National Day of Prayer

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." ~ Philippians 4:6

Let this day be a reminder to bring EVERYTHING to God in prayer, He cares about every detail in our lives and every struggle we face!

Good Friday

♫ We are the reason that He gave His life, We are the reason that He suffered and died. To a world that was lost He gave all He could give, to show us the reason to live. ♫

Patience

Psalm 40:1
I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.

My heart is yearning for something right now, but I just can't have it yet. Lord, give the patience to wait for your timing.

Trying to change more than my hair color

Last Friday I changed my hair color to Chocolate brown! Most people like it and so do I, so I think I'll stick with it for a little while :)

More than just my hair color, I've been trying to change a few things lately. We get so caught up in our daily selfish lives that we forget who we are supposed to be for Christ. The last few months I've been thinking alot about who I need to be and what I need to do and searching for the answer of the meaning of a life full of purpose.

I took a walk in the beautiful spring weather yesterday and just talked to God. I know if I want true happiness I need to be in His will. Whatever He needs from me, I need to obey. He may not be able to show me the whole picture right now, but I'm just praying that He will daily guide me in His will.

Today I was thinking alot about humbleness and being slow to anger. I may look like a cute little blonde (not any more!) but surprising to some, sometimes I let my anger get the best of me, and I've been praying for God to help me.

Saturday night I watched "Gone with the wind" with my mother in law and sister in laws. I don't remember names, but the main character was such a selfish person, and the lady who married the man she loved, was such a kind considerate person, exactly what I want to be. I know I want to be that kind of person who loves all, but sometimes the thing that holds me back is the fear of being walked all over and taken for granted. But I guess it really doesn't matter if they do, because I should be doing it for God, not them. I can't remember where right now, but somewhere in the Bible it tells us to do good, but not let our left hand see what the right is doing. If we do good things just get a reward or thanked for it, that is our only reward. But if we do it in secret without recognition, how much greater will our reward be in Heaven!

God, help me to become the person you want me to be.

Hello my name is Mrs. Brittany Hubbel :)

What a whirlwind the past month has been! The wedding went perfectly (thank goodness!) and I couldn't have asked for a more fun reception! I was afraid since we were having an afternoon reception that people might not dance, but the first song played the dance floor was full!

I know everyone was wondering where we were going on our honeymoon (including me!) and we ending up going to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! We stayed at the Riu Hotel Resort; it was just gorgeous with the ocean, palm trees and Sierra mountains surrounding us! We even went whale watching which was a blast! (Joel might disagree, he got a little seasick) But overall it was a great relaxing week in a beautiful place :)

But I am so relieved now that the wedding is over and life is back to normal, the new normal. We love our small apartment in Byron Center. I am keeping busy working and babysitting, and Joel should be able to go back to work in the next few weeks.


PICS!


We are still waiting for pictures from our photographer but here are links to my pics on facebook:
