God has richly blessed me!

I am so very blessed! Today while I was sitting in church, I realized the joys God has given me throughout my life. So bare with me while I get mushy and sentimental.
I have an amazing family. I have the best parents in the world! They have opened their hearts, lives and our home to people in need… I can only hope to be as big of a servant in the future as they have been! My mommy has a servants heart that is so full of compassion and love and my daddy is a comforter, a counselor and the funniest person I know! I love my sisters, they bring me joy. They are my best friends and a constant source of comfort! Abigail is everything an older sister can be and more. She is a natural mother and cares for me everyday. She is my stylist guru! She is my fist choice and best company for a shopping date. Bailey has a heart like my mother. She is so caring and loving. She is always wanting to bring joy to others lives in her hugs and gestures of affection. Kenzie is the smartest, sharpest little thing! She has the best memory! She has such a tender and sweet spirit and I love that people think we look alike, cause she is a beautiful young lady.

I love that I have a family that people love and care for. I have the pleasure and blessing of having an extended family that is admired because of my grandparents who have raised our family to be welcoming and accepting to so many people. Grandma and Grandpa Evans, papa, nanna and my nanna Carolin have tried to emulate Christ in their lives and have touched and impacted thousands of people. My cousins are all best friends to me and I love how loud, playful and silly we are when we’re together. Life is always fun and there is never a dull day with the cousins! I cant imagine life without them!

My friends are wonderful! I couldn’t ask for more loving and faithful friends. They are so funny. They really take care of me and help me keep on the right path everyday. I can always count on their love and affection when I need it most! My older friends are role models for me in how I want to raise my children someday and how I want to live a Christ-centered life.

My boyfriend is my best friend. Kyle amazes me with how loving, personable and smart he is. I believe he could be anything he wants to be. God gave him a talent to do so many things. He loves the Lord and is a so faithful! He cares for me and is the best companion. He makes me laugh and smile!

East County is my home and the people there amaze me everyday. God put it on our churches heart to try and live like Christ in community. I consider the church to truly be my family. They are the source of joy in my life a lot of times when I feel like I cant smile. I feel so happy and loved when I am at East County.

GOD IS GOOD!
