Thankful for Fridays!

Hey there everyone! I am so thankful it's Friday! It's been an awesome week! God is so incredible and He's shown Himself so faithful this week! He's answered so many prayers! I have a calendar on my desk with a different scripture everyday, and today's is:

"And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it." 1 Corinthians 10:13

It's funny that this verse was for today, because it's been a challenging coulpe weeks, and just when I think I can't handle anything more God brings answers and miracles. He amazes me everyday!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! I can't wait until 4PM!

Thank you Jesus for my dad!

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers! My dad doesn't have to have any sort of surgery for his heart. They did find a few blockages, but the arteries branched out and created away for the blood to go through- Praise God! The doctors said he needs to take meds and the stronger dose will help!

I just want to encourage everyone that God is so faithful to answer our prayers. It says in the Bible that "you have not because you ask not," "Make your requests known to God!" "Ask and you shall receive!" Nothing is too small or too big for God to overcome! Remember it was by His sacrifice that we are made whole again, no matter our past or present situation, He wants to love us as we are. Thank you Jesus for hope, for your faithfulness and above all your unconditional Love for us!

Dad's Heart Issues

This is what I wrote yesterday:
My dad went in today for an angiogram. A few years ago he had a triple bi-pass surgery and late last year he had shoulder surgery. Please pray for quick healing and that the Doctors would be wise. My dad hasn't been thinking the best thoughts about what's going on, so please also pray for peace, joy and understanding. I know God's watching over him and taking care of him, but he doesn't think he deserves God's grace or mercy.Thank you in advance for your prayers! Be blessed! Kenzie

Life Throwing You a Curve Ball?

This week has been an interesting week personally, at work, school and home. It's been really tough. So many times this week I started dwelling on things of my past, and where I've screwed up. Then I start thinking about all these things that I want to accomplish and how is it going to get done, there's no time, can God really use me, I'm not good enough. I've just felt so attacked. Yesterday I got to work and found this verse: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6 I was reminded that no matter what it is I need or what I've been through, I just have to give it up to God with a happy heart. If I don't ask for those things I need, then how can I be mad when I don't get them? I want to see Jesus lifted high in my life, I want my life to glorify Him and all the things He's done in me to be brighter than the brightest star. I also found this verse, "Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life," Revelation 2:10. What an amazing reminder that we can go through trials, even to the point of death, and we can still "count it all joy" because the worlds outcome doesn't matter, it's God's outcome that we should strive for. Thank you Lord for reminding me how faithful you are.

I hope I'm not totally rambling, I just wanted to encourage everyone that no matter what life throws your way to keep your chin up, knowing that God's on your side, even when you feel like you're completely alone. And as you "Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, He will lift you up", James 4:10. As well as "A happy heart makes the face cheerful..." Proverbs 15:13

Moving Day!

Today I sign the lease for my apartment! I'm so excited! Tomorrow is when we move everything. Not looking forward to moving everything, but definitely excited to be in an apartment again. I am so thankful for Kurt and Mary, and their continued support! I have really enjoyed living there, spending time with them and their beautiful children and learning from them. I am so blessed to know them. I hope someday I can be as much of a blessing to them as they are to me! Oh, and want to know the best part of moving into the apartment, Karon and Justin are our neighbors! They aren't right next door or down the hall, but they are in the apartment building next to ours!

Well, I have to go. It's been a long time since I wrote, so I figured I should share the fun news :)
