Boundless Challenge Task 7

I talked to my granddad about this since he is very wise and I love talking to him. He told me stories of one of his girlfriends but she didn't want to date him after she figured out her name was Dina and his last name was Soar so if she married him she would be Dina Soar(say it out loud and you get it). But my grandfather met my grandmother through his sister. His sister and my grandmother were best friends. But she wasn't welcomed in the family very easily because of her family background. But eventually all the families got along. My granddad just tells me with relationship to wait and God has the right guy for me. Even some older ladies have always told me that God has that special guy for me. I loved the sermon by John Piper. My church family is very close and reminded me a lot about them and how much I love my church family!

Yes I am writing again

Lately I have had mixed emotions about different issues going in my life I have had no motivation to watch what I eat or even work on my homework. I don't know what has been wrong with me. I haven't been sleeping at night as well I need to. But I just turned on the the After's song Light Up the Sky and it showed me that God is with me. Pastor Schweitzer's sermon two weeks ago talked about hoping in times when things aren't going the way you want them too. I need to focus on that a little more people go through times of trouble and I just need to have some hope. Sometimes I wonder where that girl went who lost 140 lbs. She went missing because for the last year I haven't been able to lose weight. But if I actually tried and counted my points and prayed about it I would most likely be at goal. Haha and the song that came on now is We Won't Give Up- The After's Yes I bought the EP and love it!! My motivation is in me and I am slowly finding it. I am working on my homework as we speak and even wrote a cover letter for a job today! Slowly I am going back to normal just got to keep swimming and praying about it. I wish my grandmother was here sometimes I just need her but when problems arise I think about what she would tell me. Since she died I have grown up and her gone still hurts. But luckily I have my heavenly Father who can get me through this. haha and the thrid song on the EP has to deal with what I am feeling. God is really speaking to me today and I absolutely love it! I'll be writing another blog later with my boundless entry.

CBN

As I am working on homework I am watching the 700 club. Since our church is in our time of giving for gospel growth. I heard a story on CBN of a guy who lost his job but when he started following God's commandments his old job called him back. He was out of work for 3 years after he was faithful by giving. Tithing is very important and I know that I have committed to do it on my commitment card. God is so good to people who follow his commandments. I loved hearing that story of that man and know that God is faithful in everything He does for us. They ended with this verse Malachi 3:10

Boundless Task 6

Task 6!!! Hmm so I am not going to publish on my blog of the people who I am interested in because the whole world doesn't need to know I will write it down. But right not I am just interested in one person and praying about it.

Some qualities I want in a future husband:

1. Must be a Christian and wants to live for God.

2. A person who will be my best friend and we will be able to do everything together including being in the word every day.

3. Someone who can provide for me.

4. Able to have fun and laugh all the time.

5. A family person and wants to have children.

Well I am kinda running out of qualities because I want someone who wants to live their life for the glory of God. It isnt about us its about God and what he has done for us. Its not about what the person looks like on the outside it is what is on the inside. This reminded me of Ephesians 5:22-33 Thats what I want my future husband to be I want it to be like that. I could probably come up with a lot of more qualities but there is nothing more important than my future husband having a relationship with the Lord and wanting to live for God.

Well I'm not too sure if this is too jumbled but I think what I wrote on the boundless site is better written and I will copy and paste is here :

I put my list of qualities in my blog but as I was writing them I was running out of qualities to put. I want a man who is Godly and loves the Lord with his whole heart and soul. To me that is the most important quality I want them to have. I think when a person is living for God all those other qualities like honesty, provider, a person who prays and reads their bible, etc will all follow. I want someone who I can also have fun with and we can be in the Word everyday. I do not go by looks on the outside I go by the person on the inside. I know God has the guy of my dreams out there and maybe its someone I know and maybe its not but time will tell :)

Boundless Challenge Task 5

This challenge was interesting because I talk to my closest friend everyday. But I never ask her if there is anything I can change. I asked her and it took a minute for her to answer. She told me not to be so hard on myself all the time. When something happens I always feel bad. That was the only thing she could tell me to be a better friend. I am going to be working on this! These challenges are getting me out of my comfort zone and I am enjoying it!

Boundless task 4

I am loving these challenges everyday I do them! For the Respect part of the challenge it was very out of my comfort zone. I decided to chose my brother because I really do respect him. Watching his relationship with his now wife when it was going on was encouraging and showed me about biblical dating and what I need to look for in a guy. I also respect him for the job he chose when he could have done something bigger and made more money but he chose something because he loved it. :)

Trip to Jacksonville

This weekend I flew up to Jacksonville. It was a great time with the family. Its so weird with my cousins being older because now we can have conversations about boys and more interesting things going on in our lives. We can talk about college and driving. Before we just played and never got to talk. I am enjoying watching my cousins grow up and seeing the Godly people they are becoming. They have great parents who love them and are showing them the right way. I am so proud of them and the young adults they are becoming! Can't wait to watch the little one Kimberly grow up!
