"Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:" Proverbs 3:3
I don't know how to explain it, but I picture the table of your heart as a stone tablet and the thought to have mercy and truth engraved in your heart's table, is so powerful. To always have it with you, and part of who you are. Anyway, if you continue reading in that chapter it continues....
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5-6
No matter where life takes you and what challenges you are given, just trust God and acknowledge him in everything you do...and He will take care of you! Trust is something that at least for me, is so hard, but so extremely important!! It also saves you so much stress and worry!
On February 22nd, my grandma Corrine Mae Schmidgall passed away. She hasn't had her mind for several years now, and we all knew it was going to happen at some point, but it still shocked me when I found out. That weekend was definitely a rough one. She passed away on Saturday afternoon, I found out on my way to the LSM benefit supper/auction, so I babysat at that, then went to the call after the auction. I had made plans then to drive up to MN on Sunday and then drive back after the funeral on Tuesday. Then Saturday night after I got home, I ended up throwing up all night and felt horrible all day Sunday. So after talking to my mom, we decided it was best if I didn't come up. It was really hard at first to think of everything going on back home and being so far away. But I had to realize and choose to trust that God had a plan and His plan involved me not being home for the funeral....and off the roads.
Other than that my life has been busy and hectic as always:) Several girls went to a Casting Crowns concert the end of February, which was totally awesome!! I also went to the Purdue Singing, which was also a great time!:) The drive there and back were definitely highlights of the trip!:) It was so awesome to see some people I knew and spend time with them and praising our Lord!
So Thursday night, several girls had a surprise birthday party for me!! It was soo awesome and I totally wasn't expecting it! We ate at Pizza Hut and then afterwards most of us went to the Kindgom Academy's play. I seriously realized just how blessed I am to have so many amazing friendships!! These people have welcomed me in and have been such great people to get to know, work with, and spend time with. It is something that I have taken for granted so many times! Oh, and I received a pet for my birthday!!! Yes, can any of you see me with a pet? Yep....not really the pet type, ESPECIALLY house pet type....but I am going to take a step out of the box and branch out. So I am now the proud owner of Randall. So far he has been a great addition, because his needs are so few and he is an amazing listener!! Plus I am working on teaching him some tricks!!! Yes, I believe Randall the rock with be a great addition to my life.
Anyway, I have wrote enough for today....until next time:)
