Let it snow ...

So when I was younger I used to enjoy the snow much more than I do now. I would always anticipate school being closed and just being able to play in the snow no worries in the world. Now that I am in college, and realize I don't love being snowed in. Don't get me wrong there is something so peaceful about the snow, it is almost as if it drowns out some of the everyday noise it just isn't my favorite.Mostly because I still have to work and go to school if it snows and it is just a nuisance. The thing I do enjoy about the snowy weather on the weekend is sitting by the fire and drinking coffee. I also do enjoy taking pictures. So here are a few pictures I took :)! I hope that ya'll are having a lovely weekend!

My mind has officially been blown...

Today was missions sunday at church and a missionary Bob was speaking. He completely blew my mind with this thought..

We must all go. We all must give. We won't all go to the same place, BUT we will all give the same. We must give everything and live off what God gives us back.

Wow, so the whole service I am thinking about how some Christians say they are being called to certain things, but every Christian is called to some kind of mission. Then I started thinking am I trying to mask God's desire for my life with my desire for my life, a comfortable life that won't ever cause me to need to stand out for something I believe in?

Do we just say we want to know God's will for our life simply because we think that is the Christian thing to say? Or do we truely desire to know God's will for our life even if it disrupts the easy "American Dream" and causes us to leave our extremely comfortable lives as we know it?
Are we simply doing just enough to get by and make it in to Heaven? Or are we giving our all for Christ? I believe He deserves our all, I also understand it isn't the easiest thing to not have any control in a situation and to fully trust Him that everything will work out mostly because things won't always work out the way that we want it to but the way that God wants it to.

Just some random thoughts that had been stirred up in my heart today..Any thoughts from your side?

Saturday!!

I woke up this morning to the the beautiful sunshine. Then I made some peach mango tea. :)
Today my sister and I woke up and made some oatmeal raisin cookies.Then we waited for my dad to get out of work to meet us for brunch at IHOP. Other than that I cleaned the house some. Love the feeling of being organized. I am getting ready to do my statistics homework.. not good. We had a pretty delicious dinner it was tortellini soup. Overall pretty unsuccessful but wonderful nonetheless!

So today...

I used to have a blog, but I forgot my info to log in so I started a new one! 

So here goes my first post :)

This morning I woke up and had some coffee. Then I had a ton of reading to do for school so that is what I did until I needed to head to work at 12:30! A little bit overwhelmed with all the reading that comes with my health and nutrition class and child development classes. Oh well!! 

I love working with kids! They are exhausting but it never gets old.

Granted sometimes they make me feel like little Molly occassionally I still love them all :).

I'll leave you with a group of verses that has been on my heart recently:

Restore to me the joy of your salvation,and make me willing to obey you.

Then I will teach your ways to rebels,and they will return to you.Forgive me for shedding blood, O God who saves;then I will joyfully sing of your forgiveness.Unseal my lips, O Lord,that my mouth may praise you.You do not desire a sacrifice, or I would offer one.You do not want a burnt offering.The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit.You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. PSALM 51:12-17
