August

August is approaching and it's approaching fast!   My stomach is crazy right now!  I have never wanted a month to come and go so much. I just want it OVER!!!  This month is going to hold many new things.  Many challenging things.   I am going to just have Faith...  Having Faith isn't always easy.  In fact it's probably one of the toughest things to do is have Faith.   So I am examining my life closely right now.   God has brought me out of one of the scariest times in my life.  He's made me stronger and he answered my prayers in ways I never expected!   I spot him daily in my life.   My job which isn't exactly new anymore, is by far one of the biggest blessings God's given me.   Logos Bible Software is a dream job!   I am surrounded by the most amazing people.  I can't tell you how many of them encourage me daily!  It's just a fun place to work!  Not to mention I get to grow in my faith and I have this at my finger tips.  https://faithlife.com/fsb I have it on my iPad and iPhone it's so nice to have right there with me!   So I see this blessing... I live this blessing every single day.  

I also have the biggest support teams ever.  I have people in my life who love me.  They love me for me.  They take me just as I am, even if sometimes its over emotional, insecure, quiet, or crazy.  They are just there and I couldn't be more thankful!

I am really blessed!!  I know this!  I see this..  I believe this!   Though I am human and my heart hurts sometimes.   I get scared sometimes.   Right this very second I am terrified!  I have no control what happens this month.   I just have to pray that my future is in God's hands and he's going to be with me through each day.  Even when this month is over he's going to be with me.  If things don't turn out the way I want them to, God's undying love will still be mine.  I will still be blessed to be working for Logos Bible Software.  That it's self is an open door!  I will still have my friends and my family...  At this end of this month no matter what happens I will be a stronger person and my Faith will be intact.   That I know to be true!

Also at the end of this month I will have completed a life long dream.. I will have gone Ziplining with some of the coolest people I know.   

Yes, I am still nervous, I may be a hot mess this month but I know that I will make it through, and I won't be doing it alone!

Thanks to all my friends and family who are with me right now!  Love you all!

God's blessed me!

Faithlife


Last year at this time I was checking into Logos Bible Software.  I had known some people that had worked for this company and herd nothing but great things.   I remember thinking to myself.  How I would love to work there.   However I had a job.  I had a job I loved.  I was working at a Christian Daycare as a preschool teacher.   I was getting to share my love for the Lord with small children.  I thought I’d stay at this job forever.  I was not willing to venture out of my comfort zone.  God had bigger plans for me.   I know that he planted that seed in my heart about wanting to find out about Logos.   He was preparing my heart for the journey to come.

After a rough few months God held my hand and kept me strong as I learned to fully rely on him.  My world had crashed down around me and I was given two choices.   Stand with my eyes cast upon our heavenly Father or run away.  Run away from everyone and everything that mattered.  Fall into a deep dark depression that could have led to dark places.   I picked to keep my eyes on our father and rely on him.  It wasn’t easy.  There was a lot of pain and there were some dark moments.   However my faith grew.  I have never been so thankful for a hardship like I am for this.

God led me to Logos Bible Software!  He opened the door for me to work in another amazing Christian environment.  I get to be part of such an amazing company and I get to keep growing!

Which brings me to Faithlife Study Bible, It amazing!  I have always been one who struggles with reading my Bible.  If I don’t understand it I give up.   I know it’s wrong.   I am working on that.  However with the Faithlife Study Bible I can read my bible, and there are detailed notes right below that explains things.  That help me understand what I am reading.  Not to mention pictures and videos!  It’s amazing.   I can’t enough of it.  It is the coolest program I have used.  Not only can I use it on the computer but on my iPad too.  In church I can type the verse in that Pastor Phil has just said and see notes that go along with it.

I am also the kind of girl that might need a little bit of pushing.  Someone to help me stay accountable, Faithlife has a media side too.  So you can join groups.   So my amazing friend who I do a bible study with have our own little group.  Just the two of us.  We can write to each other what we’ve found.  Ask questions.  Leave notes.  Knowing it will all be safe.   I’ve also joined other groups that are public.  I am learning so much.   I seriously can’t get enough of the Faithlife Study Bible.  

 I never dreamed that when I had that first thought of liking Logos that my path would lead me to this great company.   Where I could work and grow.  Where I could watch the Faithlife Study Bible launch and learn to use it in my daily life!
I seriously recommend everyone to check out Faithlife Study Bible and everything else out Logos puts out.  Everything is fantastic!  I am just so amazed by everything!

God is pretty amazing!
