Whew, I didn't realize how long it's been since I've updated. I've been keeping up with everyone though. I feel as if the only thing I talk about when I update is that I don't update enough. I don't have enough to update on though! I stay busy but with just everyday mundane things that aren't necessarily update worthy. I think I've used the word "update" in every sentence thus far. Ok I'm done.

If you have been keeping up for the past year or so you may remember last year when my friend's little boy was killed in a terrible accident. This past Friday he would have been 5 years old. This next Friday (2 days from today) will be the one year mark for his death. I still can't wrap my brain around it sometimes. One year later it is still so unbelievable at times. I don't know how people who don't have a hope and confidence in Christ deal with such tragedies. Who or what do they cling to in such terrible times? How do they cope in everyday life when they can't go on and have no one to turn to who could possibly understand. I am so thankful for my salvation, for my hope and peace in Christ to know that although through tragedy "My Saviour Never Fails" I have watched this family, their mother more specifically pour out her heart to me, I've watched them through the pain of something almost completely unbearable and I have listened to her faith and watched her lean on Christ and trust Him more than any person I have met in my life. It is such an encouragement to be able to witness that to see her faith. It's not easy, believe me, I know and I have watched enough to know that if anything, but when it is all that you have it is all that you know. You have to give Him everything that you have ever felt or need and allow Him to heal you-no matter the circumstance. I am also thankful for God using me throughout this year to help speak words they cannot. I don't want to seem as if I'm boasting about God using me but it has been so humbling to be used by Him in ways I didn't know I could. I just wish I was willing to allow Him to use me more each day, heck everyday for that matter. But thank you human flesh for letting me fail each day. But thanks be to God even more for unlimited Grace and Mercy that he provides daily.

If you have been lacking faith lately and need a little pick me up I have a link for you. It's on my friend's blog and I hope she doesn't mind me posting this (I'm sure she won't) But if you need some encouragement you should get it when you watch this video. Her son is 2 years old and has a rare genetic disorder called Escobar Syndrome. Long story short several surgeries, lots and lots of PT and just about a week or so ago he walked all around the house for a long time.. The video is about 5 minutes long but I encourage you to watch it. When I did, I started bawling and shouting praise to God for his miracles and for their faith as a family to keep believing His promises. The title of the post is "Look at what God can Do" and you can just click on that and hopefully it will work. When you go there, scroll down and on the right you need to mute the volume so you can hear the video!

I think that most of the people that follow me on here I know. But sometimes random people come across my blog also, so for all of you who don't know me please know one thing. There is HOPE. You can go through life with peace and a confidence with Christ to "know that in all things God works for the good.." Romans 8:28-For all of you who have the hope and love of Christ already, I encourage you to go and love on people. And I as well will take this challenge and try to change someone's life with the help of Him who has called me.

Remember to Love, remember that there is Hope, remember Him who saves you.
