Last weekend I watched Carrie Underwood perform "How Great Thou Art" on a TV special and it gave me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes...and now I can't get that song out of my head. Mostly because I'm feeling so blessed right now. I have a new car that I got for an unbelievable great deal. I will start full-time at my office job in about 3 weeks. If I ever doubt God's faithfulness in the future, I can just look back at this time in my life where God has answered prayer so clearly and blessed me beyond what I could imagine. So yes, while money will still be tight when I start paying the rest of my school loans in June, it won't be like I imagined and was preparing myself for. All because God chose to bless me.
If you haven't heard or seen this video yet, check it out! I think I listen to it almost every day :)

faith lessons
I have loved the sermons at my church lately...speaking to me and pushing me to think more and more about how I'm living my life. So I think about it...but really I need to make changes and put what I'm learning into action. That's always the hardest part right??
A couple of notes I've taken:
Be with Jesus: Just as you are. (this to me means being vulnerable and being okay with not being perfect before you go to God...so hard for me. I need to get past that!)
When it's Jesus plus something, you end up losing Jesus and fall into the deceptions of the "somethings"--gets into the legalisms
More stuff does NOT equal a satisfied life. Just makes us want more stuff. (WOW....I see this so much in the world around me..it's what "they" try to push...and in my own life)
Easy equals Jesus furnishing what you need. (Now I just need to work on my TRUST issues...God has such a better plan than me!)
So that's what I've been trying to process..... it's good stuff. I'm so blessed to have found a church that can feed me just what I need! Thank you God!!!! I've also just started volunteering with the children's department...and I love it :)
Alright on to some cleaning so I can enjoy the rest of my weekend without that on my plate :)
