Blessings.

     Today I realized how important this blogging is for me. I need to write down what God is doing in my life because I start to forget! I had to look back on his promises he has given to me that yes, he does have great plans for me.(Jeremiah 29:11)  He does love me and has chosen me, pursued me from the time I was little. (Ephesians 1:4-5)

     I feel very blessed to have the friends that I have. The Lord has special plans for each one of us. These friendships are rooted and established in the Lord so they are for eternity. These friendships are different than any friendships I have had before. We can all be so raw and real with each other.

     My husband, my best friend. :) I am thankful for him, for the man of God that he is! One of the things that I really admire about him is that he wants what is right and what God has called us to do. It blows my mind of how much wisdom he has. He is always looking out for everyone else. He is a servant. I am excited for what the Lord has for us and for all the adventures we get to go on together with Him.

     I am so thankful for Jackie. I don't know where I would be today if it wasn't for her, seriously. When I moved home two years ago I started talking to her because I knew she loved Jesus and I knew Jesus is what I needed and Jesus was pursuing me and He was using Jackie to get to me! :) She took me under her 'wing' and we have been best friends since then. This friendship has also been really hard for both of us but it is so worth working our differences out.  I really love her. <3 OH AND BY THE WAY, WE ARE COUSINS! haha. ;) She also introduced me to my wonderful husband :) Jackie is full of joy, she is exuberant for the Lord and I am always delighted to see what God is doing in her, taking her to the higher places. :)

     Carly. She is so encouraging and I have loved seeing her grow and be obedient to what the Lord has called her to do. Jesus is totally romancing her and I can just see her falling in love with Him more and more. I am extremely excited for her next few months with her adventure with Jesus. She is such a light. I am always being blown away by how the Lord is using her.

     Nikki. I have loved becoming friends with her. She is an inspiration to me. Always full of Joy! I love seeing her passion for the youth. Her heart is for the Lord and what His will is. Obedient. She is such a light to everyone she knows. She is someone you look at and you know she is different, she has that glow to her. That radiance.

     Jr and these girls mean so much to me. I can call them my best friends. They all hold a very, very special place in my heart. They all are handsome & beautiful inside and out. They radiate Jesus. They are obedient. They are men & women of God.

     Glendive Alliance Church is a special place. I feel blessed having seen this church transformed. From the old church on Clay street with maybe 100-150 people? to building the church on Highland Park Road with 500 people in service over Easter weekend. Now God has called us to build a new church. Our church has purchased land right across the street. I am eager for the building process to begin. I cannot wait to see what the Lord is going to do with our church. Our congregation is also very blessed to have the pastor we have, the worship pastor, and all the elders. They all love the Lord very much and want His will only.

I am glad this blog turned into My Blessings. :) Everyone needs to be reminded every once in awhile of how special you are to someone. I love you all!
