Numbers 1

October 22, 2014
I have almost finished Exodus! So... I have started reading Numbers with my boyfriend Kolten. We like to read the same books in the bible together sometimes to keep each other connected with God, and to remind us that God is number one. I am going to try to upload as many devotionals I do of Numbers as I can. Considering college keeps you super busy.

In chapter one of Numbers God has Moses count every male over 20 so they could serve in the army. Each signed up by tribe, except for one and th...

DIY Cards out of Paper bag

October 22, 2014
When I was packing for college I didn't think about bringing some blank cards. I know, what was I thinking? Well of course the opportunity came when a few friends deserved a thank you card so I made some out of a paper bag! It was pretty simple and I got the ideas for the front of the cards off of Pinterest of course ! Here are some photos of where I cut the bag so the paper was fold-able like a card. :)

College

October 9, 2014
About two weeks ago I made a giant leap and moved to WWU to go to college. So far my experience here has been absolutley wonderful, well besides my food poisoning and my now very stupid cold. College is a lot of fun and you meet a lot of wonderful people. My suite mates are pretty darn cool, and they love Red Robin just as much as I do so that makes it 8 times better. Here are some photos of my side of the room I took on the day I moved in. Not much has changed except a few of my photos...

Exodus 23:2 PBJ time

September 8, 2014
"Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong. When you give testimony in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd" - Exodus 23:2


Don't follow the wrong crowd. Seems pretty simple right? We all know that's a lie, and sometimes we even go as far to strive to follow the wrong crowd because they make us feel good, and popular. I know I suffer from this sometimes and wish I could just be "normal" and follow the world and sometimes I do. But guess what? It's not even worth it, not even ...

Haircuts

September 8, 2014
My wonderful boyfriend who is quite outstanding, is also quite the poor college student. So he can't afford hair cuts and his mane was getting pretty long! So I decided to watch a few YouTube videos on how to cut guys curly hair and this is the result! It was pretty easy and only took me about an hour! If your thinking of cutting a guys hair for any reason I highly recommend going on YouTube and look up beauty school videos. They will go through the entire process. Here is a picture of the re...

        My depression was almost gone and my guy bestfriend and I had gotten back to being friends. We began to like each other and we were flirting a lot and then he kissed me. We started dating the next day and it was an amazing relationship, and I loved him. He didn't go to church except for Christmas and Easter, but I was determined to change him. Then after our first month of dating he started to get touchy with me in places he shouldn't have. I told him no multiple times  but eventually...

My Testimoney part I

August 22, 2014
        I'm not the girl I was four years ago, in fact if you had met her you wouldn't understand how I am me. Not just met who I used to be on the outside, but what was infecting me through the inside. In 8th grade my family had joined a new church and I began to understand who he was, so I decided to get baptized for the second time. That was one of the best decisions I could have ever made.
        A month after I began my first relationship with a boy who lived out of town, I knew him thr...
