Because I need to share them.

I just really want to share a few verses that have been a HUGE comfort to me in these past few weeks. My life has taken so many different twists and turns and there were alot of times where all I wanted to do was throw my hands up in frustration and ask "why?"
Just proof that He hears, I stumbled on these verses one night while I was having devotions, and they fit so perfectly with my life right now..I want you to be blessed by them as well.

Psalm 139: 1-5

"O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. You have hedged me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me."

And then verses 13-18

"For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made, marvelous are your works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. and in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with You."


Amen!

Just a few grad pics

Graduation!

So today's the day!

In four hours, I'll have graduated from highschool!

I just got back from having my hair done and I guess that just makes me more excited :) Yesterday, I took my younger sister Cheryl to get our nails done...something she's never done before (my present to her for her graduating from Grade 8) so that was a ton of fun, true girl bonding time ;)
I'm waiting for her to get home so I can get started on her hair...something that BETTER work out today :P

So ya, I guess I'm just really excited to get into our dresses and get tonight done (my valedictorian address to be exact :P) :)..

I'll post pictures later, promise :)

Sometimes...

life doesn't go the way you wish it could.

Either way, it's in God's hands, and that's when you need to drop everything at His feet.

He's there.

He knows.

He's listening.

Just trust.

Believe.

So no there might not be any resemblance..but we are sisters, I promise.

My Piano Class of '09 (minus 2)

My shocking and most exciting news of the week! :):)

So last night, May 30 our whole family was home...Wes and Jana had come up from Toronto for my profession of faith, and Brad and Jac came for a visit after dinner. We were just all talking and laughing..admiring Jac's absolutely adorable and soon to be burst baby bubble when Dad said, " well that's not going to be the only new baby in the family."
We all shut up.
"WHAT?!..Dad, ummm..what do you mean?"
"Well, mom's expecting, and you're all going to have a new brother or sister" (something along those lines..I was completely in shock I may have mixed up some words :)
"Ok, very funny Dad...MOM'S HAVING A BABY?!"...same response..all around the room.
After a flood of laughter and tears and disbelief, we kind of just sat there...trying to take in the fact that there was going to be a precious little baby who would be joining our family, Lord willing in December. Christmas baby :)
So I guess now begins a whole new chapter in all our lives. It will be a really big adjustment for sure...alot more responsibility due on my part because I'll be the oldest at home...at times it might be hard, maybe frustrating...but I mean, a BABY?! That's pretty much one of the most amazing things to ever receive! I'm so excited..I really am.
Just pray for my mom though...that she would keep up this "absolutely no symptoms" thing, and that her pregnancy would be smooth..and that the baby will arrive healthy in God's time :):):)


So ya, that's my exciting news...super exciting news :)

Man, I'm going to have a new niece or nephew AND a new brother or sister (hopefully twin brothers..hehe..:D)...I love babies :)<3
