Bethany the Bride

I am so glad that I had the privilege of seeing Bethany's wedding. It was absolutely beautiful. As many of you may know, I don't cry very easily, but I had tears in my eyes at the ceremony. The whole wedding was so refreshing--totally focused on God. It was simple, but so very beautiful. Thank you, Bethany, for allowing other people to see the beauty of your relationship with Dan. And for leading a beautiful and glorious life, both in your single life and in your courting days and now into married life! I pray it will be a grand adventure!

More pictures to come soon.....

....the high in Lehr for Monday is now -2. Yes, the high is below zero. Oh how I miss ND. :-) And on Monday at my grandpa's house the high will be 83. How is this fair? Despite these temperatures, I am stoked for my arrival in the small Bismarck airport! My mom will be the one picking me up!! (she took the day off work :) So maybe we can go shopping....... ;-)

Christmas break starts tonight, but it really started last night. Last night I got to bed a little after 1. Wow! That was amazing. I really haven't slept at NIGHT this week, so it's a

new concept that needs to be re-introduced to me. I started liking coffee. I'm kind of sad that I have conformed to the ways of this world.So, over Christmas Break, I will be at my grandpa's house for two weeks!!! :-) First, we will go to the wedding in Nebraska though!!!! :-) Super excited about that! =)

I just finished packing. Wow, that was difficult. I thought about packing two suitcases. (I am a girl needing clothes for a whole month after all. ) But no. United Airlines would then like to charge me an extra 20 dollars for that. They aren't getting my money! Ha!! It took a lot of work. The cliche' sitting on the suitcase? Yeah, that was me. For my carry-on, I'm bringing my queen size blanket I am crocheting, my beautiful mac, and my camera bag. Maybe I'll take a picture.

This is Pastor Jack after our Advent Service.

I am so excited to go home!

And guess what? The day I fly home, the high is supposed to be 22! Whooo!!!! Better leave the sandals at school! ;-) One week and I'll be home! I'm super-duper excited!! Oh, hopefully I'll do a Thanksgiving post of family soon. Finals aren't too bad so maybe this week. If not, I'll try to squeeze it in while I am home. :) YAY HOME!!!!!

I love my family. Can you tell?

A new leaf

I want to be a real woman of God. One who desires His will to be done before mine is even close. That I will be willing to put aside my own wants and "needs" to further His kingdom. I have been noticing my own negative attitudes toward people and have realized that they need to change. Finally, today I was listening to "What if His People Prayed" by Casting Crowns and realized that I haven't really been praying fervently or even with a passion for God's people. WE NEED TO PRAY! We need to have a passion for God and his people. They might make us really upset and drive us crazy, but God still loves them. I might not personally love everyone, but God still does. (I really have no idea how He does it!)

This fall has been an interesting one indeed. It has had twists and turns in the road. Even some tears shed. I love this fall. Jumping in the leaf piles. Seeing the leaves turning. Seeing me turning too, into (hopefully) a woman after God's very own heart.

Sorry....

Wow. It has been forever and a day since I last posted. Goodness, I'm sorry (though I probably don't have any more readers, so I don't even know why I am apologizing). There is lots going on right now, but God is in control. He'll handle it all.

^I wrote that about a week ago. Oops.

Um....doing some wedding planning. Almost have the details of bridesmaid dresses picked out. I really want to try my dress on again..... :-) One of my friends (my maid of honor, actually :) has been looking at wedding stuff because she will be getting married this coming October. :-) Guess who gets to be her MATRON of honor. Wow, that's weird. I'll be married! Pretty stoked about that. Not much is going on at school. It's November. Did you know that? And know what that means?! I GET TO SEE MY FAMILY in a little over three weeks!!!!!! I'm a tad excited. They are pretty awesome.
