In the quiet

Well it's a new year 2008, and my friend Rebecca, said that an even number year is a good one, I hope so. Personaly I like the number 8. I want to start this new year blog post by saying, that I am really thankfull for the family He has given me, I feel so blessed. Second, I want to say that I am so very greatfull for Lynne and Rebecca. Lynne and Rebecca are my house mates, we have now been house mates for three summers now. Not only are we house mates, but we have become family, sisters in Christ and friends. I thank God, because before we became house mates I had been praying that he would provide women who loved Him to share a house with and he provided way past my expectations. As iron sharpens iron, so do the three of us sharpen one another, and push each other to persue Jesus Christ. I feel that God has worked out somthing really amazing between the three of us. Also the three of us are praising God because this past weekend we signed a lease for a second year at the town home we moved into just this last August. This means there will be no moving this year. we are going to have a great party in Augsut to celebrate this wonderfull event that is not happening this year in the normal month that it would have happened.

As I sit hear thinking about these things, these good things in my life, I feel my heart smiling with in me, and true joy fills me, joy that only comes from knowing Jesus Christ, the creator of life. I have been feeling Gods silence for awile, distant from Him, but the truth is that he is still here with me he is just waiting for me to be still, and to look and see what he has done, and when I see it to remember that He has done it, and that sometimes when it seems that he is quiet ,that is when we need to become quiet to hear What he is saying. I have also learned that I have to chose to walk in faith, chose to keep going. he has given us a chose. Thinking about this exites me, and scares me just because a chose is like a great gift, that can back fire, and be horible, but because of Gods Grace though His Son Jesus Christ We can chose to believe in Him, and walk with him, and be changed by Him and He will guied our steps. I know He will help me not to give up, but to persavear and walk on, keep going. though I am weary and flawed by sin, he is my strangth and hope, the reason I will not give up. I love You Oh my God, I thank you.

He desires to know what I think and feel.

The kind of man that I want to marry, will respect and value my thoughts and feelings about life, and just stuff. I know, that at times he won't meet that need and I know that I won't always meet his needs the way they should be met, but here's the thing, If we are both pursuing God we can know that He is the one who is going to meet all our needs. I can know that the man that I am married too is not perfect yet, and that God is still working to create the man that he intended. what does it mean for husbands to respect their wives, I think it means, that before they make decisions about things, they should consider what God might be saying to her about the event, or situation. What does it mean for wives to submit and respect their husband, well I am not entirely sure but, maybe part of submit and respect for husbands is letting them know by your actions that you trust Him to make the final call, and in that you submit your will to his, or the truth is when this happens and...

More from the Tom boy

...She will most likely have a favoret tree she climbed when she was a girl. She didn't just climb it she sat in it and dreamed in it. She also probabley sprang ankles and wrists jumping out of it at times. Maybe she dreamed of building or built, (with her dads help) a tree house or tree fort in the tree. One of her favoret movies is the Sandlot, and she wanted to be one of those boys, and was really frustrated because she didn't seem to have the same kind of fun and adventures they did, or maybe she did. If she did she sure got into a bunch of trouble. She will have stories about playing in the dirt, chasing down lizerds catching crodads in the crick, and having mice for pets, and being the fasest girl on the neighborhood block. This Tom boy is a dreamer, always wondering and questioning life and pausing to hear the noise or silents inside. For the most part these thoughts and dreams never are spoken out loud though they are bursting at her seams to be heard.

I love my family, and praise God for giving them to me they are such a good gift. I see my fathers side of the family quite a bit more than my mothers side of the family. The Vela's live three and a half hours away where as the wiesters live thirteen and a half hours away. This past weekend I Had a chance to tag along with my parents to visit the family in Nebraska, for an early Thanksgiving gathering. Kearney Nebraska has grown sense I've been there five years ago, and so have my little cousins. The bad thing about living so far away is that my younger cousins really don't know who I am, in fact they had a hard time remembering my name, I guess most people do anyway, but I guess it would be even harder to remember someone you never see and who is way older then they are. Not as cool because I'm an adult, and far removed from what it is like to be a kid. Well, if anyone knows me they know that I look younger then i am and I'm guessing the reason is that I am a kid a...
