Psalm 37:4
Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.


There are things in my life that I want so much that it hurts. Things money cannot buy. Things that I cannot force but have to wait for and see if they happen.

I was struggling today. Sometimes your heart wants to hold onto something, anything in order to satisfy one of these wants.

I prayed to the Lord and He gave me words similar to the verse above, 'Rejoice in me and I will give you the desires of your heart'.

This Christmas we're going to receive a lot of things we want. But for those things money can't buy, trust the Lord that He will give us what we need :)

  3. So when you asked if I saw what happened to Skype I was thought, "Oh it wasn't my internet!" My internet gone retarded the last couple of days so I thought my issues with Skype were me. I am so glad that we already had our Skype date earlier this week, I would have been really sad to have planned to Skype with you yesterday and couldn't because of Skype being down :) Yay for God providing on Monday!

    Not too much...I've been very Christmassy the last few days haha. I had to pick up some last minute Christmas gifts yesterday, then I made some more Christmas wreaths, then today I ran errands with my parents and had a nice lunch with them, and tonight we spend 5+ hours decorating gingerbread houses, making some food for Christmas Eve, and baking Christmas cookies. It took a lot more time than expected but it was so much fun! What about you?? Have you headed to your aunt and uncle's yet?

    Merry Christmas Eve Eve!! (Well, it'll be Christmas Eve when you get this haha)

    God Bless!

    I have something super amazing and exciting to tell you, but I think I'm going to wait until the next time we skype...so for now I'll leave you in suspense haha :-P

  7. Well I guess you didn't have to live in suspense very long haha...yeah I didn't leave her in suspense and since I'm not on facebook I should have known I could count on her to post it on there haha...but yes I got a voicemail this afternoon saying that my visa had been approved :D

    That's all the details I have for now. The consulate is supposed to call me back concerning a date but I don't know if that is my departure date or the date I go to Miami and pick it up...after the holidays I should know more about when I might be departing sometime in January I imagine but it kind of depends on the school and stuff here...I don't just want to drop everything here without a little closure. So once I know I'll let you know :)

    And if you had send the gifts I'd probably be waiting until March or April for a visa haha

    Sounds great :D

    He is CHRIST THE LORD!!

    Merry CHRISTmas :D
