A What?
A NEW CAR!!!!!!
Ok, just a new-to-me car. But it is my very first, very OWN car!
Here's what he looks like.
He is a 2006 Dodge Stratus with only 47,000 miles. His only problem is that he is an automatic and I had hoped for another manual. I bought him almost week and a half ago. His name is Jed (as in Jedidiah). Don't ask me why. That's just what he told me. :)

January!
it's January, people!
School has started for the last time. I'm taking 3 classes, a 2 weekend seminar, and my 150 hour internship.
Speaking of my internship- I start today! Deaconess Pregnancy and Adoption Services has been a ministry to women and their babies since 1900, placing more than 5,000 babies since then. The atmosphere is amazing. These ladies love the Lord, the grieving parents, and the innocent babies. I am already praying God will create a job there for me!!
Break was a great time of relaxation, friends I haven't seen in months, just being with my family, baking yummies and sewing dresses. We usually get 4 weeks off between semesters, but for whatever reason, we only got 3 weeks this time. I didn't think I was ready to go back yesterday, but I am ready now! It's crazy how one day can change things! 116 days til graduation!! Hard to believe.
Had an amazing weekend! It started off with our annual girls night at my friend Katie's house, and ended with a (kinda stupid) movie at my boy's. I didn't realize how much I needed to get away from the stress of somethings that have been happening at home. Even though we didn't sleep much, laughing and talking with my best friends was exactly what I needed before I started school!
Waiting can be so difficult.
My father informed us a few weeks ago that we will now be attending Crossing Community Church. It is a little bigger than I thought we'd go for, but by this point, I'm just ready to "settle down" church wise. It's time we just pick a place and go for it!
Guess that's about it for now. :)

A Christmas Miracle
It all started this morning as I began to create an outfit in my head.
*needs to be long sleeved because we're going to walk around downtown*
*why is 98% of the clothes in this closet short sleeved?*
*what is this? I've never seen this long sleeved sweater before!*
"Sarah, did you buy this?"
"nope, never seen it before, but it's pretty!"
*hmm... that's odd.. maybe it's a miracle!*
(mom comes in)
"mom, have you seen this before?"
"no, but it's pretty!"
*we're all agreed it's pretty*
*it is a Christmas miracle!*
(i put it on to face the final test)
"Rachel, you're wearing a pretty sweater i've never seen."
"really Grace? you've never seen it? IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!!!!!!!!!!"
Beautiful, brand new, long sleeved sweater on the day I needed one. :)
Oh, and when choosing a boy, make sure he has good taste in jewelry!
(for inquiring minds, there is no ring as of yet)

Trust Before the Miracle
Somedays are easier than others to see God's plan.
The other day at Campus Cruasde for Christ hit very close to home. The devotion was about Christ feeding the 5,000, how His disciples wondered how He could feed the 10,000+ people with just two loaves of bread and two fish.
We have enough food on the table, but as a family, we are facing probably the biggest battle we have yet to face. I often wonder how He can "fix" this situation. How can He possibly change the heart of this loved one?
Before distributing the food, Christ *thanked* God for what He was going to do. Being God, Christ knew what God was going to do. Being me, I don't know what God is going to do.
Then He did it. He stretched the bread and fish to feed the multitudes!! He will stretch my family and overcome this trial. I have complete trust in His work- He will complete the work He has started! Can't wait to see how He does it.
((After hearing and reading this stories for years, it's awesome to learn something new!))
