Prayer Request

This is one of those blogs that I am not posting on Facebook or Twitter because it is very personal. I am asking those of you who read this blog to join me-join me in prayer for my niece Alli. She is ten  years old and one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Long story short she was having some stomach pain back in November and they had to take her to urgent care. At that time the Dr. thought that it was just an infection and gave her some medicine. Later on, there were 2 spots that showed up on CT scan, so last week she had to go have an MRI done. Of course that is so scary for a ten year old, or even an adult for that matter. I talked to my stepsister tonight and she said that Alli has an appointment in Chapel Hill on Thursday and they will know more then. Please please please join me in lifting her up in prayer. I don't think she really knows what is going on, but I am sure that she must be scared. I am scared for her. I am worried. I can't even imagine something happening to this little girl. I am trying my best not to worry because I am a firm believer in God takes care of his own, and that he is going to take care of my sweet Alli. Thank you in advance!!! 
Praying & Believing!

Life Lately

Life has been crazy busy which is the reason why I have not blogged in a while! Sorry guys-there is a lot to catch you up on. First things first, I turned 25 on December 29 and this was the one birthday that I was not really excited about. My dear friend Anna threw me this great surprise birthday party for me. I knew that we were doing something, but I had no idea what. She had a lot of help from my sister and Emaly! I was really surprised and I was so glad that everyone I love was there including my BBQ fam who mean the world to me. Donia made my cake which was so pretty and so delicious! I am so thankful to have such great friends and family who made this day so special for me!


New Years was good, didn't do much just hung out with some friends. I didn't really make any resolutions this year, because honestly for me I think they are overrated because I don't ever keep them. So I just thought why make them? That is probably not the best attitude to have, but oh well. I did start doing this new thing in my journal that I got from Pinterest. It's called Peaks, Pits, Praises, and Prayers. I am trying to write down these things weekly in my journal. It has been such a blessing already. I have always been one to write down my prayers and journal often. I can express myself better through writing. 


On to the best thing that has happened to me in the past few weeks. I started my internship at Childers' Elementary a few weeks ago. Let me tell you, I LOVE IT!! I had no idea I would fall in love with my kids so fast. They are all so precious. The first weekend I had off, on Sunday I told my mom I already missed them. Can you believe that? I know it may not be that way all the time, but right now I am enjoying every moment spent with them. This week I have been a little under the weather. I went to school on Tuesday, but my cooperating teacher suggested that I go home because I looked like I didn't feel well. I felt horrible-but didn't want to leave my kids. Some would call me crazy, but I just call it love for the children. I am looking forward to the next coming weeks. I have already become so attached and I think they have become attached as well. 


Last thing-the playoffs for the NFL have begun. First of all football is my favorite sport as many of  you know, but I hate the fact that the season is so short. I felt like it just started yesterday, but it didn't. Anyway, the Saints defeated the Lions last weekend to move to the next round. Matt came over to watch the game and we ordered wings and had some great football food. It was a great time and that W helped! So tomorrow we play San Fran which is a really good team. I am hoping we pull through because I don't want to see the Saints stop playing until we have a another ring! Sorry for this tidbit for those of you who don't like sports!


All in all I am blessed girl! Hope you all are well!!
