I spent the weekend with some pretty awesome ladies. I truly couldn’t get over how incredible all of them were and what an impact they all had on me. I feel like I’m moving so fast in my growth with the Lord and to see such inspiring women who have the same values I do was so awesome! As we sat and watch God paint the sky I took this picture. Sometimes I can feel Gods presents in the room. Like he’s right behind me.

As I sat there watching the sun slowly go down I wanted to take picture and remember everything I could. I stopped and realized that a storm was surrounding us on both sides yet we had this bright sun shining on all of us. While others were fleeing the thunder and lighting we continued to watch, with the sun shinning brightly on all of us, in complete awe of what the Lord created. I came to realize that sometimes that’s how faith is. The storm comes and people are fleeing, some even telling you to flee but yet God continues to stay and endure the storm with you, shining as bright as the sun. It takes a lot to endure life and it takes alot to keep your eyes on God but just remember through it ALL He will continue to shine.

Thank you to all of you for showing me what the bright light and new life looks like. For encouraging me and enduring this crazy life we live. Here’s to many more years of sunshine and maybe a couple of storms but definitely to many more years of faith, love, endurance and encouragement to handle it all.

Romans 15:4

For everything that is written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance taught in Scriptures and the encuragement they provide we might have hope.
