"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,present your requests to God. And the peace of God that transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Phil. 4:6-7
"Be joyful always,pray continually;give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thess. 5:16-18
These verses reminded me today that God knows the desires of my heart and in His time, things will come together, and that no matter what I have going on or how hard things seem, God is in control and He has called me to find joy always!
We went to the wedding of our friends Molly and Eddie last night. I smiled at my dear husband as the vows were being said. Always good to get a reminder of the promises you made to one another :) Congrats Mr and Mrs Brown! We love you guys!

Time Flies
Ok, so time is seriously flying. Maybe it is just me because I want this year to be over with, but I cannot believe we are almost in October. Next week my "niece" will be 1. I can still remember being at work when Tara went into labor! I am looking forward to the fall season. Lots of fun stuff going on...my birthday, Halloween, Kadee and Kevin's wedding, and Thanksgiving. I try not to get all sappy when I think of all the stuff my dad is missing because I know he is here, just in a different way. I have been reminded more and more of how blessed I am in spite of the great sadness that I feel. My husband has been so sweet lately ( maybe he did something wrong, right? jk) and I love our time we spend together. As we approach the holidays, I am trying to focus on the positive things in my life and stress only over the things I can control. Easier said than done if you know me at all, but I am definitely going to try. :)

This week...
This week isn't even over yet and I am done with it! So much to do, so little time. Did I mention I have not one but TWO weddings to be in? For a grand total of four showers, two bachelorette parties, two rehearsal dinners, and two weddings! OMG! On top of work and soon, school. Oh well...at least it is fun stuff, most of the time...:) It is almost my birthday!! I can't believe I will be 25. That's like, almost thirty. Haha. On a totally different topic, I came home the other night and was really missing my dad. I had gotten pneumonia and was unable to go to the last night of the Harvest Crusade which was about hope for the hurting. I found it online as a webcast and decided to watch it. Bad idea. Oh man the tears were a flowing. But it was good also because there really was a great message of hope. The thing I keep remembering from it was something Greg Laurie said. He said that the depth of sorrow is an indication of the depth of love. If that is the case, then I must love my dad A LOT. It is the little things that help me get though this. A random text from a friend, just checkin on me. A random message from a long lost friend that warms my heart. A hug from my amazing hubby. I am so very grateful for those of you, and you know who you are, who reach out to me, even when you don't know what to say.
