Second Chances Really Never End With God !

Here we all are at the end of 2010. This past year of my life has been hard and at just the same time probably one of the BESTEST years of my life. I am so BLESS, totally undeserving of everything but because I have JESUS on the inside of me I have made it. And this year, 2010, I feel as if I was a girl given her hearts desires. God so awesomely blessed me with a wonderful man. A man that knows my every secret and still loves me unconditionally. In the past I have worked (meaning labored) for the things I thought I knew were right for me and ended having my ladder up the wrong building ( as my Dad would say), well I allowed God to help me put my ladder up the right building this time. My life emotionally and mentally has completely changed for the better this year. Its only been hard work in the sense that I have kept going, I kept trying, just trying to do my best. But God was with me the whole time. 

Some other dreams that came true for me were I graduated Tennessee Tech with a degree in sociology and a concentration in social work. I'll soon be looking for a job and hopefully find one that I can help people. Also another dream was getting my car, a VW bug, my in-laws made that dream come true faster than I ever thought:) I feel so cool and love every minute I get to drive!!!

Also I wanted to write about my Abbie, she teaches me so much, mostly that I need to slow down and enjoy those moments in life. Everyone has them and wants them and to be able to experience them, it takes me  personally, slowing down and looking at what I have around me. Abbie makes me happy, she is starting to learn how to read and its so precious listening to her sound words out. I hear the word but she doesn't yet when she is saying it. She is growing up so fast and I just want her to be happy and safe and grow up in a home where she is comfortable and free knowing how much my family loves her and most of all how much God loves her too.

So for 2011, I am having to think about new dreams and desires for myself because I have complete d  some of my top ones already in 2010. In writing this I not only want to encourage others but also myself, Rachel, keep going, keep working hard, Don't STOP, keep running my race, keep thinking up new dreams. And always remembering who is on my side. 

Thank you God, My whole Family, Jeromy & Abbie for helping making my year and years to come so Amazing!
Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Happy New Year!!!!

So today I start my writings and ideas, I am on a self journey in figuring out who I am and who I want to be and I hope this blog helps in that process. I am not the greatest speller, but hey that's what spell check is for, and I am not the greatest writer but I do know I  am working towards somethings I want to be. I want to learn how to be more creative in being a wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend, and  homemaker. These so called titles I want to grow and become the best in. So through these online writings, pictures, projects, and ideas I want to find out who I am and what I want to be and share that with whomever wants to read it.

I want to learn how to be free, free in the sense that I allow God to show me the way to have the simple, happy, and full of joy life that He wants me to have and experience. Jeremiah 29:11  - I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.  God is so good and I just need to learn to be the one to trust in him.
