Joy

Hi!

Sorry I didn't update my blog on Sunday.  I was in Pittsburgh enjoying time with family. I hope  you had an awesome Christmas with loved ones. Hopefully, you didn't gain twenty pounds....I know I probably did. Anyway, I wanted to update you on how things are going with my missions trip. Now you might want to hold onto your hats people, I have some exciting news. I"M NEARLY HALFWAY THERE WITH FUNDS FOR MY MISSION TRIP!!!!! I hope you held onto your hat, that was some big stuff! I'm so grateful for all the support that got me to where I am now. Thank you, everyone,  for your prayers. God has truly blessed me over the Christmas season. I really don't know how to put into words how much joy and excitement I'm feeling. I'm speechless (and for me that is rare). Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We have such an awesome God!

Moving right along....I wanted to also tell you about a New Years resolution I have for myself.....

 I want to be in the Word more!
I've decided that I'm going to do the Bible in a year with the help of a devotional called She Reads Truth. This app has many different devotionals on it. I've done one on She Reads Truth  already and it was awesome! I highly recommend looking into it. I wanted to start doing the Bible in a year so I can be very knowledgeable going into my mission trip. I want to be able to understand what I'll be learning in classes and I feel that me starting a devotional will help me comprehend what I'll be learning. Also, I want to start this because I want to have a better relationship with Christ. I want to have a stronger relationship with Him. I also want God to teach me about myself and who I am supposed to be in Christ. I've always struggled with self-worth, self-appearance and self-confidence. I'm hoping that doing this devotional with help me become more confident in God which will ultimately lead to me becoming more confident in myself.

Thank you for reading my blog! Talk to you soon :)
