Yay.. Overtime is Over..

Seems like I have been out of the loop for a long time.. I have been working 60 hours a week for the last 6 weeks making more airplane parts than I ever care to but finally I have my time and my life back! I'm stoked..

Victory through Christ!!

As I focus my eyes on the horizon
I ponder the things my spirit survive on
My only strength being Jesus himself
Without him my spirit clings to my flesh
And when I look out the other way into the distance
I forget the reason for my own existence
I forget I was created for righteousness
And that I still have a place in all of this
Because I wasn't created to stand on top of the watch tower
And withhold the message and spirit in all of its power
I'm not called to keep silent and watch the enemy steal souls that are oh so loved
I'm called to tell those the way to the one and only father above
But when I look the other way the line of righteousness disappears
And the enemy replaces it with all the same and so familiar fears
I become blind to the tactics of satan and his army
And begin to fight with all the strength that's in me
I forget to call on the name of Jesus
And forget that he is always with us
But God never forgets the promises He has for every soul that he has breathed life into
He never forgets me and He never never forgets you
And he's now saying the same thing to me as he did Abraham
"Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land
He says, "I will give it to you"
Reminding me its not my strength that will get me through
Now I stand on the battle line faced with a decision
Am I going to fight for his promise or go back to my own prison?
But God has given me a much clearer vision
Of fighting strongholds that are fighting to steal my dominion
And now I see myself crying out the same thing David cried himself
"RISE UP AND COME TO MY HELP"
And when I called the Lord came down and saved me
And redeemed my soul back into safety
And in His solitude and in His rest
In the midst of Jesus Christ I confess
That it wasn't by my sword that I overcame
It was by the Lord Jesus Christ, this name I claim

At The Fair....

I won a GIANT banana making the basketball into the hoop! It's pretty much bigger than me! It was funny to listen to the comments I got carrying that thing all the way back to my car.. This summer has been great so far. I have had the privilege to go out on a co-workers boat every weekend tubing and wakeboarding! I am hoping to have pictures soon from the lake. Work is great as well.. Maybe I will update my blog a little sooner... until next time my friends... laters

Many more to come..

Lord, you are so much more than we know and could ever understand
I can't even fathom that you hold everything in the palm of your hand
You saw all before mans fall
And although I'm so small, you answer every time I call
Your precious words are too good to be true
But in your faithfulness you always and will always come through
Just one word from you holds the weight of all creation
It's hard to acknowledge that with me you would even want relation
You're so creative that you provided a way that could never be shaken
As long as I stand in Christ Jesus and never forsake him
Your mighty protection is just one reflection of your love and affection
And so is your love so perfect in every degree of perfection
You give us a shield of faith and indispensable strength
And a powerful refuge from a God that's so huge
It makes me wonder how in any circumstance we think we can lose
Your perfect guidance helps us stay righteous
And when we stumble you're still holding our hand teaching us to be humble
It's upon you we rely that you will supply every need in life
In every rejoicing moment or torment and strife
It was with your stripes it was sealed that in your name we are healed
And it's you that comes with a peace that will never cease
Surpassing understanding in all times of grief
You give us knowledge and wisdom, to help advance your kingdom
And joy and happiness in all of its fullness
You never reject us
Instead you love and accept us
And promise support and stability
As we walk and abide thee
There's much more fulfillment in you whose been sent
I can't believe you would want such intimate friendship
You didn't rescue me because I deserved to be free
You rescued me because you delighted in me
And in all these promises you've given us to stand on
You also promise that even your words you will never leave or abandon
And when it was you who was sitting so lovingly on the cross
You didn't count your life as a loss
Instead you saw the gain of relation with no condemnation
And from us satans chains were stolen and broken
And the enemy was shaken with great devastation
Because he knows Jesus Christ IS the promise of eternal life and salvation

The Cove.....

So this weekend when a couple of friends and I heard that it was going to be in the high 90's we decided it would be best to be near a large body of water. We decided that the cove would be the ideal situation for a nice warm Saturday.

This is Pam.. She's awesome.. this is her sons dragon floatie..

This is Andrew (he's kind of a big deal) just hangin out on the "sand" if that's what you want to call it.. I told him that if he jumped in the water I would jump in right after him.. Immediately he just dove in .. I don't think he realized I was just kidding!

This is andrew trying to stay on the dragon.. I don't think it's big enough though cuz he's not really floating in this picture...

It was fun..

My favorite park EVER!

This is Sawyer Park. I absolutely LOVE going to this park on my free time and just thinking about God and my relationship with him.. I haven't been able to go for a really long time but now that I have a little more freedom I can be here a lot more.. I love just taking my notebook and sitting on my favorite rock next to the river and writing out what's on my heart to God.. It's amazing!

Me taking self pics.. Lol.. It's all good..

Finally.. It's Been a Long Time...

This isn't the greatest picture.. but it's the greatest piece of paper that says that I can legally drive a car! I am so stoked.. after a year and a half of walking, riding and riding the bus I finally have driving privileges again! BUT, I don't have a car.. lol. One step closer. I am in the process of saving right now.. in the mean time.. I am waiting for my real license to come in the mail since they give you crappy temp licenses first. It's all good! Now this is something worth blogging about! Until next time my friends..
