"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. What do workers gain from their toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. {He has made everything beautiful in its time.} He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it."
-Ecclesiastes 3:1-14

{Blessed}: Christmas Break 2011

Sometimes the best presents, don't come wrapped in packages...


Reunited with family once again after 3 months abroad {December 11, 2011}


Surprise visit from my sister {Missouri to California} for Christmas {December 14, 2011}


All together to celebrate Christmas {December 17, 2011}


Relaxing in Rancho Palos Verdes for Christmas...my Dad suprised my mom and I and whisked us away! {December 25, 2011}


Finally meeting a much anticipated little girl...Hayden Brielle Mehringer! {December 29, 2011}

December was a great month...and it's been a great break...and a great first few weeks back in America.

Looking forward to the surprises and {everyday blessings} 2012 has in store.

Much to be thankful for.

"Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness." Psalm 107:8-9
