Prayers!

Hey Ladies!!
I hope all of you are having an amazing summer in the midst of work, vacation, and hanging out with friends! I cannot believe we only have about 3 weeks until everyone will be back on campus!!! Where did the time go?? I am basically a workaholic lifeguarding at Pocahontas State Park at least 50 hours a week! However, the main reason I am writing this post is to ask all of you for your prayers. A few of you know about part of this already, but almost 2 years ago now I had a serious car accident with injuries and had one passenger in the car with me. Recently we received a summons and I am now being sued. We do not know exactly how long this case will last, but I would like to request your prayers for the case to work efficiently and end in my favor. I was not charged after the accident, and my wreckless driving ticket was dismissed in court, so I am not at fault =) I just have to leave everything in God's hands and the experts dealing with the case!

Thank you all so much! I love you all and will see you soon!

Oh Joy it's July!

Hey lovely ladies of God's own design! :0) I hope you all are having a great summer! I don't know if you are itching to get back as much as I am, but man! I am ready for this school year to start and hang out with you all! You are good people, hehe. Anyways, I was at a Bible study tonight at my church just for women, and my friend Annmarie who is in charge talked about our passions. It was incredible! She asked us to talk about what we thought our passions where, and it was a difficult question! It isn't the same as, what role do you have or what job you have, but about your souls desires and what excites you in life. About what God has crafted inside of you to be what brings out the most joy for you, and in the long run glorifies God. She referenced Ephesians 1:15-23 which talks about how Paul was praying for the Ephesians and their wisdom and understanding of God and His calling on their lives. If you are struggling with where you think God is bringing you, and you have no idea...I think you should take a look at it...and turn this prayer for this church into a prayer you have for yourself, or ask someone to pray that prayer for you!

Now, I think we all kind of knew where this was going to go, but I wanted to ask you that same question!
What is YOUR passion? What drives you? What makes your heart soar and dance when you do it? What gives you shivers and butterflies when you do it, knowing that this drive is from God?

Anyways, it's July and there is 31 days in it. My other suggestion if you haven't done it already is to be going through a Proverb each day and just "chew" on that chapter during the day. Keep looking back and seeing if God is pulling something else out for you to see and understand, and as Eph. 1:18 says that God is "Enlightening your hearts understanding?" I haven't done it this way yet, but I think I shall start. Proverbs can be hard to get through because there seems like no rhyme or reason to why each chapter is outlined...or rather NOT outlined, haha. But definitely see what God is saying about it! :0)
