It is funny how God puts people in you life to inspire you to do or not to do things. I think I may take up blogging and see how it turns out. I feel like God has been really working in me and I'd like to use this blog as a way to keep track of that growth. O.k. so this week has been a rough week we had found out my driving record had tons of offenses on it that I never committed so we've been paying extra for insurance since Quinton and I have been married, there have been a few disagreements between Quinton and I, I found out my scholarship funds may be getting pulled, and at one point we thought Quinton wouldn't be getting a reenlistment bonus that would have meant no wedding. Well let me say TO GOD BE THE GLORY. I have been growing so much closer to God these past few weeks and man does it feel AMAZING. For the first time in my life I really knew what it meant when people say to trust God and He will take care of things. I prayed to God that He would take care of it. I also said that I knew it wasn't Him causing these issues but Satan trying to attack me and I wasn't going to blame Him for it but praise Him for everything He has blessed us with so far. I learned in discipleship about the Holy Spirit being able to intercede in prayer for you when you don't have the words to say that in that time of turmoil when you can't speak the Holy Spirit knows what to say to God for you and it was funny because that same day I was able to apply it. I broke down in tears and just cried and cried and it was so comforting that God was able to hear my unspoken words. I have also been reading in Job and it is amazing to know that Job went through way more than I have ever gone through but yet in the midst of it all he still praised God. It touched me when God was talking to Satan after he had attacked Job and how highly God spoke of Job. He said he was perfect and to me that was so miraculous that just because Job was faithful to the Lord God praised him. It made me think of the day I stand before the Lord and how much I would love to hear my Lord say, "Well done my good and faithful servant, well done." I want to live life with no regrets and I never want to wish I would have done more. What I have been doing to hopefully accomplish this is I have been doing discipleship weekly and making every effort to make it to every church service. The hardest thing I have been doing is watching my tongue. For such a small part of the body the tongue can have such a detrimental effect. I have been making every effort to use my tongue to only speak good things. I have seen so many people hurt by words alone and I want to make every effort I can to not be that person. I have also signed up to volunteer at Habitat for Humanity and Big Brothers Big Sisters I just hope the Lord uses me. I would love to make volunteering my ministry since with Quinton being in the Air Force we really can't go to a different state or country. You know what though I have seen such a need for the gospel hear in Missouri and I just hope I can meet that need. Well I will update you again soon with what the Lord has done in my life.
