April Showers

Rain, rain and more rain. I don't know about where you live, but we in Auburn have seen ALOT of rain. Some like it, some hate it, I am indifferent until it fills my shoes and my toes are cold. Also, my alarm seems to snooze a lot longer in the mornings than when the sun is beaming through. So, any who... I visited a friend's blog to find "five weeks ago" under my name... has it really been that long? I am pretty sure if I don't post this tonight, I will not have posted in the month of March. Oops!


Well, if it doesn't go up tonight than too bad... the month of March was skipped. I have no idea what I have been doing since February. I could go through my camera and give a list of the happenings, but that seems to have been my last 3 posts. I was thinking I might try to give a short clip of what the Lord and I have been working through together these past few weeks, but I am not sure what is in my head would make much sense on paper. Lets just say that I am approaching the throne with boldness asking the Lord to do big things in and through me. He is a BIG God and He does BIG things, but I often believe He only does them through other people. Not so. So, that's a little glimpse of what I'm sure will be in a future post.


So, I have decided I will look ahead into April. I will list some things I am excited about, looking forward to, and will hopefully be blogging about. I think this list will serve as a goal for upcoming blog material. So here goes...



April Showers Bring May Flowers (and my BIRTHDAY!!!):

In no particular order...


1. My first Spring trip to the beach! Lupton and a few others will head to the beach for Allie's bachelorette! I am thrilled about seeing these girls and getting some one on one time with those who I don't see very often. We love to go to the Beckwith's and this will be a wonderful special occasion, celebrating Allie's trip down the aisle!

2. Work: we will have 7 events in 5 days... I know this sounds crazy that I am looking forward to it, but it's a little dose of the fall. I work best under stress! We have several events I am looking forward to, as well, one being A-Day!

3. Sherri (the woman who disciples me) and I are finishing up Beth Moore's Daniel. It is AMAZING! I am looking forward to completing it and starting her Esther study. Daniel was my first study of Beth Moore's and she is truly remarkable. The Lord speaks such truth through her.

4. Going to the lake!! It is that time of the year and I am so blessed to be so close to the lake! I can't wait to be on a boat in the bright sunshine. Just thinking about it makes my heart happy! Something else that makes me happy... the sight of Captain Bain-Stegall behind the wheel of the San Pan ;)

5. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page you will see the cutest baby ever born! John Harris Taylor will be baptized this month. I am looking forward to seeing Hal and Jess dedicate JH to the Lord. What a special day!

6. The last weekend in April all will gather in Auburn for Allie and Christopher's wedding. It will be the second time this month I will get to see all my sweet friends and this time they are coming to Auburn. I am so honored to be a part of their special day!

7. I have wanted to have a Monogram's and Mimosas shower for quite some time now. I have talked my sweet best friend into letting me try it out on her. Kat's shower is going to be a great celebration of a precious couple. I'm anticipating some really good brunch food (my favorite meal) and some REALLY cute monograms.

8. My FAVORITE event in Auburn, I kid you not, is the Singers Spring Show. I LOVE it! I used to go and envy my BFF Emily for her cool moves and beautiful voice, now I go to watch little Guthrie. SB is such a pro! I can't wait to hear what they have in store for us!

9. Another favorite... my favorite holiday... is Easter! Our Savior is risen! I love the joy that surrounds this beautiful day. I also love the arrival of spring and spring clothes. I am a sucker at 23, still, for a new Easter dress.

10. Our last bible study with the girls! This year has been absolutely life changing, in so many ways. Since May, AM and I have walked with almost 15 other girls through the Psalms, "Faith is not a Feeling," and Philippians. The Lord has challenged us and pleaded with us. We are forever changed through walking this road together. Five precious girls have gotten engaged, two are leaving for East Asia in August, and most will graduate and move to the "big cities" to start their new lives, as adults! I have been so blessed by their encouragement and have loved their fellowship. Although, I am NOT excited that we will meet for the last time, I am excited to see where the Lord will take us! Oh, the places you'll go!
