| Hey
It's been awhile since I updated.
I'M ENGAGED!!
Yes, me and Nick are getting married on August 2, 2008. Can't wait!!
I never thought I would ever meet someone like Nick who is everything I could ever want, and is so complimentary to me!
So I've been engaged for about 3 1/2 weeks and we've dived head first into planning! My older Sisters are my Matron's of Honor and they are fabulous!! I couldn't have gottten this much done so quick without them. I bought a dress last weekend, we have the church booked, reception site almost booked and photographer almost booked.

| "Oh, for a heart that does not ache
And a backbone that won't break
For some steady feet or sturdy ground
A road that isnt gonna let me turn around
and run
And to wear wisdom like Solomon's robe
for the patience and perspective of a man like Job
Just to soar on wings of Eagles
for no other reason
Than the bird's eye view
For a flight or two
And the list gets longer
Who I wish I was and was no longer
I was never good enough to measure up
But you want to take me as I come
You're the only one who can
Take me as I am
To feel hope in hopeless times
Never mind the silver lining
Cuz the clouds are fine
To Breathe prayers that move the heavens or save hundreds from the flames
To know my place, to know my name
But the Gap grows wider
Between who I really am and all I aspire to be
At the end of myself, at the end of the day
I can find little else but the courage to say
I need you
Thats all
I need you"
-Take me as I am

I'll never forget the first time I heard this song. A friend who graduated college with me read it one day. She was comparing it the roller coaster she was on in life, I had never heard the song before but it was so true to what I was feeling as I grew up and into a real life.
As I came to seminary, this song helped me identify exactly(well not really but close) what was going on on in my head and in my heart
Wow, in the last two years my life has done a 180, a couple times. And I have a few more months too.(of seminary)
Well, Here goes again. The church I've been working at for the past month and a half, and poured my life and heart into, didn't work out(for me to be there). So here I am, God uses hard situations to sometimes humble us. Or maybe....I don't know.............
And I'm not caring too much about myself right now, it's the kids in the church and the well being of the church that hurts my heart
Any words of encouragement?

So, next Sunday will be my first day at Richland Hills Baptist Church. I'm excited about this, I have been wanting for so long to serve somewhere that I can make all the dreams and ideas in my head real. But I'm still kinda nervous because I've really never been the one in charge of something like this. But I know it will work out, and I thank and praise God that this is not about me.
So, Nick and I have been together about 5 months. It has gone by quickly. Although, somtimes there are things that you want to go by quickly, and it seems that they go by slowly just to spite you. And then when you want it to go by slowly, it goes by quickly.
This summer I was only interning part time, I wasn't taking any classes. And for the past two weeks I have not been working, only going to class. So this is my last week of that. It'll be good, I've been a little lazy. It doesn't make sense, but somehow when I'm busy, my life flows a little better. I get things done, and I kinda feel a little better. I'm weird I know

| Time for another post. Life is good. I just finished my internship with Acton Baptist church in Granbury. I won't miss driving 45 minutes to get there. I may start working for a church in Richland Hills soon.
Nick and I have been together for close to 5 months now. I could go on and on but I know no one wants to hear all the gushy details.
So, let me take you through this last little journey God has been taking me through, ofcourse the little journey but we're always on the big journey. I'll describe it in my conversation with God:
"God, I'm Scared"
"I am the maker of the heavens"
"What if it doesn't work?"
"I am the bright and morning star"
"What if they don't like me?"
"I am the breath of all creation, who always was, and is to come."
"What if I am not strong enough?"
"I am the one who walked on water"
"I can't do this on my own"
"I am the one who calmed the seas"
"God, this doesn't make sense"
"I am miracles and wonders"
"
So come and see
And follow me
You will know
I am the fount of living water
The risen Son of Man
The healer of the broken
And when you cry
I am your Savior and Redeemer
Who bore the sins of man
The author and perfecter
Beginning and the end
I am
I am the Spirit deep inside you
I am the Word upon your heart
I am the One who even knew you
Before your birth
Before you were
Before the Earth (I am)
The universe (I am)
In every heart (I am)
Oh, where you are (I am)
The Lord of love (I am)
The King of Kings (I am)
The Holy Lamb (I am)
Above all things
Yes, I am almighty God your Father
The risen Son of Man
The healer of the broken
And when you cry
I am your Savior and Redeemer
Who bore the sins of man
The author and perfecter
Beginning and the end
I am"

| HI!
I'm still alive, I know it's hard to believe!
So I am not working for James Mallory anymore, I'm starting to find out what life is like without being stressed out beyond belief everyday.
I'm interning at a church(children's ministry)in Granbury this summer. It's been wonderful! I love it!
And there's a guy I've been dating for about 3 months now. Ya, I'm in love. It's kinda crazy!!
So, how's everyone?
