  • I am happy to say that after a long process of being ashamed, scared, and worried about who God was making me to be....I'm not any of those things anymore....I'm just plain content!  and...I don't care who knows and how they react because I'm letting my world know;)  I also have to praise the Lord for His patience in working on me and making me the content person I am today!  I also praise Him for restoring something that was broken and I even praise Him for what He is going to restore tomorrow!  I love you Lord!  Thank you for being the God the makes old things brand new again...I love you Lord!

  • You know sometimes it seems hard to stay consistent in our christian walks like we want to.  I know with me it seems  that there are always ups and downs....sometimes I feel so bad because I feel like I should be spending every moment with God....after all thats what we are here for right??  But so many times I forget that and I dont take the time that I should.  I keep thinking what if God came back today what would I want Him to find me doing??  Obviously spending time with Him, but would I be?  Maybe some of the reason I don't spend enough time with Him is because He's a gentlemen and He doesn't bother me when I don't He just waits until I'm ready.  I think because God is not always walking beside us where we can see Him physically its easy not to take time an to get busy and to think that the things on this earth are more important than Him, but often times I'm sadly mistaken.

  • Well, it's been a long time since I've posted.  Let's see what's new since the end of May...I still absolutely love my nanny job!  It's an awesome experience and I survived the summer with 5 kids everyday.  It was a challenge, but I came out smiling;) 
    Oh, and I officially have my own place since the end of July.  It's an efficiency apartment which is just perfect for me!  It's a very cute place;)  Little by little I'm picking up things at rummage sales, garage sales, and other stores.  I just got a popcorn maker this past weekend.  I love homemade popcorn!  Yum!  I got a lot of things given to me so that was a blessing!
    Also God has laid on my heart to go back to school for an RN.  So right now I'm looking up scholarships and applying for financial aid.  I'm going to start by taking classes part-time at night in Jan.  I'm going to try and test out of Math so I can get on the waiting list as soon as possible for nursing.  There is a 2 year list to take nursing classes and if I do well on the NET (Nursing Entrance Test) I can move up on that list faster.  This is how the list works:  If they call someone that is next on the list and they decline then they go to the person that has the highest score on the NET.  I've been studying for the exam the last couple of weeks and I'm signed up to take it on Oct 10th.   Pray that I will do well on it!  After looking at my required classes it looks like with my college classes I only have to take 4-6 basic classes before I get into my clinicals.  The waiting list I'm getting on is for my clinicals.  So its a big step, but I'm really excited!

    Anyways,  that is all the big news in my life right now!  I just thought I would share and let everyone know how I'm doing!

  • I started my new nanny job last Thursday and I love it;)  Taking care of kids in something I have had a lot of practice with.  Also my boss is very nice and easy going which is cool.  The little baby boy is getting pretty used to me which is good except for this morning he didn't want his momma leaving, but he got over it soon.  The two girls are a little sassy, but they are a lot of fun. 

     I've got to do a lot of things I haven't done in awhile like...

     play with sidewalk chalk,

     playing a game of I spy,

    reading in silly voices,       making a balloon make the high pitched sound as releases air,

     round-offs, cartwheels,

    making elephant noises, giving piggy back rides,

     and playing hide and seek!!! 

    It's been fun and to say the least I can't believe I'm getting paid to play all day;) hehehe  Although I found out I'm going to be having five kids all day during the summer which should be interesting;)  Pray that God will give me the ability to do this especially since I might have six kids one day;)  And....I'm not kidding by the way!

    I'm a Nanny;)

    It's offical....I'm going to be a full-time nanny in 2 weeks!  I'm very excited!  I love kids!  I'm putting my two weeks notice in at Kingston tomorrow and I get to meet the kids that I'm taking care of as well.  I wasn't even looking for a job and now I'm ready to start one that I'm going to love;)

About Me

  • I love Jesus more than anything else in this world! The only reason I have created this site is for His glory, honor, and praise! I'm very thankful to have His Word so I can learn more about Him! All that matters in this life is what we do for Him! If you don't have Jesus...you don't have joy, love, peace, kindness, goodness, gentleness, patience, faithfulness, and hope. I want to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus until the day I die and I want to be faithful to Him until the end! If it came down to it, I hope that I would die for Him if I was ever faced with the decision. I want to be someone that points people toward God and refreshes people's lives so that they can love Jesus. Give Jesus all the praise for this because it's not me that wants to do all these things, it's all about Him living through me!
