Peace in the Midst of a Storm

"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." Colossians 3:15

This verse has been such an encouragement to me when I am tempted to take my eyes off the Lord and put them on my circumstances, namely my upcoming boards starting this Saturday and continuing through June. Christ has been All-Sufficient, Omniscient, and my Strength during the last four years of college, and He will continue as such. For He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
And for this, I am grateful.

Take a deep breath. . .

So many things are up in the air!!! And these are perty big things that had better be resolved soon. . . I find myself getting anxious about these things. But then I am reminded of how I am even here (the DH program) in the first place. God has everything in control and "all things work together for good to those who love" Him. I just need to take a deep breath and rest in the peace of God.

The countdown has begun

Seth helped me make a countdown chain for how many weeks of school I have left. Every Friday I will have the great pleasure seeing this chain get shorter and shorter until there are none left. Oh happy day!

24 weeks (including Spring break!) and counting. . . : )

Christmas Day!

Wath out! My brothers are loaded! : )

Grandpa gave me Journey earrings to match my necklace

Seth loves his Transformers!

Jesh enjoys his Chevron firetruck!

Grandpa and our Grandma-to-be


Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

More Snow!

First Snow!

Christmas Preparations

I love putting our Christmas tree up and carefully arranging all the lights and decorations on it! We did this today while we watched one of the Christmas Classics, It's a Wonderful Life.
Christmas is in the air, and I am reminded of our Savior's perfect gift to us.
