One of our "fair maidens" turned 22

By
This girl is very special to me.  I am very grateful to have her in my life and can’t believe she is 22 today!  Happy Happy Birthday to you my dear vi!  I am blessed to see you go older one more year, and to enjoy another year in our friendship (which is by the way, as old as we are).  May God continue His good work in you and bring you even closer to Him this next year.  Continue to grow and turn your eyes to Christ as both joys and challenges arise.  Continue to walk the walk of commitment to the faith which has eternal value and is alone able to give true purpose to our lives.  

Here is to you, my favorite verse 1 Timothy 4:12

A time to be grateful

By
Ecclesiastes in chapter 3 once said: To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to weep,      And a time to laugh; A time to mourn,      And a time to dance; A time to gain,      And a time to lose; A time to keep,      And a time to throw away; A time to love,      And a time to hate; A time of war,      And a time of peace. I’m very glad that in our country we still celebrate Thanksgiving Day and that God gives us peace.   It seems that the more we live, the more the world will be distracted from the true meaning of this day and become unthankful.   I’m grateful to pause and again reflect on the innumerable blessings and gifts God gives me in my life!   Seeing myself a sinner and the power of God’s work through the Gospel again confirms to me how much my Father loves me.   All praise to Him.  I want to specifically mention three things I’m grateful for: My amazing and supportive family: our home is the blessed enviro

I honestly don't know where to start to begin thanking God and the people He sent me along the way as I studied these last two years in the nursing program.  I cannot say enough how blessed and grateful I am for this whole process and chapter in my life wrapping up.  The databases, careplans, research papers, patient presentations, weekly exams, weekly quizzes etc. and through all of them God had led me and provided help.  (Of course, now a new chapter opens as I have to study for my state board exam but that's for another entry).   I am so grateful for the spiritual support and power of prayer from my family and friends.  I am humbled and amazed at how good God is to teach me so much about his creation of the human body-honestly, I think we just scratched the surface of everything all these years studying, there is so much more to be discovered and learned. Overall, Praise God! This is a picture of my class #Nursing Class 118 The program has a tradition: the grad

Our dear Katya has finally graduated nursing school! We are so so proud of her and all that she has accomplished! Time really flew by, it feels like just yesterday she was just beginning this journey! God has really blessed her throughout her schooling and it has been amazing to see her grow closer to the Lord through this process. She has been a great example to me as well. Watching her depend on God in every difficult situation and staying strong through prayer has been a great testimony. Kat we love you and can't wait to see what the future has in store for you! ❤ ~Tanya:) Some pictures from yesterday:
