Kinda Silly But...

I have found a way to make my morning devotions more spunky! I put my creativity and love for Jesus together in this little notebook :)

It's my "Devotions Etc." notebook!

But even cooler than that, I'm so proud of my "Prayer Request List."

I totally recommend this for everyone!

My Prayer Request List is a long list of requests that I have, along with the date and a note section beside it to make notes about how God is working in those situations.

(Ex: on Sept. 20th I put down for my mom to get a job and on Sept. 27th I wrote down that she got a job!)

I know a lot of times I will pray for things, and they get answered but I don't even realize it because I'm not really keeping track of it. I just kinda say "Here God, take care of this."

But I want to appreciate everything that He does for me! This helps SO much!

An Answered Prayer

Having grown up around church my whole life, getting pregnant seemed like the worst thing I could possibly do. I remember feeling like God was punishing me and that Mya would be this awful kid who was sent to give me what I deserved. I pleaded with God to not let that be true and that instead Mya would be an angel for me. And that she has been!

"You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good..." Genesis 50:20

Who am I?

Here lately I have felt so blessed! Nothing really new has happened, I have just thought about where I have been, things I have done and how in the world I got to be where I am at today. I know I have been talking a lot about going to Liberty but I'm just so thankful! I never thought I would get this chance since I had a baby so young. And not only do I get to go off to school, I am going to be surrounded with the best people in the world (other than friends & family here)! I keep asking myself what I did to deserve this... but I have to remember that it's not about who I am. It's who God is. He is paving this path for me! I'm so sure that I'm doing the right thing, and that's a great feeling! I'm so glad He is a good God. :)

Doctor's Office Etiquette

Today we went to the Dr. because neither one of us was feeling very well.

But with Mya, there was sure to be some entertainment...

• Walking inside, she tells me, "Mommy, you're gonna be just fine."
• Once we are sitting down in the waiting room, she says, "Who stinks Mom? Somebody does... and it's not me." But about 10 seconds later, she starts giggling. She was the one letting them rip!
• We get in the room and when the doctor comes in, she tells me, "I want to be the doctor." So the doctor tried to give her his little heartbeat thing, but of course she wouldn't take it.

I'm sure there was more, I just can't remember! This little girl has some crazy stuff come out of her mouth!
