are we happy plastic ppl?

this week God once again reminded me of how when ever i try to do it on my own strength i end up falling flat on my face! everyone can see though the acting anyway the only one i fool is myself! the only way i can truly be at peace is if i go to God daily and let him cleanse me with his word. even though life still doesn't always make sense i still have a peace that He is in control and that it comes down to trusting and letting go.

This summer have been quite eventful to say the least! back from asia started an new job at Dutchland Quilt Patch of which i love. get to work with ppl, don't have to get up early, time to think on my way to and from work! Kristen graduated from high school, so awesome to see what God doing in her life! she moved in with our family right after christmas and defiantly brings some personality!

this summer also brought a new sister-in-law into the family! pretty much you have to be smokin something to be able to marry into our family 4 REAL, nothing like trying to get 19 ppl's approval! blessing on veronica's pate as she gets the blessed experience of living with our family this week! she is so perfect for joey, makes me smile just seeing them together

God has taught me a lot about trusting him this summer and how much He needs to be the center of my life in order to have joy! He has proven over again that he knows what is best for me even if i might not think so at the time!

God has blessed my life with so many friend of which i am so very thankful for!
