God of Wonders....

Life... sometimes it can be so overwhelming and it seems like when you are at your wits end and caught up in all the things that dont matter our God of wonders lets you know its time to relax, trust in him and remember everything thats important in this life.

This past week I have felt so exhausted trying to deal with life, being away from my family and close friends, frusterated with all of the house hunting, trying to figure out my new role at work, not spending enough time with my husband and being completely consumed with thoughts and prayers for my baby sister when finally it hit me, none of these things are mine to worry about and INSTEAD I should be focusing on what is really important, and all of the many blessing I have recieved.

Thank you father for the roof over my head, for the job that I you have provided me with, for my wonderful friends, that encourage me and are there for me, even though I know i dont always keep in the best touch with you all but I know you are there when I need you. Cissie I have been thinking a lot about the last few years and how thanful I am for our many memories growing up, you are and always will be so special to me, and I cant wait until we can get together again someday, this time as married woman and rekindle that friendship.

My family that are some of the most amazing and Godly people I have ever met in my entire life. I am so Thankful for you and the example you have been to me and everyone that has been blessed enough to meet you.

and finally for my amazing husband. How blessed I am to have you in my life, I love you now and forever and thank Jesus for you every single day.

Promotion to TRAINER!

So this has been a very busy past few weeks! Last Saturday after our other senior trainer had her very last day at work my supervisor sat me down and gave me a promotion to trainer! It was pretty exciting since it has only been a year and a half since I started working there and it usually takes people over 2 for their promotion! On the flip side of all that she also made me second in charge of my department, its a tough situation since I skipped over two other girls to get there but i guess my bossiness paid off:) I would appriciate all of your thoughts and prayers as I attempt this next chapter in my life!

Here are a few pictures flying our bat Bacardi:) What a nice landing:)
