Well it looks like God is still teaching me that lesson about performance. I am still trying to make everyone happy....especially at work and it's never going to happen. If you think of me please pray that I will step out in faith and have confidence....that I will be victorious in living for God first and not people. That I will appreciate people's compliments but not rely on them. That I will keep doing what I know is right regardless of the persecution I might receive. That I will enjoy my job...because it's not easy.

I did get accepted to to the school I applied for and I'll be starting this fall. I have my schedule all figured out and I'll be taking 9 hours. I just found out yesterday that it will take me 4 years to get through school....only 22 credits transferred from 2 1/2 years of school. I'll be able to apply to the nursing school in 2 years and then be full time in clinical's for 2 years. I just have a lot of science classes to do before I can actually apply to nursing school. Never thought I'd be in school this long...but hey, I'll do it if that's what it takes.

I hope ya'll are doing well. I hope God's majesty  is being revealed to you everyday. Let me know how you're doing...can't wait to hear from you!

Love, Rebekah

Hey Everybody!

Still haven't heard from school. I'm getting anxious. I don't think I've ever been more excited to start school. It's amazing how having a direction can drive you....I know that's a no-brainer but I've always been back and forth with my career choices....never really being sure if I was choosing the right one.

Peter, TJ & I went kayaking at the park this weekend. We're so blessed to have a huge state park 2 minutes from our house. It was a lot of fun and very refreshing. We got lost in the woods taking a hike later without a map. It's ok though it was a beautiful day and an unexpected adventure even though I wasn't feeling well.

We also celebrated with Christine's graduation with her and the family at Applebee's. The food was great and I got to know Peter's grandparents better. They are really cute.

Well, I'm learning right now that I can't depend on performance. Do you ever feel like you're always trying to live up to expectations and no matter how hard you try you can't make everyone happy? God has been teaching me this for a long time. It's a way of thinking that I seem to always fall back into. God always has to remind me to live for Him and not for people....to make my goals in Him and not try to measure up in the expectations the people of this world set before me because my identity is in Him...I'm a child of His and I'm here to bring glory to Him. It's a hard lesson to learn for a people pleaser like myself....but I'm getting there.

Love, Rebekah

How's everybody doin'? I've been busy with work and so has Peter. With the big sale going on at my work it's getting harder and harder to pull myself out of bed in the morning. The time sure goes fast but it's exhausting.

So, for everyone who doesn't know...I applied to a local community college. I haven't heard anything yet but I'm going to go into nursing. Peter already volunteered to be my tutor for my math & science classes.  I'm so excited to finally know what my career is. I've been praying about it for a long time and God just revealed it to me. I just hope I can handle the gross stuff....I guess God will give me strength and a tough stomach.

As for marriage...it's a lot of fun. I love being able to share everything with my best friend. Peter and I are still getting used to being a team and making team decisions. We're both used to being on our own so it's a big adjustment but very rewarding. And the bachelors pad is slowly but surely becoming a home. I can't wait to start painting again!

Well, that's all I have. Can't wait to hear from you!

Love, Rebekah

Hello,

Peter combined our sites and deleted my old one but I knew he wouldn't have liked it if I had tried to make his "prettier". There are people I don't get to talk to on a regular basis so maybe this is an easier way to stay in contact. So here's my new site eveyone. Talk to you soon.

Love, Rebekah
