Just wanted to write on here since it has been such a long time since I have done so. Things for me are going pretty well. Things are still a tad bit busy and everything. Been serving God and just been busy hanging out with friends and fellowshiping with others growing in my faith and walk with Christ. It is amazing. I love every minute of it. It can be tiring at times but is all worth it to know you are touching others people's lives and instilling God's truth into others. Nothing more rewarding than that.

Hard to believe how much has changed for me since I started this site a little more than a year ago. The places I have been the paths I have been on it is amazing. I have grown so much in my faith and in so many other areas of my life. During the broken moments and hard times it hasn't been easy but I also know that I have gained so much from those moments and learned so much. I have grown in just my service to Christ. I am still serving in the children's ministry at my church working with 2nd graders and it so amazing to watch these kids grow. It can be difficult when you get that child who doesn't always like to listen but you know that they are their and you have no idea what truths might be being instilled into that child's life. I am also looking to become more involved in Vintage the college aged-young adult ministry at our church. Personally working with people my own age terrifies me however I know that is where God wants me and where I am being led to and I am intrusting Him to give me all I need to do this. He has equipped me in everything else so why wouldn't He do the same thing now. Christ never fails that is some wisdom I have gained over the five years I have known Christ personally.

God has blessed in me in so many other ways too. I can come out and say this now because it is something that has made me so happy and I am so blessed by it. I have now for six months been seeing such an amazing and wonderful guy. He is wonderful and we met in the children's ministry. He is such a wonderful person who loves me for who I am and he sees me for the beauty that I have on the inside. He is so encouraging to me and he lifts me up in my walk with Christ which is such an important thing. I could never be with someone who was pulling me away from Christ. Christ is at the center of our relationship and that is what keeps it going. We use this relationship to glorify God and bring glory to His name showing other people what a relationship centered around Christ looks like. We have our moments at the end of the day though my love for him far outweighs anything else. We work through things and it is just so amazing. Through this relationship I want to show other girls and even guys to not settle for anything less than what God has for them. Don't just go out with the best looking person because you don't like being single wait for that right person because it is well worth it. I have in my past been in relationships where guys treated me horribly and it just wasn't great. I was being beat down verbally and it was bad. It is not worth it to get involved with someone so you can just be with someone. In our singleness we need to devote ourselves to Christ fully and that is what I did. I began to serve God and honor Him and devoted my time to Him and then Rob came into my life and it was well worth it. All of those other broken and painful relationships have shown me that love is such a beautiful and amazing thing when with the right person. So keep that in mind don't settle. You deserve the very best and that is what God wants for you.

I think that is everything for now. Hope everyone is doing well. Continue walking with Christ giving Him all the glory. He loves you. He died for you. By the way I changed the layout in the graphics portion of this site. Enjoy!!!

He is amazing and if we call ourselves believers we need to be giving Christ our everything. We need to be surrendering all to Him. Their is no half way. You are either for Christ or against. You cannot live for both Christ and the world. You need to decide what is truly important to you. For me I want to be completely and totally honoring Him with all that I am. I want to place Him first and above all else. He is my love and my life my everything!!!! How about you? Christ has a crazy and amazing love for us that is neverending. Why wouldn't we want to live for Him? I know I do.

Once I got back from the Dominican I came down with mono and that had me out for quite a little bit. I had to miss almost an entire week of work it was crazy! Let me tell if you have never had mono you are lucky. It isn't that fun. I was exhausted and I am finally now getting back.

My life has been absolutely amazing though. God has blessed me so much!!! Although at times can get a little bit crazy I know that I can completely trust God and know that everything is in His hands. Anyways I hope all is well for everyone else and I will ttyl.

Anyways I hope that everyone has an amazing and wonderful Christmas. And remember to keep in mind and perspective why we celebrate Christmas. It isn't about the gifts, the music, the specials that are on or anything like that it is all about Jesus. We celebrate because of the birth of Jesus, God coming down in the flesh so He one day could save the world and take our sins on the cross. That is why we celebrate. Their is nothing wrong with having a good time or giving gifts to others or any of that we just need to keep in mind why we celebrate so we don't lose sight of what it really is about. The most amazing and ultimate gift is Jesus Himself. Nothing else can compare or take His place.

So I probably won't be posting again until after I get back from my trip to the Dominican Republic. Please be praying for me that God uses me how He wants to. I will be there for a week and I am ready to see what God does in me. I know I will come back changed. I cannot wait!!! Till then Merry CHRISTmas and Happy New Year!!!

So anyways I had another pretty life changing moment with God this past weekend. I went on a retreat with our Vintage group over the weekend to Circle C Ranch. A Christ centered campground and God just moved so mightily in my life. He basically moved me to delete every artist off of my ITUNES/IPOD that wasn't Christian related. I still have a few bands but not many. God spoke to me and said that You want me to be the Lord of your life and that means you need to let me be the Lord of your music as well. I was like dang! So I did that and deleted a bunch of stuff. I have mostly been listening to Christian music anyways. But I came back from this 24 hour retreat changed and conformed more into God's likeness.

Anyways tonight is a Vintage night and I am so excited. Cannot wait!!! Love Vintage ready for it as always!!!

Thanks for everyone for tuning in. TTYL.

Had the first meeting about the mission's trip on Sunday very excited about that as well. I can already tell that God is going to be using me in such a huge way there. It is going to be amazing!!! I can tell.

And before I go I need to highly recommend that everyone picks up the new CHris Tomlin album "Hello Love" it is absolutely amazing!!!! One of the best cds I have ever heard!!!

Also I just got a bunch more new cds through BMG's Sound and Spirit music club and I must say I absolutely love this group House of Heroes. This other group Everyday Sunday is pretty awesome too!!!!!

So in a way to prepare myself for the missions trip I am taking an Introduction to Evangelism class at my church The Chapel. It should be an interesting time and I am looking forward to learning more about my faith and all that. I will feel as though I am back in school though because it is a college level course and it is serious stuff.

If I have to suggest checking something I have to highly recommend to you all to check out the bands Seventh Day Slumber and Thousand Foot Krutch. Just got their cds from Sound and Spirit and these cds are amazing.

Also if you live in the Western New York area and are interested in helping my friend and me on our way for our missions trip check out MB's Treats and buy some chocolate. All money goes towards the trip and any little bit will be grateful. God will reward your faithfulness too.

That is all for now. TTYL.
