Christmas is coming!! :)

I always get really excited when it gets to be Christmas time again!! Between all the decorations going up, the weather getting colder, and me having an excuse to listen to Christmas music it all just makes me really happy!! :) Christmas is a time of giving and spending time with family and friends.  I think I'm extra excited this year as it gets closer to christmas break because I haven't been home at all yet this semester and I'm ready to spend time with family and friends and get a little break!! I can't wait to see what's in store for this Christmas, but mostly I can't wait to get to spend that time with my family!!

Dandelions

Lord, search my heart,

create in me something clean.

Dandelions

you see flowers in these weeds.

Gently lifting hands to heaven,

softened by the sweetest hush,

a Father sings over his children,

loving them so very much.

More than words could warrant,

deeper than the darkest blue,

more than sacrifice could merit,

Lord, I give my heart to you.

This song is what gave me the inspiration for the name of my blog.  God is an AMAZING God.  No matter how many times we mess up He always brings us back to Him.  Even though we don't always see the "flowers" in our lives, God does.  

Just Me!!

It's my first time actually posting a blog and have it not be something that I have to do for homework. I'm pretty excited about it, but since it is my first REAL blog, I'm going to use this blog to tell you a little bit about myself.

My name is Aileen and I am a student at the University of Mobile. I work in the Public Relations office with some of the nicest people on campus!! :) I am a junior studying Business Administration. I am super happy with all of my classes and am really enjoying what I'm doing. I really enjoy just being able to relax and spend time with my friends! There is really not much to do in Saraland, AL but between me and my crazy friends we usually do a good job of figuring out something to do (not always, but a lot of the time)!! :) I also have a passion for singing, and have been helping with leading worship for the children's service (1st - 5th grade) at my church for almost a year now!! I absolutely love being able to be involved in my church, especially with the kids!!

Thats it...thats basically all you need to know about my life! :)
