See yourself? Saturday: roomies!

These are some pictures that I found from freshman year--little did we know that we would all end up living together this year!

Have I told you that I have the most AMAZING roomies in the entire world???  

Okay.  Just checking.

This weekend, all three of them are busy--Cat has been at a Desiring God conference, Amie is home for her sister-in-law's baby shower, and Abbie is at home for her sister's engagement party!  Though I'm so happy for all of them, I kinda get a little bit of separation anxiety when they are away--especially now that we only have less that ONE week left all living under one roof.  I figured that it is fitting to feature them on this week's "See yourself?" post  :)

To start off, Abbie is the only roomie that I have yet to share an actual "room" with.  Haha.  However, that will change next year, because she will be my RAR (RA roommate) in Engstrom Hall!  I am so excited to live with her and see how God uses us to edify one another as we serve Him together.  Abbs has great style, an AWESOME haircut and a beautiful voice!  Basically, she's great  :)

Amie is my current "room"mate.  She is spunky, loves to laugh and loves to sleep.  Blogging is her thing and she's about the nicest person you'll ever meet!  Aims just got back from traveling Europe over Spring break and has some incredible pictures posted on her blog.  Amie loves the Lord with her whole heart and I'm so excited to see how God will use her in her role as an RA next year!  Basically, she's awesome too  :)

And last, but not least, Cat!  Cat was my freshman year roomie...we go wayyyy back.  Haha.  Cat has a joyful spirit, a heart for people and a love for God.  She is engaged to Trevor and we are so excited to get to celebrate the start of their life together in less than ONE month!!!  I have so enjoyed getting to live with her for two years now, and I look forward to getting to visit her throughout next school year.  Cat's laugh is contagious and her love for life is great!  Basically, she's great  :)

The next 5 days are our last ones spent together, as roomies.  You guys are the best.  I miss you already. God has done great things in my life through these amazing friends.  I love you all  :)

See yourself? Saturday: A Beautiful Journey

Not only do I have real friends, but I have imaginary friends. 

I know.  THAT takes talent, right?...wrong.  

I follow many blogs, and there are a few that top my list.  

A Beautiful Journey is one of them  :)

Arielle is a sweet young wife to Jay and mommy to Leeland.  She lives out in the country (love) and loves God, her family and photography.  I love her pictures, cute stories and reading about how God is moving in her life. You should go visit her blog!

Hope you enjoy her blog.  I sure do  :)  

See yourself? Saturday: Brittany

Let me introduce yourself to one of my best friends, Brittany.

We met while preparing for a mission trip to Montana last year, 

and haven't stopped hanging out since.

Brittany loves the Lord and strives to honor Him each day.

I could say a whole lot more about Britt, but I'd rather have her just tell you ;)

p.s. Isn't she G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S.?!

The Stats:

Name: Brittany Nicole App

Weirdest thing I've eaten: Cactus

Hidden Talents: belching? lol just kidding!hmmm...

Most Hated Chore: Cleaning the backyard poo

Kindest thing: come and picked me up from my house at 2 in the morning then let me stay at their house for the night and just was there. O ya and someone brought me lunch for the first 2 months of school.

Jesus "stuff":
Favorite Book of the Bible: Either Romans or Ephesians. Both books are very encouraging and demonstrate Gods' Greatness and sovereignty and shows me that no matter what, God still love sme and I am still his daughter.

Latest Answered Prayer: Finanical Aid. One year of school paid for except for one loan the scholarships should cover!

The greatest influence on my christian life: Carley Fonda or Stacey Forbes. I have been doing Bible studies with both of them, Carley first until she moved, and now Stacey. They have both helped me realize that no matter what God still loves me. Stace holds me accountable and is always there for me no matter what. She also demonstrates Gods love so fantastically and shows me what a true christian should look like. There are so many other people that have helped me with my walk in Christ, Morgann, Dani, Grant, and Dori. All of these people have helped me be who I am today and realize the love of God even more!

First thing that comes to mind when you think about God? When I think about God the first thing that comes to mind is his forgiveness. Through everything that I have gone through I know that God has forgiven me and still wants me as his daughter in Heaven one day. Sometimes I forget that God will forgive EVERYTHING I have done, but reading the Bible (Eph,Rom) helps me see again and again how great and gracious our Loving Father is!

What is God currently teaching you? God is teaching me to Fully rely on him and realzie that he sends people to help us out through our life. Also that life can be difficult at times, but in the end, it is all to glorify God and realize he is the soul purpose of living and we could not do ANYTHING without the grace and strength of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Any last words? Ummm God is amazing! Even if you feel alone in the world and that everything is crashing down on you, God is still there. He has a plan for your future and work on trusting everything that happens is for a reason. Not saying that I have this down to a 't' but I am learning everyday more and more about God and that everything I am going through is for a purpose.

I think maybe now you might understand why I love her soooo much.
