To Write Love On Her Arms

When hope is gone the devil likes to say that no one else cares, no one understands, and no one loves you. I've experienced this many times and sometimes just knowing someone understands what you are going through makes all the difference. The TWLOHA street team provides a way for me to stop focusing on myself and focusing on others. I can't be depressed when I'm focused on helping others. :)

Now for my opinion, The Letter Black is definitely worth your time. Lead singer, Sarah Anthony, is one of my favorites. Honestly, the music itself isn't anything that any other great rock band has. The Letter Black has something better that sets them apart in my mind and that is their vocals. I highly recommend checking them out, I don't think you will be disappointed. :)


This is my favorite video, the song is "Fire with Fire"

And this is my favorite song, "Believe"

I hope you enjoyed them!

God has better plans! :)

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania :)

 Last summer I had the opportunity to go to Mexica on a mission trip. I was really excited. I got my passport and was ready to start raising support but then I got news that the trip was cancelled. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. I wanted so badly to go on a mission trip so I searched everywhere to find a trip but nothing worked out. "God, what are you doing?!" I remember screaming on many frustrated occasions. Then one day I was complaining to my friend Anna about how frustrated I was and she suggested going with her church, so I did. We went to Pittsburgh and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I thought this was a one time thing, what I didn't know was God had a bigger picture in mind when he rearranged my summer.

Confirmation :)

Anna's dad is the pastor of her church and I had heard him preach a few times before I went to Pittsburgh. I loved hearing him preach but never really considered switching churches until I went to Pittsburgh. When I got back I felt like I needed to do more so I began praying about switching churches. I felt like God kept saying "Yes, Emily you need to do this. I have big plans for you there." I recently went through Confirmation Class and became a member. I know I am exactly where God wants me and I am excited about what he wants to do through me. I am so thankful that his plan is so much bigger than mine. I am so thankful for the relationships he has placed in my life because I went to Pittsburgh last summer.

I want to encourage you. When you feel God keep shutting doors, it's because he's opening BETTER ones! :)

It's snowing! :)

My Aunt & Uncle's backyard :) 

There are some beautiful things happening outside the window. There are a ton of fluffy white flakes falling from the sky. :) These beautiful flakes are blanketing the ground and dressing the trees. It is a beautiful winter wonderland! :)

Today I am very thankful for family. I have gotten to spend time with my Aunt Susan today and I really enjoyed that! :) We got coffee and then hung out at her house.

Once again if you have any prayer requests comment below and I will pray for you!

With love,

Hello!

Do you thank God because your circumstances are good? Or because your God is good?

With love,
Emily
