Senior Pictures....Life



Well Yesterday was pretty fun...my sister and I took my senior pictures =D
They turned out pretty good...not sure which ones I am going to chose yet. 

<--- Thats one of them
Sheesh getting ready for graduation is a pain...but completely exciting...yet scary ;)
I am very excited to see what God has in store for my life!
My life has been a confusing puzzle...with all these different pieces it doesn't seem like a picture will come out of it...but I have learned to just be patient and stop trying to jam pieces together and just let God have control =) 
God has given me a few sneak peeks but I still don't know what is ahead...I think He likes it that way ;)
He loves surprises =)
God has been spring cleaning me lately...making sure there is no dust under the carpet ;) I have been trying to get in a closer relationship with Him...its sad but I don't always make time for Him...even though he is the most worthy of it he gets the short end of the stick :(

Then I heard this really cool simple message....picture your life as a jar....God is the rocks and all your life and the things you have to do is sand....if you put the sand in first...and God last (the rocks) the lid won't close...nothing will fit...it won't work...but if you put the rocks in first and then the sand....all your life...the things you have to do....will seep through the rocks and everything will fit perfectly...the jar works just as it was designed!
when I heard this I was thinking about all the times I just put my life first and God last....nothing went well that day...It would start it off wrong...I would be more snappy...less patient...not willing to love and think about others then myself....then I remembered the days I started off with God...I was more sensitive to the holy spirit and I could handle the day much much better =) My attitude was completely different!
Wow one decision to start my day off with God can change my entire day! That was awesome to hear!
I pray that I can stay on track more and put God FIRST.

Jeremiah 29:11-13

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me, and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
