God's love is so wonderful! I am learning more about His love every day, and hope that anything I learn might help others and strike up new friendships and ways to learn!

Life's Lessons
I started a grad class last week and thought I finally hit my stride when God handed me other plans - my aunt passed early Friday morning at about 6:00 AM. I miss her terrible, she was like a second mom to me. She was sick enough though that I am glad she is not in pain anymore.
John 15:12 -13 - My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
Psalm 27: 4 - One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Ephesians 2:8-9 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.
Ruth 1:16 - And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God
Romans 1:17 - For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Philippians 4:7 - And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Hebrews 6:12 - That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
James 1:4 - But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Matthew 5:8 - Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

I am the youngest of 5 kids and am extremely close to my family. I grew Catholic, going to church and Sunday school every week, but it wasn't until a few years ago that I really "discovered" Christ. When I moved to Virginia, and was more on my own, a friend invited me to her churh (Lutheran) and I discovered how much He meant to me. It felt like going home when I am there! I love spending time with my family and friends, and wouldn't know what to do without them. I have several little nieces and nephews, and hope someday I will be blessed with a family. I am not sure what else to write.... ask if you have any questions!
