Struggles of Life/ Wonderful Family!!

College is still going well, but I see the great need to spend time in quiet communion with God. I thank the Lord for good friends at college who stand by you and can understand the so called “silly” things we struggle with. I have come to realize (<—I find my self using this statement more and MORE!) that the world, the flesh, and the devil lure me most when I have just come to make a decision toward godliness! Suddenly it’s harder to get up in the morning, suddenly i want things i don’t need, and sin seems so much more appealing. But why should that suprise me, the Bible is full of “mountain top” experiences followed by trials/ tests. Life just is that way….. I am so undeserved of all I have.. I am SO thankful for the wonderful loving family God has given me. What a blessing and priviledge! I am overwhelmed by the sweet heartfelt comments that those of my family share with me. They mean so much to me, and I am glad to have the relationship with each one of them that I do. I am, who I am in great debt to my family. Their encouragement and needed rebuke at times, helps me grow to be more like my Savior. I am so thankful to be able to say that my family is a godly one, and full of love. True love, not selfish love, the kind of love that can rejoice with one another, sorrow when the time comes, and rebuke and exhort during those needed times as well. I feel that words can not say what my heart feels after reading the beautiful comments left by my loved ones. THANK YOU ALL PERSONALLY FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT YOU’VE BEEN TO ME ALL ALONG. I could not have made it through the three, coming four years of college with out you all. God truly used and uses you in my life. I guess that is something God has been showing me lately, especially with the thought of getting married and leaving home, that my family means SO much to me. I can stand alone with my husband-to-be because of the base laid in my life by my family. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I love you all. Oh, sweet memories, I can’t wait to go through all the pictures for my and Andy’s (lol mom) video at the reception. What fun memories to relive. Most people don’t have this sweet relationship with their family, and for that I am truly grateful! Wow I miss you all!! However, I get to see you in THREE weeks!!! Yayy!!!!! Well, that’s all for now!
