God Makes No Mistakes!

My life I give to you oh Lord use me I pray

May I glorify Your precious name in all I do and say

Let me trust You in the valley dark as well as in the light

Knowing You will always lead me

Your will is always right

I know God makes no mistakes

He leads in every path I take

Along the way that’s leading me to home

Though at times my heart would break

There’s a purpose in every change He makes

So that others would see my life and know

That God makes no mistakes

And when some day in heav’n above I see His dear face

May I then be counted faithful as a runner in this race

But now I’m trusting in the Savior to show me the way

In His righteousness He guides me as I seek to please Him day by day

I know God makes no mistakes

He leads in every path I take

Along the way that’s leading me to home

Though at times my heart would break

There’s a purpose in every change He makes

So that others would see my life and know

That God makes no mistakes

God makes no mistakes

This song says much of what has been on my mind lately. I know God has a perfect plan even though we cannot always see and understand what it may be. I just hope that somehow my life will be a light for Him. He is so worthy, and it's not all about us, It's all about HIM and who HE is! The true desire of my heart is to live for the Lord. I am far from perfect and I fail Him everyday, but I desire to be like Him so that like the song says "others would see my life and know that He makes no mistakes."

The Great Outdoors!!

A couple weeks ago we went on a camping trip with Scott, Kristan, and all the boys to Cherokee National Forest! The weather was perfect and it was so beautiful up there. It was nice getting away for a couple days and having fun with family. We got there on Thursday afternoon and we left on Saturday morning. I like camping and it's kinda interesting living like that for a couple days but I don't think I would want to do it for very long periods of time. I'm very much a 'Home Sweet Home' kinda girl!! The first day we kinda just hung around our campsite, played around, and I ate way more than I should have!! What is it about camping that makes you just want to eat ALL the time? Anyway, the second day after breakfast we all loaded up and went farther up in the mountains to see some of the scenery, afterwards we came back for supper and to settle down for the evening. Kristan made a big pot of chili and we sat around the campfire talking, making smores, and having fun! Later that night things got a little interesting when Kristan, and I got scared half to death by some sort of CRITTER that was in the woods!!! Turned out that it was just a bird (we think..?) but, needless to say I wanted to sleep in the car!! Silly I know, but you never really know what is lurking around in the woods after dark! All in all though it was a great trip and I'm very glad we all got to go. It made for some fun family memories!!
