt a feeling of being comfortable in front of some people i knew and other I didn't know! I knew what lead me to that point and it is so amazing to see how God works in your life! I have said it before but GOD IS SO GOOD AND AWESOME AND JUST AMAZING! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! THERE ARE NO WORDS THAT DESCRIBE HIM PERFECTLY! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

A Compliment That Rocked My World

     Sorry I havn't written in a while. I have been a little bit busy. But here is a story that totally rocked my world!

     So the other day at youth group, we were talking about our strengths and weaknesses. When it can to my turn for the strengths, I asked if anyone has observed a strength of mine. One of my friends who I havn't known for a long time said that she could tell that I was a strong Christian and that I shine God's light. It was the best compliment anyone has ever given me! I was so amazed at her saying that, I was baffled and didn't know what to say!
     If anyone gives you that compliment it means that they have a strong desire to know God as well. Those are the kind of friends to keep by your side! Cherish them and look for God's light in their life! In fact always look for a light in oneanother! It just might make someone's day!

I'm a Thinker

      I have a big imagination. Sometimes it's bad and sometimes it's good. I am also a big thinker. So of you tell me something during the day, i might think about it at night. That's just the way I am!
      Lately, I have been living in the past. Yeah... specifically my most embarassing moment. Yeah everybody has one or so. The thing is, is that every time i look back i think, "Uugghh, I should have listened!" Yep someone told me not to and i did it! That does not help me!
      I should not be wrapped up in the past. I know it's hard not to be, but the only reason you should look back is to see how far you've come.

                                                      Don't dwell on the past;
                                                          live in the present
                                                      and hope for the future.

       So if you are wrapped in the past think to yourself "The past has past and there is nothing i can do about it. Maybe if that one thing didn't happen i might not have had all the blessings i have now!" You have heard the saying "Count your Blessings", it helps in times like this. This has helped me get over my past and look towards a brighter future!
       Hope this helped and if you have anything you are struggling with and need encouragement, comment below. I would be happy to help!
