Well its Friday the 24Th! I leave for the Philippines tomorrow! I am excited for all God is going to do this summer. I am going to miss my family and friends a lot. But Gods got that in His Hands. I have had such a good week! All my friends from House of Joe have been praying with me and encouraging me so much ( Special shout out to Ted Travers)! You have been such an encouragement this past month. Wednesday My best friend Emily came down for a couple of days! We have have had so much fun! After work on Wednesday Matt, Courtney, Jason, Em and I went to go try to find sea turtles laying eggs! Knowing that we may not see any, We saw one before we even left the board walk!!!! We had such a good time and saw 6 turtles in all! Well today I am going to pack because I have been so busy the past couple of weeks that I have not done anything to pack lol.
I will write again but probably when I'm in the Philippines!
Love you guys and God bless

Its only Tuesday and my week is starting to get crazy! I wont go in to details but trust me its been crazy.
I have been listening to a CD called "Sights & Sounds" By Ryan Shelley a man and friend who comes into our Coffee shop and plays. One song is sticking out to me more then others today. Its called "By your Grace". It says
By your grace oh God, I am what I am. Just the first line made me stop and think WOW!
I may be having the craziest week but God's Grace is sufficient for me, I walked in Sin and darkness, and Jesus came to earth to die for my sins! And forgive me for all my wicked sin. Just that thought alone has my mind in Awe of Him, the Bible says in Romans 6:23
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So thankful for that Gift Jesus gave me!
Have a Blessed week
