New Year, New Chapters waiting to be written!

The simple things in life are what sustain me in this mess ....things like my little brothers hugs, or even my big brothers hugs:) Looking in the backyard at the mountains, the sweet kisses of my brothers in Christ...I love my life! I am amazed that out of the past three weeks that I have been at home in Redlands God has taught me so many things about who I am and what it is that truly makes me passionate about life...yes I have two homes, but really just one, and that is heaven. When I go back in to the hustle and bustle of reality in Memphis I only hope that I will remember that the sun shines down in Tennessee as well as California, and that is just a sweet reminder that God has been good to me.

I have been down some detours these past three years but everything that I continue to experience is one true blessing after another even the bad times:) Actually the bad times more, for I know that those are what have sharpened and strengthened me!! I am excited about entering into a new year and a new semester; this year God willing I will graduate!! This doesn’t mean an ending of something, but a new beginning of something wonderful!! I am going to miss all my friends in Cali, Ginger, Danielle, Just, Jeremy, Shane, Tyler, James, Becca, all my family!!! and the list goes on....but hey life’s to short, and Bobbi has got a lot more of it, God willing:) So goals for the year, Hey I am going to laugh, cry, love, whenever I feel like it this year!!!!!! And you know what I am going to be the best Bobbi that God has called me to be today tomorrow and till eternity!

“Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;Streams of mercy, never ceasing,Call for songs of loudest praise.Teach me some melodious sonnet,Sung by flaming tongues above.Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,Mount of Thy redeeming love.
Here I raise my Ebenezer;Here by Thy great help I’ve come;And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,Safely to arrive at home.Jesus sought me when a stranger,Wandering from the fold of God;He, to rescue me from danger,Interposed His precious blood.
O to grace how great a debtorDaily I’m constrained to be!Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,Bind my wandering heart to Thee.Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,Prone to leave the God I love;Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,Seal it for Thy courts above.
O that day when freed from sinning,I shall see Thy lovely face;Clothed then in blood washed linenHow I’ll sing Thy sovereign grace;Come, my Lord, no longer tarry,Take my ransomed soul away;Send thine angels now to carryMe to realms of endless day.”
