*Sam I Am*

You are my sunshine.

My only sunshine.

You make me happy,

when skies are grey.

That’s my song to my wonderful husband. My skies are grey today….but Derek never fails to make me happy. Thanks, baby for the flowers and for being the best husband i could ever have prayed for. I love you.

So, here it is August 10th. Sunday night. It’s been a fun summer, but I can’t wait for it to be over. I’m just ready for Derek to get back. Blah. But….on a good note- Several things that are on my mind:

I wanna keep my blog updated

I am completely in love with the new song on our set “Healer”

I am working on getting my certification to be a cycling instructor

Well, it’s getting late, but I really do want to keep this thing updated. It’s so cool to be able to look back and reflect on change. It’s incredible to see what God’s doing in my life even when i don’t even realize it.

So…goodnight for now, but I’ll be back with more!

Love love

 Ohh boy, I miss livin in TN.

Derek comes home in less than 20 days. I cannot believe it! It’s so close, but it’s just not coming fast enough! The days are going by super slow. But- Thank You, God for filling my time with things to do and awesome people to be with. When I look back, the past 6 months have actually flown by. Of course, I’ve been keeping super busy. I made a big move from TN to OK and then another move into a new house in Tulsa. Then, I’ve had about 4 jobs since I’ve been back and I’m just enjoying destiny church and all my friends and family that are here. Some days, I miss TN terribly. I really feel like that city needs something. There are so many people there just looking for love. And I know that God’s love is exactly what needs to be shared. When I worked as a server at a local restaurant there….I met hundreds of people on a daily basis that I knew needed just a smile to make their day. My co-workers, and a handful of army wives I knew were reaching out for a friend. And I pray that when i go back, I can make a difference in the lives of others. Looking back, I can see how much He is working within church, I can see great things happening and it’s about to take over the city. I can’t wait to go be a part of it. I want to be His hands and show them His heart.

I just thought I would pass this along. I wrote this band to thank them for sharing their talent to bring God glory. I wrote to tell them how one of their songs called “hold on” is one that’s really spoken to me recently and they wrote me back!

“Hello Samantha, I can’t imagine what you’re having to go through having your hubby gone…you are making a huge sacrifice as well for something so important, thankyou thankyou thankyou. I will lift you guys up to the Lord and pray that He sustains you guys and lets your marriage thrive in an incredible way.Thanks for stopping by to say hey and tell what the Lord is doing in your lives.
God bless
Collin for 33Miles”

These guys are so cool. Check them out if you get a chance. Their songs are pretty much amazing.
