They get it...

On Sunday mornings a lot of people who pass by my room think that what I do is babysitting for two hours. I beg to differ and would debate it with anyone. I have the privilege every Sunday to tell Preschoolers about my sweet Jesus & lead them in praise and worship. GiGL (growing in God's love) is what I do. It's what I'm passionate about. It's what I love. Sharing God's love with the precious little ones who come through my doors each week. Today The Lord gave me several sweet reminders of how they get it. Of how He works in their little hearts. Of how they are experiencing His love at such a young age.

It came in the form of a little girl who hugged my neck and whispered..."I'm going to shine my light at my cheerleading practice today." You see....that's what we've been teaching them these last couple of weeks. That they can shine their lights. Even at a young age.

It also came through Kindergartner telling me she didn't want to go to JUMP in three weeks.

The last way The Lord used one of them was through a little boy in my backseat. I had the Passion Awakening CD playing and when Crowders' song He loves us came on sweet Kason was belting the chorus at the top of his lungs. It didn't stop there. He continued to sing Our God is greater by Tomlin too. You could see it all over his face. He was praising

My thoughts today....

Living a life that is above reproach is the only way to live...

Looking back in my journal it's funny how my prayers for someone else have been answered...

People are mean & hurtful.... love them anyway...

There is freedom in forgiveness...

Your friends are most likely always going to be right...

Settling is not an option...

Showing Christ's love is worth it all....

It's better to have loved than to not have loved at all...

Falling out of love is the hardest thing I've had to do...

Healing really is in Your hands....

Romans 8:37

"Now in all things we know that we are more than conquerers through Him who loves us."

Wedding Fun...

This weekend my friend Katherine got married. We were in a small group together for two years and she is a precious friend to me. Sadly, I didn't get a picture of the bride and groom but trust me they are a total Ken & Barbie couple! She was a breathtaking bride, the ceremony was so sweet and the music was amazing! Here are some pictures from the day...yes, I realize you are seeing the same blue dress again...sorry about that. It's the only one in my closet that fits me right now! Hope y'all had a great weekend!!

Table Top Tapestry...

Last night the Women's ministry at Second Baptist Church West Campus hosted Table Top Tapestry. This is one of the neatest things that they do! You kind of have to be apart of it to understand it. Each table is decorated by an individual and let me tell y'all...some of them are just fabulous! I got the privilege of being apart of the praise team & decorating one too for the evening & loved every second of it! Here are some pictures from the night.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

My roommate is getting married in June so last weekend we headed out for some good girl times! We went to Lucky Strike bowling alley to celebrate Britt's last month of being single! Her and Mark have a really sweet story and it has been so neat to see how The Lord has blessed them as a couple. They dated two years ago, broke up and Britt always felt like Mark was the man God had for her. Such a great story of The Lord's faithfulness in their lives! Can't wait to be apart of the special day!

I was showing off my dress & bowling shoes....
