July 5th.

God has really been working in Ryan & I's life. God has answered so many of our prayers and opened and shut so many doors. It is so evident God is who He says He is.

Yesterday was Forth of July. We are supposedly a free country. As time goes on, I wonder how free we really are. Socialism is getting into our country so much, and it's so sad. I think God is disciplining our country because it's not following Him like it was once was. Our country was founded on God, and now look at it.
So, we had a family picnic at my Aunt, Uncle, & cousins house. The day was filled with fun, family, food, pool, yard games, hot tub, and more food. Ryan shot off different types of illegal poppers, bottle rockets, and such. It was fun. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with my family. Ryan had off 4 days this weekend which was wonderful. I love spending time with him. We went to the beach today, which was a lot of fun, but we got burnt :( I even used my sunscreen a few times today and I still got burnt. The waves were rough today, I got tossed a few times and I lost my sun glasses. Ryan got tossed along the shore as well. If you could see us, it was pretty funny.

I thought of this song today:

So tonight Ryan and I read Philippians. I love reading God's word with Him. I'm so glad that God put such a great, Godly man in my life. God always answers our prayers. Sometimes he answers with yes, and sometimes he answers with no.

God knows what's best for us. We have to learn how to submit to Him and know that He knows what's best for our lives.
