Tuesday Treasures






Tuesday was an incredible day filled with sweet surprise and fun :) My dear friend Korie who is currently attending Liberty University, was in town for spring break and I was so excited to be able to squeeze in a special time to hang out with her. It was just her birthday as well so we had a sweet time to celebrate. We started off with breakfast at Panera where we ran into to an old school buddy and her sweet mother. Then we went to our old school, because I went to eat lunch with my sunday school students and bring them cookies and she went to visit as well. When we arrived we were greeted with hugs from precious teachers who poured so much into our lives, asking about what we are doing now. I enjoyed a brief time with my girls, and we went on a hunt to find my old careers/personal finance, speech and debate teacher. When we found her she asked if we would be her guest speakers in her careers class, and talked with us about what she would like for us to speak on. It was a great opportunity, and I was so excited about it. We were also asked to read to some precious kindergartens about transportation, they all were so sweet and gave us big hugs, and wanted their picture with us before we left. So overall it was a great day, and filled with unexpected opportunities. After leaving school, we headed to my house and enjoyed the beautiful weather by my lake and enjoyed conversations about our future, goals, dreams and what the Lord is doing in our lives. Then we made delicious sweet potato bread that Mrs. Tammy shared with us, we loved it! Thank you Mrs. Tammy!

So then to end our awesome day, we road around in her dads 1969 muscle car and drove to starbucks, playing great music and enjoying the beautiful weather! What an incredible day! Thank you Korie for sweet fellowship that refreshed my heart!

enjoy pictures! :)

Bible Study blessings

After a VERY late arrival, or maybe I should say early in the morning back at home on monday, I took a long shower in my own shower and headed to work. I am so blessed every monday by an opportunity to dive in and navigate through scripture with a great group of godly ladies. We have an incredible leader who is great at leading the discussion and bringing light to special truths that we miss. Most of the time, by the the time bible study starts I am one exhausted girl. But it is so wonderful how the Lord refreshes my heart through His living water which never runs dry. Each time I don't really feel like going but do anyways the Lord is so faithful to challenge and give me a special personalized truth that day.

Monday as I was leaving one of the sweet girls pulled me aside and said that the Lord had put me on her heart for the last couple of weeks and she was praying for me. I have had a couple of crazy weeks and I feel like there has been a lot on my heart as well, so that is an answer to prayer. That blessed my heart more than anything anyone could tell me. How sweet is our Lord Jesus Christ that He not only answers prayers, but will place a concern on the body of Christ to pray for each other. That sweet sister was such an encouragement, and I spent the whole way home praying out loud thanking God for His many blessings, and confessing my many sins before His throne, and lifting up sweet friends. What a treasured gift prayer is, I cherish that I have such precious friends. I just was reminded of the scripture that when we remain faithless, He remains faithful! When I am exhausted and weary He strengthens my heart and refuels my life by the living word and by godly friends.

"if we are faithless, he will remain faithful, for he cannot disown himself." 2 Timothy 2:13
