My BEST FRIEND

Blogging with my best friend is one of my favorite things ever. Spending time together and brainstorming together..........we laugh about crazy things.......we support each other. I am so blessed to have her in my life. Her favorite verse is Genesis 3:19 "By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

This is our first picture as best friends. I wouldn't trade anything to have her in my life and especially now. I love that she's at Georgia Southern and that she's in Statesboro."A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity." Proverbs 17:17

I couldn't do life without her by my side helping me and encouraging me along the way. Here are 5 reasons why she is my best friend.

1) She knows me better than anyone
2) She brings out the best in me
3) We have similar interests
4) We played tennis together when I was in 8th grade
5) We accept each other for who we really are

God has blessed me with the world's greatest best friend

God bless,

Christmas! Christmas! CHRISTMAS!!!

CHRISTMAS IS ALMOST HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited because this and Easter are my two absolute favorite holidays.

Because of something that happened thousands of years ago....................I had a Savior come rescue me and save me. Also the best part is He saved you too. Yes......YOU!!!! If you are reading this Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior SAVED YOU from your sins.


Christmas is when Jesus was born so we celebrate his birth, and Easter is when He died on the cross BUT resurrected on the third day.

How incredible is that????? " 'For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manager.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased.'" Luke 2:11-14 (ESV)


Now don't get me wrong I love presents and all that stuff but I also love giving presents. Operation Christmas Child is an amazing opportunity to give a gift to a child in another country who wouldn't have a Christmas without this organization.

That is my number one FAVORITE thing to be apart of around this time of year. I don't get anything in return but I get the blessing feeling of knowing that a child or even more than one child is getting a Christmas present AND hearing about Jesus Christ. I mean how awesome is that?????

My favorite Christmas movie is The Polar Express with Tom Hanks. Oh my gosh I watch it every Christmas multiple times because I just love it so much. It's such a sweet story and I love Tom Hanks anyway (I also love Forrest Gump----another Tom Hanks movie).

What is your favorite Christmas movie? What do you like to do around the holidays?

Have a Merry CHRISTmas,

God bless,

Sophomore Year Round 1

Well my first Sophomore semester is done and over........
                                     

Campus Outreach has been the biggest blessing ever! SO many people to lean on for support when I need it. They always lead me back to God and let me know when I need to straighten up.

Started going to a new church in Statesboro and it has been incredible. The pastor is so amazing and the music really helps me know that God is there.

Halloween was so much fun!!! I was Mary Poppins this year and if I do say so myself I think I did pretty well with the costume.


I could go on and on about everything this semester, but the main person I want to talk about..........is.............GOD!!!!!!!

God has been so incredible and has blessed me so much this semester. I wouldn't be where I am now if He wasn't in my life. Campus Outreach and Connection Church are just tools God uses to lead me back to Him. I have been tried this semester and it's been very hard, however, I've come out stronger because of it.

God has blessed me with an amazing family!! My little nephew is so amazing and just watching him grow and grow has been a true blessing. Nothing is better than a new miracle of life and know that God has big plans for him. He also has big plans for me.

I have been tested with my faith this semester and I pray that God has been glorified through it. Now it's nothing like the movie God Is Not Dead, thankfully, but I want people to see Christ through me and my writing.

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas,

God bless,
