Embarking upon new territory.....

So tonight starts our annual Gritty Women Conference. The new thing this year is Gritty Girls which is for the teenagers. Our very own conference. So, guess who is heading it up? Me! Yep, so definitely new territory for me. It's exciting and a bit scary too. So, anyway, I will post updates on Sunday (with pictures even) or Monday. If you think about it though, be praying for the conference to go well and be praying for me too. Thanks! <3

Life.....

So, I really am going to try to keep up this time. Just some random thoughts about my life thus far:

1. I am happy. Not in the sense that everything in my life is going perfectly, but in the aspect that I am happy despite my circumstances. I guess that would mean that I am joyful. Sure life sucks sometimes, but you just gotta keep pressing in.
2. My God is ALWAYS faithful. Again, despite how things may look, He's got it in control.
3. I want to be able to take more risks and not be scared to do it. Not like "jumping out of a plane" risks, but learning to do things that aren't the norm for me. Getting "out of my box" so to speak.
4. I am really excited (and still hoping) that I am getting a puggle puppy around Christmas time.
5. I am very excited that God has made a way for me to go to Africa. My finances had a blow recently, but He is definitely providing.
6. I love my family and friends and now that I realize their importance in my life, I miss them more whether they are near or far away.
7. I love the fall. The fact that I can drive or walk down a path that has leaves everywhere and it's just.....peaceful. I can inhale the crisp air and just..........be. I know that sounds weird, but it's true. Then at night, when it's even cooler, I can look up at the stars and just be amazed by the beauty that God created just for me.

So, far, this is all that I can think of off the top of my head, but I will try and keep this up this time around.
