So this past weekend I went down to oceanside and as I sat on the beach and enjoyed the beautiful view, I began to think about what an incredible God I love and serve! I mean just look at the ocean and think of how God doesn't allow it to overflow and drown us all. He did promise never to flood the earth again, but still. Isn't that incredible!?! And then I think of all the things that live in the ocean, I mean just as I was sitting there I saw a whole school of dolphins swim by! and then I think of the sky and how he doesn't allow the sun to get to close so that it will melt us but that it is the perfect distance away so that we can have light during the day and the moon by night!!! Think about how amazing this God is.. Then God totally led me to this verse and it kinda in a way convicted me but yet it was encouraging at the same time. Psalm 16:11 says " You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." The thing that stuck out to me was that in His presesnce is fullness of joy. If that is the case, aren't we always in the presence of the Lord? so why aren't we always joyful? I mean I know we are human and can't be but the creation around us should be a reminder of His presence everywhere in our lives. My encouragment to any that read this? Know that you are in the presence of the Lord every moment of every day and continue to be joyful because of who He is!

this makes me sad...
Why doesn't anyone leave comments on my posts? guys you can leave a comment without even having a blog. Really you should try it. Oh yeah but wait, hardly anybody even knows that I have a blog so why would anyone ever post a comment on it??? It's ok my life will continue to go on even if I never have a single comment on the page.....( as I'm crawling to the corner to cry, nobody loves me.)

Hume Lake
Was amazing! It was really nice to just enjoy life for a short period of time and enjoy God's creation. Although the drive up there was 8 hrs and I was cramped in the back of my friend Ian's truck, It was well worth the wait. I got to visit with one of my best friends and just see how God was using and working through her up there! It was really just a sweet time of fellowship with her and with the True Love of my Life, Jesus Christ! I think the thing I will take back with me was the night that we went to Look Out Point. It's this HUGE rock off the side of a cliff that you take blankets to, and lay back on the rock and enjoy the stars and the wonderful beauty of the creation of God! It was truly incredible.... So that was my long weekend get away that I will never forget

Girls are like apples.
I read this and really thought about it, and to be honest with you this lil' poem is generally very true. But I began to question....Why is it true? And you know what my answer was? I have no idea. Maybe it's just because boys are stupid and they just haven't figured it all out yet. Yes, yes, that's the answer.
"Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality they are amazing. They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, The one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree."
Simply stated but oh so true. Hold out for that boy who will climb for you girls!

Fireworks!!!!
Fireworks are the most amazing thing ever created! I wish we had them on every holiday not just 4th of July. But I guess they wouldn't be as special if I saw them all the time right? I've decided that if fireworks were candy they would probably be the best tasting candy in the whole wide world. At the same time though they were kinda depressing this year. See me and my friend both decided that fireworks are better when you have a boyfriend to share them with. Since neither of us have that it was kinda sad :( Instead of sitting with some boy that I would have been totally in love with I was laying on a blanket inbetween my girlfriend Emily and one of my really good friends John. It's just not the same if you know what I mean? I can't wait till I do have that moment with the guy of my dreams and then I can fully enjoy and appreciate fireworks in all of their glory.
