Quick update

Hey all
I've been extremely busy these last few months :P With school, work and everything in between I haven't been able to blog. I will give you a quick update though :) I have decided to try to get my nursing degree. I figure it could be very useful and since I might not be getting married for some time I have time. I took a placement test at the college Wednesday and tested higher than I had last time I tested (surprise surprise, considering I haven't done school since I graduated last year) so there are several classes I don't even have to take now! Yay!
I also have been really thinking and praying about moving out. I have some wonderful Christian girlfriends in town that have a room that I can move into. I really feel at peace about the whole situation but my parents aren't feeling the same.
I've been working full time and even get to be the candy stocker (Haha that sounds funny but it sounds better than candy dealer right? Lol)
Things have been rough at home as I am finding there is a lot that I don't agree with my parents about :P

I would appreciate your prayers for things going on in my life right now :)
Will try to give updates more often :)

Enough snow?

So we have been hearing for the past month that we are going to get snow and everyone was tired of hearing it but when I woke up this morning I would say we have more than enough!

This is my sisters car buried under over two feet of snow.

My little sister measured it this morning and there was 26 inches. It is still coming down!

Though with all the snow I was able to take some pretty pictures of my Amaryllis flower :)

Enjoy! Have a fabulous day! :)

The new year

Well 2011 is over. What a year! So much happened but there is also so much I am looking forward to for the new year. I made a few new years resolutions but I haven't written them down yet so they are still floating around my brain somewhere :D but three that I can think of at the moment are:
#1. Increase my knowledge on the bible and grow in my faith :)
#2. Spiff up my blog and blog more ;)
#3. Work on a budget system
One of the way's I would like to increase my knowledge of the bible is by going to a bible college. I have one in mind so I'll be praying about that one.
And as for making my blog look more spiffy I've already started working on it :) Anyone have any tips?
Anyone have any ideas on a good budget system?
So did you make any new years resolutions? If so, what are they? :)
Have a fabulous day! :)

Adsense?

I was playing around with the settings on my blog recently and I ran into this thing called Adsense. Apparently you can earn money by having ads on your blog. But people have to click on those ads. I am curious about it but I don't want to be scammed so I was wondering if anyone has tried it and can tell me about it :)
Thanks,

Beautiful modesty

Recently I stumbled upon a blog post that had pictures of four girls. As I looked at the pictures I couldn't help thinking "my they are all so beautiful." I realized that first off what made them beautiful was their faith in Christ. You could tell that God's love shown from the glow on their faces :) But something else that made them beautiful was their modesty. You see modesty is truly beautiful. It also a way to express the beauty that God has given you. 
Girls, not only does being modest show your beauty but it also helps Christian young men who are trying to be men of God not to stumble. 
Ladies, please join me in being beautiful and being modest :)

Love and love again

There has been a few issues going on in my family lately and one of them has to do with discipline. I was thinking about this subject late a few nights ago and a thought came to me parents discipline because they love their children. But what about the times when the child just doesn't seem to learn. You can discipline them numerous times and it doesn't seem to do any good. Or how about when the child turns away in rebellion? In that case when the parent is at their wits end, they should do as God does with His children. 
Love and love again. 
How many times in the history of mankind have we turned from God? Or we haven't learned? To many to count! But what does God do, He loves and loves again. Love is extremely powerful :)
This is my random thought for the week :)
