John 15:1-11

Jesus says-
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.
If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.
If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full."


Dwelling on Gods love and faithfulness this morning. Praying to be more like Christ -- something I can't do on my own but through trust, faith, and abiding in His love.

Here lately

My nephews are growing up!

Evan is now 10 months!


Ethan is almost 3!


On my days off from work somehow I end up spending time with this little guy.
Me and Toffee at the U.S. whitewater center.


What I'm listening to:
I love this CD- will always be a favorite.



What I'm reading...

I mean what can I say nothing really. I've started a few, but haven't finished them yet. I should get on that.



What the Lord is teaching me lately:

His faithfulness never fades. My worries are nothing in the shadow of the cross. Christ paid for everything, what should I worry about?

Life These Days

It's been a while since I've written anything on here. I should definitely blog more. The past two months have been different for me. In the beginning of December I had two interviews with the City of Charlotte Utilities department. Both interviews went well. I ended up getting a job at a wastewater treatment plant in Huntersville. So for the past month that's where I've been; training to eventually work nights (starting next week actually). It's amazing to finally have a job! With benefits! The thing about working at a wastewater treatment plant is that it has everything to do with environmental health! I look forward to where it will take me in the future.

I miss and love you all. Hope everyone is doing well!
