-I love this song. And Hezekiah Walker's Cd was one of the Christmas gifts that I got from my sweet boyfriend Tanner:) This song really hit home and has played in my car and in my house repeated times in the past few weeks~

Every body goes through different struggles and problems in their lives and everyone feels like they are all alone. But the truth really is that no matter what the circumstances are or what people tell you YOU ARE NOT ALONE!! God is always there with you and He will never leave your side. The past three years of my life have been very adventorous! Each day I learned to trust Jesus more and more and to never give up on something that you are striving for! God has a plan and a purpose for your life. He never makes mistakes! God never says Oops!! Even though sometimes I felt like things would never work out in the end I always realized I just needed to trust Jesus! Sometimes it felt like the hardest thing in the world to do. And I look back now and realize how crazy I was to not Trust Him whole heartedly from the beginning and to never give up and rely or put my trust in anything else. Wordly things don't matter. I have learned that also throughout the past few years. You can have anything that you want in this world and still not have the feeling that you have when you have Jesus! I spent so many nights lying in bed or in the floor on my knees Praying and crying to Jesus! I knew that He and only He had the answer to my every question and the solution to my every problem! I knew going into everything that I was in that it was not going to be easy but in the end it was all well worth it!

The reason that this song means so much to me is because after the past few weeks and 2 and a half months I have realized just how truly great what I waited and hoped for really is:) I realize jsut how much I should have trusted God from the beginning and when tough times came I should have turned it over to God and said God I trust You with this.... Because You are God and You have it all under control:) I am MOVING FORWARD:) and I want to trust God always in everything I do. I do not want to rely on anything else and I want Him to know that I fully trust Him! God has truly Blessed me beyond! I have an amazing family who loves me and would do anything for me, a sweet gift from God boyfriend (Tanner) who teaches me more and more everyday, an awsome Church family, amazing friends, and so much more.

Just like the lyrics to this song says You make all things New!! Jesus does make all things new and He will forgive us where we have failed Him and like the Bible says He will remember them no more! I thank Jesus for that everyday. I made so many new years resolutions this year. and one of them was to Trust God more and to put all my Faith in Him:)

I can not wait to see what God has in store for my life this year.

New Year's and an adventure in the woods:)

New Year's eve was laid back this year. Early that evening Tanner took me out on our first date:) We stayed in cullman due to the crazy drunk drivers on new years eve. We both dressed up and had an amazing time.

That night it stormed and we stayed at my grandmas until the ball dropped and then everyone went home:) New Year's day I went to breakfast with Tanner at Cracker Barrell and witnessed an old man having a heart attack:( it was so sad and pidiful.
After breakfast we went to his aunts house and spent the day with them for a little bit then came back home that night and tanner and I watched a movie with my mom and dad:)

Sunday we all went to Church and my mom and dad took us all out to eat.
When we got home we all (allison, tyler, tanner and I ) decided to go in the woods and walk:) we had a blast we stayed in the woods for about 2 to 3 hours. The guys found two caves and decided to look in them until tanner freaked out when he smelt the dead skunk.
Monday was just a lazy day until tanner had to leave for work.

This past weekend was very busy. Saturday morning my sweet boyfriend took me to eat breakfast at ryan's:) and then at 2 I had the DAR Good Citizenship program. After the program we all came back to my house and then went to granny's. That night dad and mom decided they wanted to take us to eat so they took us all to Red Lobster and we went to academy. I have the best mom and daddy ever:)

Sunday was cut short due to the weather but the snow was so worth it all:) I'll have pictures of the snow to come:)

A White Christmas:)

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas!!!

This year was a wonderful Christmas:)

The Thursday before Christmas we had Christmas at Tanner's Aunts house and we had a great time.I enjoyed opening my gifts from them and giving Tanner a few of his gifts early. I got him a puppy:),three under armour shirts, a columbia jacket, an american eagle shirt, a nike pullover, some soft pj pants that say espn:), a stocking full of candy and some other little things.

Christmas eve we had Christmas at my grandma's house and everyone opened their gifts. I got the sperry shoes I wanted, a columbia jacket,Hezekiah Walker cd, Fred Hammond Cd, sperry scarf, and a victoria secret pullover from my sweet boyfriend:) and i got money from my aunt and uncle and my grandma and jimmy:) We had tons of food and just layed around. That night tanner and I went to Decatur to his mom's family Christmas and then came back and helped his parents wrap gifts.That night my whole family watched a Christmas movie together and ate taco soup:)

Christmas morning I woke up to my sister telling me it had snowed.:) and sure enough it had snowed alot. It was my first white Christmas and it was beyond beautiful!

My family opened gifts together early that morning like we do every year!!

I was grateful for every gift i got:)a sewing machine, alabama jacket, juicy couture purse, juicy couture wallet, gap outfit, money, floor mats for my car, and some other things:)

I was so excited to open Ziggy's gifts for him haha. Everyone laughed when I told them i wrapped my dogs gifts. I got him a snuggie and a blanket for the house.

After opening gifts dad cooked breakfast and we all ate together. Unfortunately my mom was very sick on Christmas morning and throughout the rest of the day she had a migraine headache and wasnt able to play in the snow with us:( After breakfast I went to Tanner's house and played in the snow with him and opened my present from his parents. They got me a nike jacket:) We had our Christmas dinner at my grandmas house later that day and spent some time with our family! Over all Christmas 2010 was wonderful and God has blessed me with amazing friends, family, and an amazingly sweet boyfriend to share Christmas with this year.
