Oh dear

So I failed at being a friend yesterday. I definitely forgot to wish my 21 year old friend a fantastic birthday.
I would just like to remind her that love her, thank God everyday for the blessing she is to my life.
Hope you had a fantastic and wonderful day!!
Happy birthday!

Sunshine

Also I thought I would put it out there that although in 3 degrees the sun is out and shinning, I worked out this morning, and the wedding invitations are done! It's going to be a great day!

56 days!

Lately I have realized how much I love Andy. I know that seems like a silly statement because I am getting married to him soon! And it's not that I didn't love him before because I have but it's different. It's how it was in the beginning again.
I think the past year has been tough on the both of us. It was like as soon as we got back from Liberty God did so many amazing things for us, one right after another, that you would have thought that this past year would have been the year we grew exponentially in our faith's but I feel like it was the opposite, now I can't speak for Andy, but that is how it was for me anyways. It was like as soon as I got back into a swing of life here, with work and school and all that stuff I sorta left God by the way side. It wasn't that I didn't go to church or that I still didn't know He was my Savior or anything but I wasn't truly living for Him I was living for me. I read my Bible but not like I should have, more just to check that box in the morning. I definitely did not wake up every morning amazed by God's grace, I just thought about work and school and all that I had to get done that day. And I think it definately had a strain on my relationship with Andy. Not in anyway that ever caused us to ever not want to be together but I just love him differently when I am not loving Jesus. I think I was a lot more critical and just plain stressed out. It was almost like our relationship had grown stagnant. Even though we were planning a wedding and moving towards a life together, our relationship really wasn't moving anywhere. But then recently I have come back to Jesus, not that I ever strayed very far away, but it was enough that I could feel the difference in myself. And let me tell you, the past few weeks has just been like falling for Andy all over again. It's like when I open myself back up to God's love, I can let myself love Andy completely for the godly, wonderful man he is. I can fully appreciate the fact the he is the man that God gave me to spend the rest of my life with, and honestly I am so thankful for that. 
He is such blessing from God to me and I am so excited to spend the rest of my life with him and honestly I know that we are going to do great things for the Lord together and that just outweighs any stress.

Blogging

I felt like I should blog, but I am really not sure what I should blog about.
I have writers block, which I didn't know was possible for someone who doesn't even really write.
ioohenfdslksdvnsvmnsdfpo0qrlksdvmnsdmvnkjasdnfk;jsfdlkj----that is what my brain feels like right now.

I think for some reason this is all my brain can squeeze out right now...it's very mushy.

The Sargents.

That was probably the best weekend I have had in a really long time. I feel like I have been so caught up in life lately it was sooo nice to just have a weekend to kick back and relax and it helped that you and Elijah were there too. I simply can not wait for you guys(if Elijah is coming too) to come back in two months so we can have even more fun! Oh and tell your brother if he does come it is required that he does the worm at least one time! I think our t-shirts is my most favorite thing ever. It is simply amazing and everytime I wear it I think of you!

So I just stumbled upon an entire drawer of pajamas that I had completely forgotten about. Like had no idea I even owned them until I saw them in that drawer, and I thought it was interesting that our brains can just completely shut things out like that. "out of sight, out of mind" is probably one of the most true cliche's ever. And as I was thinking about that I realized how much I can do that with my walk with God. When things get stressful and crazy, or I think that I can do things my way because I know soo much(not). I can just completely shove God out, not read my bible, do everything, and hide Him in my pajama drawer. I can to continue doing things my own way. But unlike a drawer full of pajamas that can sit and rot, our God lives, breaths, and moves in our lives, He continually pursues us until we come back to him, and the most beautiful part is that no matter how long we shoved God into our forgotten pajama drawer He is there to open his arms and welcome us back. How beautiful and wonderful is that?!!? That we have a God that wants us to be his, that wants us to have a relationship with Him. He wants to work through us, us who are completely unworthy of anything, to spread His Light throughout the world!

God is just way to cool!
