Wow! Isn't God so good?! Recently, I have become even more aware of God's amazing love for me! He has been so kind to bless me with the opportunity to be with someone very special...Sean Kopinski. I know I don't deserve to be with Sean...and I think that's why I realize how much God truly cares for me and loves me. Sean and I are both very excited to be going through this time of Courtship together. We will be reading the book Boy Meets Girl...we haven't started it yet but are very eager to so that we may explore and most importantly apply the ins and outs of a Godly relationship. One verse in particular has been kinda like my life's theme...I have had the opportunity to share it with others, and other have shared it with me as well. Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the plan I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." This verse speaks such truth...God knows the plans He has for Sean and I...what an amazing thought that is! Thank you Lord for all your countless provisions and blessings!
Why am I walking on sunshine you may ask...well...because I have an amazing Saviour who died for me, wonderful family and friends who will always love and be there for me, and the incredible privilege to go through this time in my life with my best friend, Sean! :)
Your goodness
Found us in the darkness
Rescued us and freed us
Cleansed us from within
You saved us
Freely You forgave us
Counted us as righteous
And heirs with Your own Son
Chorus
Isn’t He good, isn’t He kind
Hasn’t He blessed us time after time
Isn’t He good, all of our days
With endless mercies
And ceaseless grace
Oh let us sing: He is good
Your mercies meet us
With the daybreak
And every breath that we take
Points us to Your grace
Your power
Keeps us till the hour
Every knee will bow and
Worship Christ alone
Isn't He Good
Words and Music by Stephen ALtrogge
God's Amazing Grace!
All I can say is wow! God has been so good to me and I am so aware of His amazing and unending grace and love! Thank you Lord for all your provisions...specifically for bringing such an amazing friend into my life! What a wonderful and caring God we serve!
"You make me smile like the sun,
Fall out of bed,
Sing like a bird,
Dizzy in my head,
Spin like a record crazy on a Sunday night.
You make me dance like a fool,
Forget how to breathe,
Shine like gold,
Buzz like a bee,
Just the thought of you can drive me wild,
Oh you make me smile"
"You make me smile like the sun,

You make me dance like a fool,
Forget how to breathe,
Shine like gold,
Buzz like a bee,
Just the thought of you can drive me wild,
Oh you make me smile"
The Curtain Rises and the Curtain Falls
Every morning I wake,
The curtain has already risen.
Every night before I sleep,
I watch the curtain fall.
If I should wake with dreams of fright,
The curtain then shall rise.
To shield away all evil thoughts,
And help protect my eyes.
This curtain is one of many colors,
And of all different shades too.
It may seem simple with just one glance,
But it is not, of that I assure you.
Some days it's pink,
All fuzzy, soft and warm.
Other days blue,
Very sad, tired, or easily torn.
Most days it's red, or green or yellow,
Like all the colors of the world.
And on rare days it's gray, dark and bleak,
Like everything is all twisted, bunched up and curled.
Although I'm happy to say the gray does not linger,
For that is when the curtain falls.
It rises then with the colors of rainbows,
Like as soon as the daily shower withdrawals.
The curtain sets the mood of its day,
Even before the whole world has begun.
For when it has rested and the sun's at its peak,
Well, by then the curtain has already risen.
It pampers to all the needs,
Making sure everything is well and right.
And when the curtain is ready to make its presence known,
You can tell by the bright shining sunlight.
Near the middle of the day,
The curtain falls for a brief moment or two.
But as soon as the audience returns from its short intermission,
The amount of seats left are quite few.
The curtain then braces itself to rise once more,
For it knows the show must go on.
All the while glancing at each member of the audience,
Seeing some sneeze, or snooze, or yawn.
The curtain serves so many purposes,
Of one I will tell you now.
It is one thing that will never fade,
Unless painfully removed like that of a unibrow.
When the curtain has risen and is refreshed,
It has the ability to make others laugh, cry, or weep.
And I shall say again, this curtain is one of many colors,
So pick one and see how easy it is to keep.
It's the end of the day,
And the curtain starts to fall fast.
When it reaches its temporary resting place,
The curtain can then think of the day that had past.
I sit beside the tired curtain,
As she begins to drift.
Off to never land, wonderland, away,
Hoping her dreams do not take shift.
Then as I watch with much interest,
I see the curtain fall to complete.
To watch those eyes fall with so much peace,
Is a memory I'll keep till my last heart beat.
Then I whisper "I love you, mommy",
Into the ear of the sleepy curtain I adore.
And as I walk away I hear her say,
"No, I love you more".
And the curtain rises,
And the curtain falls.

Contentment and Jelly
Lately I have been very convicted of being content with where God has me in my life. He has set before me the things I need to concentrate on right now...instead of letting my thoughts drift away into the future and think on things that haven't even come my way. Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." It's hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that our Almighty Maker has planned every moment of my life out, down to my very last breath. He placed every hair on my head and every thought in my mind. What an amazing God! Trust and contentment...they always go together...like oreos and cold milk, or peanut butter and jelly. I can't imagine how anyone could be content in God without putting their trust in Him as well. It can't be done! Being content is saying "Okay God, I am handing it all over to you. Any situations that come my way, hard or easy, good or bad, it's all yours. I'm trusting you!" How amazing our God is, that he becomes a shelter for us at any given time. Thank you LORD!
