I've been avoiding this post for a long time... and I'm still not ready to talk about it.
Lord-- Thank you for who you are and for sending your son so that one day I may stand with you in heaven. I thank you that you have chosen to grow me and that you have chosen to participate in my life. I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am in awe of you because you know my rising up and my lying down, you know my thought before I even think about thinking it. Lord, I pray that you will help give me peace and rest in my heart about Mo's death. I can't get him out of my head and the pain in my heart shows no signs of yielding. I need your hand of comfort. Lord, I pray for soothing for Holly's heart and the strength to continue on even when her heart hurts so bad she thinks she might not be able to go on. You hold all things in place and nothing happens without you knowing about it. I trust you and I love you Lord. IJPN-Amen

ENGAGED!!!
well because of the snowy weather he had to change plans quick. we went to the mall around 2:00 and saw Step up 2 at 3:00. When that was over then we walked around the mall for a bit, then we came home and decided to go out and play in the snow. we ran around the house gathering up snow clothes and boots and gloves and got aaaallllll bundled up. Once we got outside it was FREEEEEEZING but we still played in the yard and walked around in the snow holding hands and then we decided to slide down the hill on our butts(which was hilarious). Then we got down into the neighborhood road beside my house and we were just talkin and he looks at me and then he kissed me and he goes "what did that say?" (cause he always asks me that) and i said " it said i love you" and he kissed me again and asked again, and i said "that said i wanna be with you forever." Then said "do you wanna be with me forever?" and i shook my head yes and so he took off his glove, reached in his pocket and pulled out the box. He got down on one knee and said "will you marry me?" I flipped out!! I was like ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? ARE YOU SERIOUS?? and he just kinda looked at me and said "absolutely.." and i said "yes of course!" The ring is gorgeous!!
I'm so excited!! :-D When we got back inside, my mom told us to go change clothes and come downstairs. We walked through the living room and there was the dining room table all set up for a dinner for two! It was so cute! All decked out with two candles, Mom and Dad's China plates, the wine glasses (which we drank milk and water from) and the lights were off except for the candles. Mom served us our food and drinks and Drew put on Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. It was so romantic and fun! It was much better than eating at Olive Garden! i love my FIANCEE!!!! :-D

So time goes on...
So the weekend came and went and it was a good one...
Saturday- i FINALLY got to sleep in and it was amazing! Then i got up and went to get drew then we headed over to Luke's bball game and that was really good. He did awesome and even had a few points! Go Luke! Maxie played that morning, but he said that his team won too! I'm so proud of my cousins! Then after that Drew and i went to Rt. 60 Music to poke around see if they sold Harmonicas. I found this beautiful guitar which drew obviously played! How could he keep his hands off such a great guitar??
After that we went to eat with Papaw, Mom, Dad and some other family for Papaw's bday... Golden Corral really hit the spot. After dinner, Derek and i went to the mall and he got two new pair of shoes (with some convincing).
Sunday- This was a good relaxing day... Church with the Creasy's. Uncle Greg sang it was awesome with the choir behind him. God was really workin in that service. After church was sunday school and that was fun to actually get to discuss the Bible again. i'm lookin forward to going back :-D
After that i went with Aunt LeighAnn and two of the boys to Starbucks. Aunt LA bought me a drink (Thanks! :-D) and she got a free lb. bag of Christmas blend coffee!!! How exciting!!... Then it was back to her house for lunch. Shes such a good cook! I had fun hanging out with my family... i dont get to do that hardly at all when i'm at my house so i feel like i'm getting spoiled!
That afternoon i had to take a practice test for my PTA Boards test and it was 3 hours long! Horribly long and boring, but i made it through. I didnt pass this time, but thankfully it was just a practice test!
Then i went and hung out with Hanah, Ginger, and Ginger's boyfriend for a while with Drew. It was really good to get to see those girls!
Wow! what a full weekend! i love my life!

Mama said there'd be days like this...
...there'd be days like this Mama said.
Well today went a bit better... it's hard being the student and not knowing everything, but didnt feel like such a nuisance today. So thats nice. The negative thing is it seems like everyone wants to gossip and whine at the end of the day and it ust puts me in a foul mood. I swore off gossiping after or during my senior year of high school and I try to avoid it at all costs. The hard part this time is I dont want to run off on my CI and look like I'm tryin to skip out on my job there as a student. I want to be readily available to her, but at the end of the day when I know we arent going to be doing anything else, I wish I had the gall to just ask her if I can go.
Oh well, here comes the weekend! Mom and Daddy are comin in so that should be fun! It's my Papaw's birthday so they're coming down for that and to see us kids!
On a more positive note, the Lord is still good and He is my refuge in the times of trouble. So i will lean on him and find solitude in the midst of the storm :-D
1 Thessalonians 5:12-18-- And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves. Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all. See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

the tough days
You know how some days just dont seem to go your way? You start off the day having woke up late, and then you go to work or school and everything seems to be a little off. Every little thing adds up until you just feeling like youre going to break?
yea... today was one of those days. It's hard sometimes to try to be so strong. Between the "red dragon", missing Jon, starting my new clinical rotation, moving to Huntington, the stress of graduation and trying to do my best at the hospital, i just broke down when i got home.
BUT the Lord is good, and He is gracious. He had never failed me yet, and i dont expect him to start today.
2 Corinthians 9:9-10-- And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
