A heart to heart....with words

I am writing a post. No graphics for this post, just words. I am feeling like I need to say 2 things. 

First, God has always provided for me. Financially, spiritually, and in every way shape and form. I thank him everyday for the jobs he has provided for me these past 6 months. Granted, they are random, taxing, and I worked ALL the time, and these things made my life the hardest it has ever been. All this to say, I am a firm and faithful believer in God's perfect and beautiful plan for my life. I know he had me at these jobs for a reason. Working at the coffee shop (Cup O Joy) and as a server (at Outback Steakhouse) was not easy. I am so thankful for the people I met, and the things I learned. I also learned a ton about myself. What I am good at, what I am not good at (yes, it may be hard to believe...I am not perfect. LOL!) Anyways, I could go on and on about this...are you picking up what I am putting down?!?

Secondly, I am writing you today with words and not pictures because I have to announce that I am starting a new part time job. Doing graphic design. Praise the Lord! I will be working part time for a company called Documents and Design (D2 for short). Check out their website for what they do. I feel blessed and super excited to start this new job. I will miss the coffee shop, but am pumped to look back and take with me what I learned. I will still be working part time in the nights at the Outback if anyone needs a bloomin onion or delicious steak fix. Lol.

I found this verse about God's timing. It touched my heart.

It is found in Acts 1:7 (this is the Message version of the bible)
He told them, "You don't get to know the time. Timing is the Father's business. What you'll get is the Holy Spirit. And when the Holy Spirit comes on you, you will be able to be my witnesses in Jerusalem, all over Judea and Samaria, even to the ends of the world."

That is about all I really wanted to say. I love you all and thanks for your prayers :) 

I feel them.

shaped rubber bands

Who knew that these little rubber bands could be so fun, and such a hit. After you wear them/use them, they go right back to the form they came in! How amazing :)
Everyone is wearing them this summer and I am in full support of them. You gotta love the little things in life.

Misssions Trip. Rosebud Reservation, SD

Here are a few shots of the Missions trip. It was a good week. I learned to not worry about what is ahead, and just take each day at a time. Also, I need to remember to be still and know that God is God. Can I get an amen?!? 

During the day, my group was sent out to work on painting teacher's housing in St. Francis, SD. This is what the house looked like when we started painting, just a mess:

This is what the house looked like after, all finished:

We had about 43 highschoolers go on this trip, we got split into groups for the work projects. This was the group that Chris Versteeg and I got blessed with. They worked so hard and were proud of the finished product. Awesome job:

One morning before we stopped at a museum and a BEAUTIFUL church:

I think this is the churches website.

One of Johnny Cash's guitar at the museum:

During the evenings, we took outings and did little events. My favorite was when we drove to Valentine, NE (40 miles away from the res.) and hiked and did our nights devotions in God's beautiful nature scene:

My friend Heather, who was one of the staff members, she told us what to do and where to go. She plays violin, just like me! I bonded with her and we had a lot in common. I miss her. I can't find her on facebook :( 

If you are out there Heather, get a hold of me!

After the week was up in Rosebud, SD...we went to Rapid City for a day. We got to see Mt. Rushmore and other things:

That is the quick look into the week! Hope you enjoyed :) 

Thanks for your prayers and support. We felt every bit if it!

A snapshot from last weekend

Last weekend, David and I went to Des Moines. It was so fun. I love it there. I love my family there. Here are the best snapshots from the trip (photographer: Me-simplyJUDYBLIGH). lol.

 

















First stop Saturday morning, the downtown Farmers Market!

Jayne, this breakfast pizza I ate was for you:

Awesome graphic design posters. I took a photo so I could remember it and use it as inspiration:

Walking back to the farmers market:

Next stop...pool. These slides David went down like a billion times. He LOVES water slides.

We went to this Jazz in July concert at the end of the day (we walked from our house, onto the golf coarse to get there):

David got this toy thing that was so fun to play with. I like when it went under the old persons chair!!!!

Play the video:

Adorable:
