Why

I wonder why
I hear trust Me
I wonder why now
I hear in My time
I wonder what for
I hear it’s My way
I surrender
I feel comfort and strength


Many times in life I don’t understand God’s ways and how He works. I wonder what is the point of all the pain and the hurt. Then God reminds me of the past, how He has worked out everything before. I can’t say that I understand why God chose to take my brother, but I can say that I trust Him to know what is best for me, my family, and my friends. I can’t say that it doesn’t hurt and there’s not an empty spot in my heart, but I can say that the hope I have gives me comfort and strength to take the next step. I may never know for sure the reason why, but I know for sure that one day I will see my brother in the Place where there will be no pain or death again.

Good-bye but not forever

Where do I start? It seems so abrupt. Not knowing what to say. Hanging on to memories. From playing trucks and cars in the living room to the last good-bye. Wondering what the future would have held if God would have left you here to serve him a little longer. Not understanding why yet, but remembering that God never makes a mistake. It seems weird thinking that you won't be here for Christmas or my wedding or see my kids. It still seems like a bad dream that I will wake up and you will still be here. I miss picking on you and you picking on me. I miss going out to Dillon with the you, Mom, and Dad.

I'm thankful that you gave your life to Jesus before you went. So that one day I can run up behind you and punch your arm and then give you a hug.

I miss you and love you. Tell Papaw hi. See ya later

Arrived Back Safely

Hello everyone
Sorry that I couldn't post while I was gone. I couldn't figure out how to get a @ sign on a Spanish keyboard until I was almost ready to come back to the states, so I figured I would just wait. I have lots of stories and I will try to get a link to my pics which I have over 1000 up soon. I'm not home yet. My cousin and I will be flying from her aunt's house back home tomorrow. I will try to post everything soon. But for now I'm heading to bed.

Summer Plans & Updates

For all of my ten readers, I was just wanting to let you know that I will be leaving next Monday, June 1, 2009 for my missions trip. I'm really excited to go and see what God has in store for me. Please pray for my team and me as we go that God will give us traveling mercies and help us as we minister to those in Guatemala.

If I am able at any point, I will post an update here instead of sending out a mass e-mail. So check back during the month of June to see if I have internet access in Guatemala. I'm doubtful, but you never know. If I am not able to post during the trip, after I get back I will post and also put pictures on.

Hope you all have a wonderful summer.
