Stephanie's Street: Just a few sentences... or maybe more than a few.

Man, this has been one busy summer! I was just telling a friend that I made the mistake of saying out loud one day, "Gosh... I'm so BORED!" As soon as I said that, things got crazy! I have had a blast catching up with old friends, making new friends and spending lots of time with my family!

One of the things that has made my summer one to remember is starting the Bible Study, "Nehemiah - A Heart that Can Break." I asked a few friends to join and it has been SO good getting into the Word again. I'm not sure if you're like me, but when school starts and life gets even more crazy, it gets even harder to make time for a Bible Study. I can't afford to get up any earlier (4:45 is as early as I can stand to see the alarm clock!) but things get stressful and sometimes I get home, eat dinner, and just want to collapse on the couch! So this summer I really wanted to get in the habit of doing a Bible study so that when school starts, I'll already be in the habit!

This Bible study has really changed me already! We have only been doing it about 2 weeks but I have found that I can't wait to open up my Bible and discover the truths and promises found in God's word. Here are some verses that have stuck out to me:

Psalm 119:129-135

"Your statues are wonderful, therefore I obey them.
The unfolding of your words gives light.
It gives understanding to the simple.
I open my mouth and pant, longing for your commands.
Turn to me and have mercy on me, as you always do to those who love your Name.
Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me.
Redeem me from the oppression of men, that I may obey your precepts.
Make your face shine upon your servant and teach me your decrees."

AMEN!!!

And now since I can't figure out an appropriate segue from a Bible verse to my random pictures of the summer, I leave you with....My Random Pictures From the Summer:

I bought a magnetic weekly planner from Target to hang on the Refrigerator at the apartment and I didn't want to erase this! I think I finally did about 2 weeks after our wedding.
