Beauty from Ashes: October 2011

Counting the Blessings Through the Trials

Sometimes I sit and wonder why bad things always have to happen to me. It's the perfect way to feel sorry for yourself, right? I tend to find myself saying that more often then not. Throughout my life I have been taught that the Lord presents and opportunity of growth through the trials that come my way. It's taken me an long time to realize how personally the Lord really does know me. Without fail, any trial that has been presented in my life, I have always had the Lord by my side. The saying really is true. He never said it would be easy, He just said it would be worth it.

Fun (:

I wasn't too happy that Justin Bieber was getting more attention on this trip then me.

Just looking at this makes me so angry. This man is a line cutter. Yeah. When you wait in line for an hour, it makes you bitter.

Nothing like a late night jungle cruise.

Our bill: $107. boom.

We tried to take it ourselves. But the nice man across from us realized we were struggling and saved us any further embarrassment.
