Thanksgiving and Christmas!!!

Dear friends,
I have so many things to be thankful for !!...... 1) God letting his only son die for all my sins 2) My family 3) My friends that are like family 4) Other friends 5) electronics 6) electricity 7) roof over my head 8) a car to drive 9) clothes that keep me warm and protect me 10) Food and Dr.Peppers !!Those are few of many things I am thankful for...... I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my Family..... Well I have been dealing with school and trying to plan a wedding ....... and there are so many weddings that are happening this up coming year..... There are 4 in my family including me.... 2 of my friends.....Yeah what a busy year ahead.... But the 4th wedding addition to the family happened actually on Thanksgiving day !! It is my dad's youngest sister we are so happy for her!!!.....
But anyways now that Thanksgiving is over with now we have Christmas coming up and people are worried about not getting presents bought ..... I think people get way ahead of themselves and don't stop to think why we celebrate Christmas also you hear on the news or in the newspaper of people getting mad about people saying Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas and now they are trying to take that away !!...... But they arent stopping me for celebrating my savior's birth !!!

Fall 2009

Hey Guys,

Wow .... This Fall has gone by so fast. A lot has happened this semester..... 1) I have met new friends that God has put in my life and I have grown to love them 2) Harvey and I set the date for our wedding .... September 4th , 2010 3)Have been busy with band, Ra, BSU, planning for the wedding , and trying to graduate in May 4) But number 1 thing is getting closer to God everyday and learning to let him lead me and to guide me in the path that he has planned for me. Which if you know me real well then you know that I am very hard headed and God has put some bumps in my path to make me understand that he is in CONTROL not me ..... but I have been trying to learn more of what God has in stored for me !!!....... I struggle with a lot of things now days but I have given them to God !!!...... Sometimes we dont know why God does the things he does but we have to have faith and believe he is in control and know what he is doing ....... I am learning to appreciate life and love my family and friends more than I have in the past because you never know when God will call you home !!! .... Well this is it for now ..... Hopefully it wont take to long to get back on here.... but I have been busy lately !!! May God Bless !!
Love,
Haley

Emotional Day !!

Hey Everyone,
Today has been a little emotional for me and my family and the kids I babysat this summer.... I moved in my dorm this afternoon ...... I have grown to love those two kids ........ I am also having some future planning issues...... It involves me getting married and going to school or getting through school then married ....... It is a tough decision because I am ready to settle down and start a family but also dont want any issues either the first year of marriage..... I just have a lot on my mind.........

Also I have been in this bible study with the college students on Sunday and Wednesday nights and this bible study has shown me a lot about what God is really like and about ...... I really didnt stop and think about how awesome it is that WE are the rarest people b/c God made us special and NO ONE is like us ..... God created us for him and only him....... God has shown me alot of things that are between us but I know God is working in my life and is putting people in my path to help lift me up and give me wise knowledge of what the Father wants.......

I hope everyone had a great but safe summer now that is slowly coming to a end..... School is about to start and my life is going to get more busy ....... Well May God bless you all

I miss you all and love you all .......

Crazy !!!

Hey Everybody!!!
Sorry it has been a while since I have been on here... I have been pretty busy with work and family !!!..... I went to go watch one of my friends get married.... The wedding was beautiful and sweet.... Our church has found another youth minster and he is really great .... God is doing a lot in my life and I am thankful he has control of my life ....... I have been blessed with great family and friends that love and care for me !! I enoy spending time with them ..... I also love my God who is so amazing and protects me and loves me for who I am ........ I miss my friends from school but dont miss school at all !!!......I have learned from God that he will never give you something you cant handle!.... Eventhough it may seem like you cant but really you can .... it just takes time with everything.... And I know they people that are going on mission trips will have God behind them and protecting them as they do what they were called to do in his name ...... I have been praying for them and trying to encourage some of them and if you are reading this and you are going on a mission trip I am praying and I want yah to know I love yah and am going to do my best to encourage you ...... May God bless your heart and everything you do !!!
Thats it for now ..... Until next time !!!

Joyful Tears!!!

Hey Everybody,
I have been looking at other people's blogs and they have been talking about it beening their last week ever at ICC..... Some of them are my best friends but I know they will be ok and God will protect them ..... I have learned a lot from them and have grown to love them as my friends and they have a piece of my heart ......

But also I have planted on my heart is judgement..... I know we all judge people by the outward appearance but we don't realize what really is going on in the heart..... If I had judged my best friends about outward appearance some of them I would probably not consider my friends..... I have been judged by others because of my outward actions wish were sins that I have gotten God's forgiveness and I have forgiven myself .... It hurts when people judge you like that ..... That is why I don't trust many friends with somethings but I am thankful God put a hand full of people that I could trust and learn from ...... Also I am thankful that God has put his word in front of me where I can learn from what he has to say ...... I love my Heavenly Father and I praise him for saving me and giving his only son to die for me ..... That brings tears of joy to my eyes knowing one day I will get to see my Father in Heaven Face-to-Face and live with him for eternity ....... and I want have to worry about other people judging me......

I love the words that one of my best friends said about a situation ... I am not sure actually all the words but it was something like this " I will love as my friend and I wouldn't worry about my judgement towards you because I am not the one who is going to judge you at the end" I love those words she said because she is right we shouldn't worry about other people's judgement because we should be worried about being judge by our heavenly father......

That is it for now ..... I hope everyone is having a great week so far ..... and I hope everyone has a good and safe summer..... May God be with you and bless you through whatever you do .... Remember do everything that you do for the glory of God !!!

Wow

Hey Everybody,
I have been thinking a lot about my relationship with my God and the people he put in my life..... I am blessed that he has given me so many people I can talk to ...... Some I can go to them about anything and some are there to cheer me up ....... God has blessed me with a handle full of friends I can talk to about anything ...... For one I have the best co-workers/ and managers I could ask for ...... There is never a dull moment in that place...... but I am thankful he put me with some of the best christian people who I have grown to have a relationship and to love them .... also I am thankful for the ones I have met at school...... God has also did a blessing there...... and my church friend/family ....... God has blessed me there with them as well ..... Even through the good and bad they are always there....... That is what I love about all my friends ...... They are there when you need them ....

Well School is about out for the Summer..... I alot of us will be going different ways...... but I know I will have a lot of contact with most of my friends ....... I am ready for a break from school.....

Well I guess that is it for now ......God bless !!!
