July Doings

Life has been extremely busy around here as usual with lots of activities and and many things going on! :) It is good though, and through all the business, the LORD has been faithful to me to show me ways to grow. I feel this is a very rich time of Spiritual growth for me of which I'm so excited!!! The LORD has spoken to me through my parents, circumstances, friends, books, devotions, church and conversations with my siblings. I always want to be open and willing to change if the LORD brings something to mind that I SHOULD change. I pray for a teachable spirit that I may grow in the image of Christ. I so look forward to seeing what the LORD has planned for my life!! :)

I thought it would be fun to post some pictures of what's been going on the last few weeks! :) Many things, important and not so important... just fun pictures I've been taking. :)

Amanda and I went out the other night together just to take some fun photos! :) One she took of me here!

My Beautiful sweet Sister Amanda!!! I took this of her on our photo night outside! :) Lots of fun! Sister bonding time. <3

Leah and I snuggling!!! I just love her to pieces!!!! My sweet baby sister!! Growing up SO fast!!
My LEAH!!! :) Cutsie!!!
This day, we all were singing hymns and I wanted to take pictures afterward just for fun!
My sweet Beautiful sister Emily was playing the piano for us! :) VERY beautifully too!
Manda snuggling with Peanut after singing!! So pretty!
Darling Hannah!! My chum. She's my constant companion and I LOVE IT!!!
My cousin Sara just got married this last week to Mark!! This was when they were about to leave for their honeymoon! :)
A blurry picture of the CUTE flower girl and ring bearer at the wedding! :( Sorry about that. Greg was able to be the second photographer for this wedding, so he got over 2,000 photos I believe!!! :) He does AMAZING work on his camera and fixing them up!!! He'll have to let me post some of them sometime!! :)
Sara and Mark!!! :) I didn't get their faces. My camera was taking a bunch of dark photos in that church, so I didn't get a lot of nice ones, but as I said, Greg did! :)
My wonderfully sweet Grandma!! :) She and I had a special day together and I asked for a picture with her. At her home, as you can see in the background, she has TONS of picture ALL over her house!! :) It is so much fun just to take your time and walk around her house and ask about all the photos she's taken of when her parents were married all the way up to her 10 grandchildren growing up!
Before Grandma and I had our day together, I had Manda and her take a picture together. :)
Our sweet cousin Stephi came over this month to celebrate a late birthday party for Amanda, so we took a few fun pictures with her! :) We always have so much fun with her.
Stephi and me!!! :)
Who are the best of friends a girl can ever have????!!! If you have sisters, may THOSE be your very best friends (besides God of course!!). I am SO thankful for my WONDERFUL family God has blessed me with. I am just overflowing with thanks to God for how He's blessed me in amazing ways this summer and how relationships are growing and getting closer!!! :) THANK YOU, LORD!!!!
