Words that have Touched My life

Today I have been downloading some new CDS Adam had bought me while I was gone and one of CDs was a Shane and Shane CD. If you have never heard of Shane and Shane GO RIGHT NOW and BUY A CD. Their words and music are from the Lord and are so rich in His Truth! They have been medicine for my soul today!
Anyways I was reading their CD jacket and came across these words they wrote. Ponder them, meditate on them, they have met me right where I am at right now! I pray the Bless you!

“Jesus, who seems way too good to be true, is the greatest taste we have ever known. So, may all that we hold so dear leave us appetized, at best, for HIM who created it- the Author and Fulfiller of Life and Pleasure. Who, no matter how shiny “things” become, out shines them, and no matter how cloudy our days become, outlasts them. For in Him, Clouds become glorious!(Romans 8:28) Their rain falls with Grace and we are flooded under the downpour of a Fallen world (Romans 8:20). Wet, Hurt, and ….. Satisfied. Blue skies are no longer our pursuit and sunny days no longer our reward.. HE IS!!! And HE IS BETTER!!!”

Chronicle 3: North Carolina

By far this has been the best week of the trip. I had to drive about 3 hours every day to get to the city I was assigned to and it was by far the most beautiful drive I have ever been on. The pictures will speak for themselves. Although this was the best part of the trip it was also the loneliest time of the trip. The Lord for the last several months has been teaching me perserverance, well this week was all about perserverance in my current circumstances as well as relationships. I am so thankful for the lessons he has been teaching me on this trip... there are too many to write about.

I went to the Billy Graham Training Center and this is the Chapel

The ultimate North Carolina picture! I love this state!

Chronicle 2: Dayton, OH

Well once I left Houston I was able to have the weekend off and travel to Dayton for my friends wedding. Adam got to meet me up there as well as my parents. Although it was basically a 48 hour trip it was really refreshing to be with my family and friends. I got my hair done my the famous Craig, he made me blonde again, which I know makes everyone in my family happy :). I suprised Adam on Saturday and rented him a car so he could drive to Columbus to see our friend's Bill and Amee's new baby Sam! I was really jeolous but knew Adam really wanted to see him. He took plenty of pictures for me so I was content. We then were introduced to the Wii games and I schooled everyone in Bowling, well I didn't come in last which happens most of the time when I play games. :) We had fun, thanks Henry and Cathy for letting us play! After that we got all dressed up and went to my dear friend Brittany's wedding. She looked beautiful and I got to see people I hadn't seen since high school graduation as well as some sorority sisters. It was a nice suprise. On Sunday Adam and my parents left and I got to spend some time with my friend Shannon, it was great Girl Time!!! I love ya girl!
I really don't know why I giving you all a play by play... sorry if you are bored. Here are some pics from the weekend.

Apparently this is my future son-in-law.... Adam says we have to have a girl some day!

This isn't the best picture but this is our attempt at making a picture on the way to the wedding!

Houston Part 2

I completely forgot my favorite part of Houston was getting to spend some time with my family. The past 3 years working for Revolve I have traveled a lot but none of my cities have taken me close to my family so I jumped at the chance to spend some time with my family when I was in Houston. Here are some pics of our night! By the way these guys are very dear to my heart, Houston and Hannah you know you always will have a place at our house! Love you guys!
