a little recap on summer.

For some odd reason I always think October is the official end to summer, I have no idea why.


So with the “official” end of summer comes PICTURES!!!

This summer was full of boys, I was constantly with Brandon, Grant, Kaleb, Mikhail and Khalil, which is good because those five boys also happen to be my favorite boys. :)

This summer was hot one, let me tell you. My house was built in the 60s or something so of course that means no A/C, my car is slowly dying so that means no A/C oh and it was like 100 every day! Haha I’ve lived in worse but still not ideal.

September was a very busy month. Brandon and I started our new community group and the first month was amazing, lots of new and old faces. I really love how quickly my little living room fills up on Thursdays.

Grant, Brandon and I threw Kaleb a little birthday party at my house on his actual birthday since Bianca had to work late. It was fun, we played, watched a movie, ate and had lots of presents!

We took Mikhail and Khalil to the aquarium and the museum.

Bianca threw Kaleb a big birthday party with a jumpy castle.

I also hosted a bridal shower with an Alice in wonderland theme.
Like I said its been a busy month. I love how God works, I say that a lot but its true. His timing and provision are always perfect. I will never get over it.

 one happy boy!

 Bianca is so beautiful!

wasting time.

The other day I read one of the most amazing blogs. It was about how we waste the years of being single looking for the right person and whining about why were single when in all reality our single years are the best time to grow closer to God and to discover who you really are.

“….making the most of being single means being on your own. It’s just you and God. Being single is about discovering who you are. Setting personal boundaries, knowing your likes and dislikes, your passions, and the desires of your heart……if you don’t know these things about yourself you’re going to date the wrong person. You will end up living a story that is unintended for you.”

I just love that quote. It sums it all up. Being 22 and single means that this is my prime time to grow and learn, however I wont lie this is really hard to live out because I am at the age when most people meet their spouses and get married and start having kids, so its easy to become impatient or distracted.

Lately I’ve found peace by reminding myself of His promises. His promise that He has plans for me (Jeremiah 29:11), that He will fight for me (Exodus 14:14), that He will finish what He has started in me (Philippians 1:16) and that inspite of this life being hard He wont ever leave me (John 16:33). Because the truth is with or without a husband God will follow through on those promises. There is no time like the present to live those promises out.

I highly recommend everyone to read the blog. www.goodwomenproject.com
