Its been a long time since I've written on here. Crazy how that happens. I just wanted to write a little bit about what God has been teaching me lately. I have to admit since I've been here at Emmaus, I feel like God has constantly been trying to teach me things. He has been trying to teach me to be content at where I am at in life. He has been trying to teach me that I can have joy all the time because of the Lord. Its not based on circumstances. It is joy that flows from an intimate relationship with the Him. So often I try to find  joy in other things, such as  people, relationships, and so many other things. But I am always reminded that those things can only temporarily make me happy. I'm so thankful for Jesus Christ. I am such a sinner and He still loves me. He still wants to be with me and help me. His mercy and grace are overwhelming. I'm so far from being where I want to be in my relationship with Jesus, but praise God, I can be confident of this, that he who began a good work in me will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

My brother Andy is getting married on October 7th! I cannot believe how quick it is coming. I am so, so, so happy for my brother. I am so thankful for my family. :). My oldest brother Danny is such a great testimony. He is so patient and such a good worker, and I know he loves Jesus. My brother Andy is growing and maturing. I can see God working in his life. My brother Matt has been such a blessing here at Emmaus. He loves God so much, and he loves people. I love my brothers! I don't even think they know how much I look up to them. I am so thankful they are christians. I love my mom and dad too. They have always pointed us to God, their lives are a light for God. I am so proud to have them as parents. God is so good. 

Wow it has been such a long time since I have updated this. sorry. I am now at Emmaus  Bible College and the first week of school is done. I am loving it here, the people are very nice,Matt is here too and that has been such a blessing. I am liking my classes a lot. I'm learning new things that I didn't know from the bible and it helps me understand Gods word more, so that is cool. I'm so thankful for Jesus. His love is so overwhelming. Even when I'm half-hearted or just a rotten sinner, he loves me. I really feel like I am where God wants me, and that is so awesome. There is nothing like being in Gods will.
