Visiting Front Royal!

I took a trip to Front Royal this past Sunday to visit some of my very best friends! They were so surprised as we walked into the church service of thier newly started church! I knew they were starting a new church and I have been wanting to get up that way to visit and go to a service- and this past Sunday seemed like the perfect day!

We had a great time! The service was beautiful and then we went to lunch and back to the house for a few hours to hang out and catch up! It was great!

My heart is fuller having seen them all again! It had been too long!

Love them all! Enjoy the photos below of us haning out!

Why Do I Blog?

I have gotten this question more frequently lately... so I thought I would answer it- where else, but my blog! I hope that the fact that I am getting this question means that more people are reading my blog, but who knows!
I believe I blog because I feel that so many people in this world are going through so many of the same things- only we don't know it. Blogging for me is a way to be in contact with people I know, people I dont know and people I have things in common with. My blog is of course a personal testimony of my life and all that my life entails. That could add up to a lot on some days and not so much on other days! I write about many things on here and I plan to get deeper into it- I write about church because I love the Lord and I feel very blessed. I write about family - my immediate family, my extended family and my CF family. I hope to connect with people in the world that may be sharing my experiences and I hope to compare notes! People interest me, they intrigue me and I want to know what makes them live life to thier fullest! I hope you enjoy my posts, I hope you feel free to leave comments, and I hope to make an impact and a change for the better of those I cross paths with!

I believe...

that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

that even when you think you have no more to give, if a friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.

that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other and just because they don't argue, doesn't mean they do love each other.

that sometimes when I am upset, I have the right to be upset, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

that you can keep going long after you think you can't.

that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.

that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had, and what you've learned from them, and less to do with how many birthday's you've celebrated.

that it isn't enough to be forgiven by others, sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.

that the happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything.

Things I Love:

I love my immediate family: my husband Zach, my mom Glenda and the Lord above.
I love being at the beach, watching the sun rise and watching it set.
I love watching UNC basketball, beach volleyball and ballet.
I love sunny weather, lazy afternoons, healthy days, and reading a good book!
I love my cat Zoe, I love to write, look at pictures, and Coastal Living magazine!
I love to laugh wholeheartedly; I love cheese and anything Italian.
I love music, the piano, the violin and gospel choirs!
I love babies, puppies, and a new pair of shoes!
I love my church, love helping people and I love my jeep!
I love spontaneity, a good surprise and surprising other people! I love Target, Bath and Body Works, and Pizza!
I love to sing when no one is around, I love jersey knit sheets, finding things I thought I had lost, and traveling to exotic destinations!
I love whispers on the wind, creative projects, and my husband’s family!
I love Dave Matthew’s Band, going to the movies, and playing Rock Band!
I love driving on the beach and having the back door open in the summertime.
There are so many things I love, I love my life and all those in it.
I love my journey and my adventures, all of them, the good and the bad.
