God's Plan

There is a verse in Proverbs 19:21 which says " Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand." This verse is so true in so many ways! The time we have left in Fort Worth is short. The packing and moving plans have me thinking a lot about God's plan and when we first moved here. I didn't really like the fact we had moved here, for a little while anyway! That move changed my life. I left everything I knew and love behind. It's hard to believe that was five years ago! I've come so far since then. I truly believe if God hadn't called us here I wouldn't be half the person I am today. Living here has presented its share of challenges but I also had a lot of great opportunities to grow spiritually! Not to mention some the wonderful people I met while I was living here! I only have one regret. I wish I could take back the time I was angry or upset about why I had to move here. Don't get me wrong it's the hardest thing to visit your family and old friends and then to say goodbye but I am now able to realize it was all in God's wonderful plan! I have also learned that God's plan isn't always easy to follow but if you plant yourself firm in scripture and listen to the will of God you can understand his plan better (this doesn't mean everything will be easy)! I am very happy I had five years to spend here and have opportunities which are amazing! I'm definately going to miss it but I know it's all in Gods plan! I am very excited about the move to Red Springs and can't wait for the next chapter in my life!

God has LOTS on my heart!

God is truly AMAZING! I'm learning so much about myself spiritualy. I love spending quiet time with God. That's one of the most important parts of my day. God has been laying a lot on my heart during my quiet times. I had been asking for a purity ring for a while. In November my parents took me out for a special dinner and surprised me with a purity ring! Even though it was only a few months ago when I recieved my ring I am learning a lot about that decision! I've learned that it's not only my comittment to God. It is my comittment to myself , my parents, my family, friends, and my Christian brothers and sisters! I am learning that my purity comittment also has lots to do with the way I live my life. I am trying my absolute best to fill my head and heart with Godly things instead of filth from the world. I am begining to truly indulge in Gods word! I never realized how much help daily Bible reading and prayer could help in my life I am now realizing it in a BIG way! I am so thankful to my entire family and friends for every bit of support they give me! Most of all I want to thank my parents for standing by me in every decision that I make! I love both of you so much! I am so greatful that God truly blessed me with parents that love me, love God, and teach me how to have a good relationship with God. I understand that others aren't as blessed as I am so I love both of you!!

About Me

About me! I am twelve years old and I love the Lord My God with all my heart. I have an amazing family. I'll start by telling you about my parents and then oldest to youngest sisters! My parents are my inspiration and my guide to life other than God! They amaze me everyday with their love for each other! They have four daughters. I'm the first of the four! The next is Sallie. She is 8. She is the most amazing kid ever and she helps me out in many ways. She teaches everyone what life is all about. She was born hearing impared (not deaf). She loves life and is full of joy and if everyone were like her, wow things would be different! The next little girl is Lizzie. She is 3 and more like me than I care to admit! She is very mature and I love her. Although sometimes we argue I love her and she loves me! The last little girl is Millie. She is 2 and was a surprise to all of us! She is exactly 12 months 2 weeks younger than Lizzie! She is definately the baby of the family! All my sisters are sweet and we all love each other and have special relationships with each other! My hope for this blog is to express the way I see things and also throw in a little bit about what it's like to be the oldest of four sisters and daughter of a wonderful stay at home mom and my wonderful dad who is a pastor. I am ready to embark on my blogging adventures and I hope you all enjoy hearing what I have to say!
