Slipped

So...yesterday I forgot to blog. I has all intentions on doing so, but most definitely forgot. I fell asleep with my laptop in my lap and in front of the TV at home last night around 9 pm. Totally didn't mean to do that, but so thankful for the sleep I received! :)

Friday started Thanksgiving break for me, praise the Lord! You know, I have some of the most awesome worship experiences in my car rides whether it is just me or I am riding with my roommate Morgan. We jam out and sing to the Lord. Morgan is pretty awesome, by the way. I am so thankful for her being my roommate, sister in Christ, and one of my best friends. I love her!

On my way home I stopped and visited my great-grandmother's grave. She passed away on 10-10-10. I was able to go to the wake, but not the funeral. So, I had not seen her grave yet. It is so awesome to know that she is HOME. A month or two before she passed away I had the opportunity to talk to her about her relationship with God. She was in the hospital at the time with congestive heart failure and I was visiting her. We were talking and all of the sudden she started reaching up to the ceiling and I asked her what she was doing and she said she was trying to get up there. I asked her where "there" was and she said heaven. It was then when I asked her if she knew for sure that she was going to be with the Lord when she died and her response was "Absolutely!" She said that she couldn't wait to go because there would be no concerns or worries about anything. She said that she knew she loved the Lord with all her heart and she had a great relationship with Him. She then asked me about my relationship with God. :) I loved it! She had Alzheimer's and multiple other things going on with her in the last few months of her life. She lived 97 years and was blessed with 3 children and I think 45 grandchildren. I am so glad and blessed to be one of them. :)

Today I got hang out with my mom most of the day. We went to Peterman Station Day Festival and shopped around. We also got our favorite Chinese food. Then, I got to hang out with some awesome people tonight like: Sarah, Neal, Kayla, Ryan, Brittany, Garrett, and John. I love having conversations about our awesome and amazing God!! I am so thankful for times like tonight. We were able to share about what God is doing in each of our lives and how God is working everything for the good. As brothers and sisters in Christ, we are able to grow and learn from each other, which is AWESOME! I really needed this tonight and just absolutely love that every conversation had God involved somehow, someway. It is very rare to have that nowadays. I wish I had that group of friends in Livingston and that there was not just a few of them.

Ahhhh..God is so awesome and it is so amazing to see, realize, and know that He is working in your life and is holding your world in His hands. It is also amazing to be at complete peace about everything. There is no stress, concern, worrying, or anything else!! It is an indescribable feeling!! It really and truly is!

Anyways, I am out for the night. Holla!
