Come and see what God has done, how awesome His works in man's behalf!

I will tell of the kindnesses of the LORD, the deeds for which he is to be praised, according to all the LORD has done for us— yes, the many good things he has done for the house of Israel, according to his compassion and many kindnesses. -Isaiah 63:7


Deeds of the LORD in 2007

  • Revealed to me that He is the Great Shepherd and has led me this year in ways He never has before.
  • Taught me to pray and love His Church and desire the glory of Christ to be revealed in all things.
  • Humbled me by His holiness and taught me to fear Him and rejoice before Him in trembling.
  • Caused me to cling to the cross more than ever. He has by His grace given me an insatiable hunger for the gospel.
  • Confirmed my call to ministry.
  • Faithfully moved a spiritual mountain that I have ignored for years.
  • Led me to move into an apartment with my best friend Carly, promising that if I obeyed He would provide. I moved in knowing I wouldn’t be working much this semester. I ended up working 2 days in about a 3 month period until I took my nursing exit exam but He gracious kept his promise, and I had more than enough to pay rent, buy food, and bless others.
  • Faithful led me to the end of nursing school!!! Only by His grace will I have RN behind my name! Not only will I be a nurse but he has given me joy in what I do after fighting with it for so long. He knows what is best for us even when we think its something else.
    He has given me friends and a covenant community that fills my heart with joy because of His kindness.
  • He sent a godly man in pursuit of me!
  • He has given me a great job with some of my best friends from nursing school.
    All in all He has poured out blessing upon blessing by His gracious kindness and has faithfully kept me.


I probably could write a book on all the Lord has done but these are the highlights!

LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure.
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. –Psalm 16: 5&6
You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. –Psalm 4:7
