Normally I would start out this blog post with a few excuses as to why I haven't blogged in a while. However, there are no excuses to make! I always have time, I just have to make sure I set it aside!


June was a crazy month for me! Take the good, the bad and the unexpected and stick it in a blender and there you have it! From sickness in family, Jake detoxing, internship, house sitting, car getting broken into, car repairs, one of my good friends here moving back to Connecticut, trying to maintain adventurous Colorado woman status, visiting grandparents in the Springs, and all the inbetweens I might be the smallest bit worn out! But through it all the Lord is at work and faithfully guides me by my right hand through each day! For that I am beyond thankful and refreshed!


So that's where I want to pick up today...God's faithfulness!!


I know we each find ourselves in situations where we are "waiting" for God to answer our prayers. However, did you realize that He always answers our prayers according to His will and the good in our lives!?


Many of you have been in continual prayer for my brother, Jake, for many years now! It has been a long road of ups and downs for our family! Part of my moving up here was in hopes that he would later join me to check into one of Denver Rescue Mission's programs! I'm excited to say that...HE'S HERE!! I could write pages upon pages of the details that the Lord orchestrated, but I'll save that for later!

Yesterday Jake promoted into Phase 1!! He now has 2 hours of free time a day off site and will be starting Education classes where he will work towards his GED and choosing a career path!

I'm really looking forward to driving down to the Farm today to take him out!

  In their hearts humans plan their course,
   but the LORD establishes their steps.
