Christmas with the Brummels

We had an incredible Christmas with our sweet family, eating way to much food, and enjoying each others company. My Grandma and Aunt brought thier little puppies that are SO adorable and we were all entertained as they played. Also big news for my family is that my little brother got engaged on Christmas eve. We are so excited about this, she is a beautiful girl inside and out and loves the Lord and my brother; you can't ask for better than that. I am going to post a picture of my family and then of the engaged couple. Hope you had a lovely week with your family as well!

Blessings

Christmas

Merry Christmas! Make sure you take time to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas, our Savior who was born to save us from our sins so that we can have a relationship with the Creator of the Universe! What a sweet and the greatest gift in the world!

The Brummel family is enjoying some wonderful memories, and food over the next couple of days, along with sweet fellowship with our incredible family. Hope you have a very merry Christmas celebrating our Saviors birth!

Blessings and babysitting

God is so good to send sweet things of encouragement and blessings when we need it. I am so grateful for HIS unconditional love and kindness to me. Last night, my boss gave my family dinner, which was a GREAT blessing since my mom and I have been so busy. Then when I was getting home from work I felt like I had a start of a cold, and my dad was feeling the same( which made me even more nervous) way so we just sat and chilled feeling each others pain,and then I got to bed early (after taking nyquil :) . But today I am feeling A LOT better than I thought I would be and for that I am so grateful. God gives us strength for each moment, and is so good to take care of His children, even in the small things like a little cold.

This evening I babysat for an incredible family who are just so precious and blessed me with a sweet Christmas gift. The Lord is so good to allow me the privilege of knowing so many wonderful families through babysitting and seeing such great examples of godly marriages, sweet family time, and raising children in the Lord. I love the privilege I am given when people entrust me with their most precious treasures, and it is something I cherish. Children just brighten up everything :) I am learning a lot during this time of remembering to reflect upon the many big and small blessings we receive each and every day from our Savior.
What are some sweet blessings you have had this week?

Time flies by

I can't believe that it is almost Christmas time! Wow! It has been such an incredible year and I am excited about finishing it up strong. Sorry I haven't updated lately, life has been and still is a bit hectic for me. Because of what my family is going through I have taken on a bit to many extra things this month to help out, they all have been wonderful but I am just getting a bit worn down. I am excited however for a new week and I have several things I am really looking forward to this week, one being to act as a mommy for the weekend :) for 4 precious treasures.

I am excited for a new week and all the Lord has in store for it. I am so privileged to wake up in the morning and love what I do and love the sweet Lord that has given me life.

Tonight we had Campus church, where Tim and I lead worship for every week. We are so blessed and privilege to have this opportunity to sing, fellowship and pray with such a incredible group of people. It is an awesome and intimate setting where you can truly get to know each other, see needs and pray and encourage. I am so grateful for the Lord's hand on this church plant and I am excited to see where it leads. After our time of worship, testimony and offering, we headed over to one of the guys house to cook a dinner and have sweet fellowship. Great day today, but can't wait to get into my Bed

3 wonderful years and more to come

Tomorrow marks the fact that I have been working for the precious Nolan family and TNT Ministries for 3 wonderful years! I can't believe how long its been, time sure flies when you are having fun! I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve with such godly people who live a Christ honoring life both on and off stage. They are the REAL deal, you know thats true when you are more impressed with how they live in the privacy of their home than when they are on stage( even though I am impressed by that too :). "You are who you are when no one is looking" as my mom says, and let me just tell you that they are always AMAZING and constantly show me that in no matter what situations and difficulties to immediately go to the Lord in prayer. I am so honored and privilege to know them, count them as friends and have the BEST boss in the world. Their family has invested (and still are investing:) so much in my life. I look back and reflect on how much I have grown in the Lord over the last couple of years, how He has grown my desire for ministry, for His word and just for an intimate walk with my sweet Savior. They are huge investors, and influencers in my life and I am so grateful for them. They are truly my second family and it is a joy being with them. They are great examples to me in thier intimate walks with Jesus, thier solid and ever loving & growing marriage,flexible attitude in all circumstances, their joy and their generous and giving spirt with thier life and ministry.........just to name a few, cause there is so much more!

Thank you Lord for such an amazing opportunity you have given me to work for such incredible servants of YOU, they are such treasures to me. I pray that you will continue to bless their sweet family and ministry in such wonderful ways.

Thank you Nolan family for the tremendous blessing, encouragement and truth you pour into me every single week. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to invest in me. I thank the Lord every day for having such godly examples, and incredible cheerleaders and supporters in my life!
