I got a sudden itch to update my blog! :P

2011-01-11T08:45:00.000-08:00

Hello, everyone! I know it's been awhile again! :P
If you can't remember who I am,-my name is Rachel, Rachel Heyworth, soon to be Rachel Wegner! :D I like the sound of that- mostly because it would mean that I then would be Ryan's wife!

Things have been interesting lately, I have so many weird emotions that I've never experienced before.-I don't even know how to define them, or where to place them, or where they even came from. haha, Yeah I know, confusing. :P Like I'm very ready to get married, I don't feel like I belong anywhere else apart from Ryan, but at the same time, I know, that once I marry, that's a whole new life right there. Like, the life I always new (and loved) is gone, done, over with! And a new half is just beginning. It will be wonderful, I know! But it's also (don't get me wrong) but kinda scary too. Suddenly your the wife and mother that you've only watched all the other women being, all your life. -And your wide open to making mistakes that could mean a whole lot more than it did before, when you were just kinda more in the back ground. And even knowing that there's just so much more that I can't even comprehend at the moment is quite sobering, and scary. But I do know with all my heart, that I love Ryan, haha I love him so much it almost hurts. I can go crazy sometimes with how much i love him, because I know that he loves me very much- but I sometimes fear that I'll lose him, I know I won't. But I don't want to, and the thought of it kills. I know I'm not going to lose him at all, he is such a wonderful guy, he loves deeply, and I can rest in that. And Jesus, He has been telling me lately to trust, just trust, and be anxious for nothing! "Trust me" I feel like Peter you know, when he walks on the water towards Jesus, but along the way he got distracted by the danger surrounding him, the big waves and the wind. When he took his eyes off from Jesus, he started sinking. He cried out to Jesus, and Jesus pulled him back up. I do that in life so many times, I start out all eager, and ready to get to Jesus, to know Him more, to reach out and touch him, but through this life's process, I get scared of everything that could happen, or just simply feel like I'm never going to get there, and stop trying for a while. But Jesus, His love is so great, that He pulls me back up out of the water. -Puts me back onto my feet and faces me towards that big scary world again, and tells me not to worry, He's here with me, and He'll catch me when I fall, show love, when I need His love, correct me justly when I've disobeyed His word, and show an overflow of His mercy! All because He loves me, and His love will never let us go! And if He started a good work in you, He'll be faithful to complete it! I want to live for Jesus Christ! And I know Ryan does. I look forward to our life's journey toward holiness, and love together. Together we'll follow Christ, and face the world, together! I thank God for meeting my need and bringing a friend and companion whom I will soon be able to call, even, my husband. I thank Him for allowing Ryan into my life. Jesus saw the need, and provided a wonderful man for me. I thank God for blessing me with a good home, my parents loved me enough to take the time out and teach me the Lord's ways; and to listen, and hear for His sweet voice. My parents are such good parents. I owe them so much, but have a tendency to push that aside. But it's too great, and important to me to not tell you all how wonderful they've been to me, and still are. I sometimes take it for granted (outwardly, I really don't inside) that my parents are always going to be there, because you know, they are. They've been there all my life, but I had an empty thought, that, someday (Lord willing, very far away) they're NOT going to be there. That's terrible to think of! I want to bless, and be a blessing to my parents, the way they have me, all these years. I want them to know, that I really appreciate them. Not just assume our roles, I'm their daughter they're the parents, of course they know I love them. No, they need to hear it, and see it. I want to show it more. If you guys want to remind me of that from time to time that would be great! Here are some verses I keep coming across lately:

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you."
"Think on these things"... Jesus holds us all in the palm of His hand. He's with us for always. I want to honor Him and be a servant of His. With His help, I will. And i am so thankful for everything He has given me, and everyone! If your in my life, know that i do love you. Way more importantly, know that Jesus loves you so much, and desires that we love and honor Him! Listen for that still sweet voice that calms the sea, And know that He is God, our Father! Listen. Think lovely thoughts, Think Jesus. Live for Him! Make it a point to talk to Him through-out the day, He wants that we would consider Him our best friend.
Sorry for being kinda random. I feel better now, anyway :D

Ok these are all out of order! But, there's fall pictures, pictures from mackinac, cedar point, and from back when... :)

I've been tagged by Katie! :)

2010-01-14T17:35:00.000-08:00

I've been tagged by Katie; from KatieWegnersblog :)
Katie is not only a blogging friend; I also have the privilege of knowing her personally. :) She just started blogging not long ago, and has already posted quite bit of neat pictures! I really enjoy her blog! And I’ll say-- Thank you Katie, for tagging me! I really needed to update my blog! :D

3 Recent blogs I've followed: KatieWegnersblog, AmyWegnersBlog .

Have you ever been to a rodeo? Yes I have, twice actually. But the one that stands out to me most, was in Wyoming! That was an awesome rodeo; I doubt I’ll ever see one to match it! :)

Have you ever tried to ride a cow?
Haha No, not a cow. But, I did for a fact ride a bull! :D I guess I should probably say it was an electric one; but it wasn’t easy in the slightest, that’s for sure! :D

Have you ever milked a cow or goat?
Yep! :)

Have you ever been to a demolition derby?
Yes, unfortunately. It was um, weird, lets just say. :D

What's your favorite country song?
I don't know of many country songs. I guess the two that stand out most, would be:
"Jesus take the wheel"--Carrie Underwood. And "I just call you mine"—Martina McBride.

Do you like to hunt?
Hunting for cloths?! Hunting for a Starbucks?! Yeah! :P I have never done the real thing; I think it would be kind of cool, but I don’t know. :)

Have you ever cooked your breakfast over an open fire in your backyard?
Lol. Yes, but it didn’t turn out so well, I was like 12. :P
But… while camping, my dad cooked a really good breakfast over the open fire
(I helped, sorta. :) Now I don’t usually like breakfast, but I must admit, that was a really tasty meal! :D

Have you ever thought that the muck was shallow and when you stepped in it, you sank knee deep?
lol No, not quite like that. I’ve been in my share of muck though, I just went about it a bit differently, I guess. :D

What is the hardest thing you have ever done?
Hmm. Well, I think really, the hardest thing for pretty much everyone, is letting go of something very important to them. And that’s pretty well varied in life. Everyone has had to let go of something; it’s not the same for everyone, but all in all, I think it’s summed up to be quite painful. But it’s always comforting to know that God is always there. He blesses us, far beyond what we deserve. I know for myself anyways, I don’t deserve anything! But He for sure has blessed me. :)
Haha. Ok that’s kind of a long answer. :D

(The question is optional) what’s one of your most embarrassing moments?
I really don’t want to say! :D But I will. I was running in the Mijer parking lot, along with one of my sisters. Well she slipped and fell, and as I was trying to dodge her, she accidently kicked my feet out from under me, and then I went crashing down. I bloodied up my knees, and hands pretty bad! The embarrassing part of this was-- We were approaching the building right when it happened. So, we walked in, trying to hide the wounds,:D but the blood was seeping through the cloths; had to clean up before we could proceed with our shopping. Yeah, I know, I really need to grow up one of these days. :P

I'm going to tag:

Sometimes when I feel down,

all I have to do is look around me at the much beauty of God’s creation.
How he carefully and lovingly crafted everything into having its own special unique look.
How he outlined the flowers to where you know their all flowers, but they all have their own beautiful shape and color.
How he makes patterns of the sky with the clouds the sun the stars and moon.
Every ripple every wave every rock in the waters are placed and timed just right!
The design of each leaf, the shape of each tree.
The vast beauty of the bold Mountains that stand tall and strong.
Just by looking around at all these marvelous wonders that were formed by God; You know
his love is all around us. He is a caring creator, and when you stop and think of all the care he puts in these earthly things; I then remember that his love for me is greater! He made all this beauty for us to know he is truly an awesome God!
When I feel that the world is caving in, Jesus some how always smiles at me and it’s not just any smile it’s a smile that hugs you. :)
So when I have a rainy day I like to think of what exactly rain does. It help’s things grow it washes impurity’s away and leaves vibrant color. So after it rains and if I allow nature to take its course the way God designed. Then I will be that much closer to God. Stronger, clean, joyful and happy; because I just went through something and came out ten times better because
My Jesus stuck with me and helped me through!

"All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness." Hebrews 12: 11

"Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,
knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." James 1: 2-4

I had to totally depend on Jesus because I was lost discouraged I didn’t know what to do or where to turn.
Why Jesus always wins?
Because love defeats all! His works are all based on love the love he has for us. He invested everything into us! And when I think of that, it’s like I have absolutely no rights at all. Only because of the blood of Jesus, do I have a reason to live.
We’re just totally useless and helpless without him.
But he still loves us! It doesn't matter what people say or do to you. Things are going to hurt you all your life. Satan is going to bother you all your life.
Jesus!! Will be with you all your life if you ask him too, if you have faith and believe HIM!
I thank my awesome God sooo much for his promise to never leave me!

I found this song and I really like the words they’re so true!
I didn’t know how else to get it on here. So I made a slideshow and found some neat pictures we took, they fit good since I talked about God's creation! :)

God bless all of you! :) Love in Christ, Rachel

Hello everybody!
I am guilty of withholding this from you for about a week now. I just couldn’t get myself to post it, but I realized that it was once again pride :P keeping me from doing so!
SO!! :D here it is.
I was reading Romans 8 with a sister of mine, and even though I have read it before
It’s amazing how you can get something new out of it each time!
Lately I’ve been feeling sort of restless, jaded, etc, etc, Not trusting God!
I know that I should trust God, my life is in his hands and whatever he does with it is his perfect plan for me. But Sometimes I just want the answers now!! I want to see a little bit into my future. I keep asking God "what do you have in store for me?" I know this might sound terrible but this is the way I’ve been lately. : P
Well… He gave me this.
28 And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose.
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?
34 who is he that condemneth? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 Even as it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long; we were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 it is after reading all that, then can I say; For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. WOW!! :)
I get easily distracted with thing's, it's so easy to do that. I don't usually realize how much I've wondered away til I get pretty deep into whatever it was I would be doing, unfortunately. :P
The wheel of this world spins around so fast and yet some days it feels like it’s not even moving at all!
I just need to rest in Christ Knowing that he is the way truth and life. I need to live day by day doing the things God would have me to do, boasting not of tomorrow.
I need to live each day as if it were my last because I really don't know when I will take my last breath. I only pray that when I do, my life would be honoring to God.
We need to develop a close loving inseparable relationship to Jesus; it’s easy enough to say I love him, But how much do I really love him when I allow all these things to distract me?
I want such a love for Christ, the kind that when a loud tumultuous storm comes my way I will be able to hear him, to know his voice.
I am so overwhelmed with the indivisible love Christ has for me, he's always there for me, he holds onto me. I let go often but He pulls me back up and puts me back on that narrow path.
I am so unworthy of his love, But I'm very grateful for his love because without it I would be very lost. I would have no purpose in life, it would be empty.
I invoke Jesus Christ, only in him can I trust my life with.
He is the only reason for my existence, the one who makes life worth living. I praise his awesome, wonderful, amazing, name. I thank him for who he is and what he's done.
With the strong help of the Lord through his love we are more than conquerors, and we can win, in Jesus name!
I hope that made any sense, it made me feel better anyways, just writing it down.: D
God bless you all!
Love in Christ, Rachel Heyworth

I thank my Grandparents and honor them for being a Godly example to everyone.I am happy to say I was able to celebrate with them their 50th wedding anniversary, Praise God!!

picture with some of the people who stood up in their wedding.

Singing! :D

trying to not mess up! :P

awww... :)

July 1st
we went to the Rochester fireworks along with the Bendixens, Wegners, Alessios and Carrigers!
Here we are, :) on our way to pass out tracts and share Christ with people!
It was truly a blessing being able to talk to people about what the loving savior Jesus did for them/us
And just being able to do so in one accord with Friends who love and want to serve God, that is a blessing and encouragement in itself!

Jeremiah 1
4 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying:
5 “ Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
6 Then said I: “ Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”
7 But the LORD said to me: “ Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak.
8 Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the LORD.
9 Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me:
“ Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.”

God bless everyone, love in Christ, Rachel :)

To the Wegners. :)

"It is well with my soul"

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, It is well; it is well, with my soul.
Refrain
It is well, with my soul, it is well, with my soul, it is well, it is well, with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, and hath shed His own blood for my soul.
Refrain
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!My sin, not in part but the whole, is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
Refrain
For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live: If Jordan above me shall roll, No pang shall be mine, for in death as in lifeThou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
Refrain
But, Lord, ‘tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait, the sky, not the grave, is our goal; Oh trump of the angel! Oh voice of the Lord!Blessèd hope, blessèd rest of my soul!
Refrain
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, the clouds be rolled back as a scroll; the trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, Even so, it is well with my soul.

Isaiah 25
1 O LORD, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name; 4 For You have been a defense for the helpless, A defense for the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; 8 He will swallow up death for all time, And the Lord GOD will wipe tears away from all faces, For the LORD has spoken. 9 And it will be said in that day,"Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited that He might save us this is the LORD for whom we have waited; Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation."
Dear Wegners
My heart goes out to you during this time of loss
I can’t even begin to imagine what it must be like to lose a brother/son
The comforting thing is; you only have to say goodbye for a little while
Praise GOD, everyone will see him again someday!!
Til then, Goodbye little Jonathan we all love you!
We all love you Wegners, and will continue to lift you up in prayer during this time of grief and pain.
“May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; may the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.”’

Love Rachel, H

" We believe"

2009-04-11T10:41:00.000-07:00

I really like the words to this song, thought I would share it with all of you.

We believe in the Father, who created all that is
And we believe the universe and all therein is His
As a loving heavenly Father, He yearned to save us all
To lift us from the fall . . . We believe
We believe in Jesus the Father's only Son
Existing uncreated before time had begun
A sacrifice for sin, He died then rose again
To ransom sinful men, We believe
We believe in the spirit who makes believers one
Our hearts are filled with His presence
The Comforter has come
The kingdom unfolds in His plan
Unhindered by quarrels of man
His church upheld by His hand . . . We believe
Though the earth be removed
And time be no more
These truths are secure
God's word shall endure
Whatever may change, these things are sure . . . We believe
So if the mountains are cast down into the plains
When kingdoms all crumble, this one remains
Our faith is not subject to seasons of man
With our fathers we proclaim
We believe our Lord will come as he said
The land and the sea will give up their dead
His children will reign with Him as their head
We believe

41. Back in 2007 I had an awesome experience. Towards the end of summer, my sisters and I were out side in the back yard playing volley ball. Having a good time, but that quickly changed when something flew inside my ear and stung it! I had no clue what it was, a strong pain shot from my ear down to my neck, my hearing dropped right away, it was really scary. I took of running up the hill scared to death. What was going on? My hearing was leaving, my ear was swelling. I cried out to God, "God help me!!" He did comfort me, and show me that I had some unconfessed sin in my life, so I took care of it, hoping that he would heal me now.

Well… I had problems with my ears for months after this.Yes, I was doing things for them, I got them checked out and all. But I had a really bad ear infection, and I was not trusting God at all. I would fear like crazy that I would lose my hearing. To make a long story short.... Here is my highlight! Of 2007. One night I was walking upstairs to my bedroom, when all the sudden my hearing dropped way low. I thought this was it, this was the hour I would go deaf. I cried out to God asking him help me. I was out of control with fear. everybody was sleeping, so I did not cry out in an audible voice.

God told me that I did not trust him and that I was letting this fear control me.

I realized that, for I was not at peace. That night I asked God to forgive me, for not putting my trust in him, and this time it was sincere. Guess what?! God forgave me! And I was delivered from the bondage of fear. I did not fear that I was going deaf. I was at peace, I could think of nothing but of how Wonderful Jesus is. That very night Jesus healed my ears they got very warm and then I started to get my hearing back, it felt great!! I could hear! Praise God! As I was praising the Lord I looked up at the skylight above my bed. Everything was a calm peaceful black sky. Jesus told me “It is finished”

There is more to this story, but it is kind of long and I did not even plan on writing this much.

42. I like hiking.

43. I like canoeing.

44.I like running.

45. I work for my dad.

46. I really like out west.

47. I like to be outdoors.

48. I am running out of things to say!

49. I thank God for his patience with me and for his unyielding, undying love he has for me. Jesus will never leave me nor forsake me. He sticks closer than a brother.

50. The only reason I’m alive today, is because of God’s mercy, He is the giver and the sustainer of life. It is my assigned duty; to live my Life the way Jesus Christ would want me to live. To make a difference, by setting a godly example to others. With God’s help I WILL!!!! We all can, with the help of the Lord!

I've been tagged! By J.J. Biddinger

Movie I’ve watched: Fireproof! It is a very good movie, I enjoyed it.

A moment I will always remember: We went on a three day hiking trip, with the Bendixen bros, on the Manitou Islands, we had a wonderful time.
Camping at the Coopers, was a great! time, I will never forget.
Barak and Amanda’s Wedding, it truly was a blessing.

A new skill I acquired: Well I have been working alot on my Violin, and I am finally seeing some progress! My teacher has noticed me, improving for a while, but now I finally see it. So I guess that is a good thing. (I think)

A lesson I’ve learned: That you can only be inferior with the world, as much as you allow yourself to be. And When I have, God before me who can be against me?

A new place I have visited this year: Well? Hmmm! We have a new! Meijer in town, and I went and visited it!! I don’t know it that counts or not, But that is the only new place I’ve been to, so far.

A Book I've read: Out of the comfort zone.

An inspiring verse or quote: Ye are the salt of the earth, but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men, ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel. But on a candlestick, and it giveth light, unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works. And glorify your Father which is in Heaven. Mathew 5: 13 14 15

Here are the rules: 1. Fill in your memories of 2008.
2. Link my blog to yours.
3. Tag others and comment on their blog so they know they've been tagged.
I will tag. Charity, And Annick

We survived that… Harsh! Mean! Bitter cold day!

Let me tell you people… It was not easy. It took much brains and stamina to overcome that relentless! Cold weather of 5 Degrees (No lie) it also took Friend’s coming together, and working as a team to make every thing…
FUN! FUN! FUN!
We had a BLAST!!!!
I really enjoyed it anyways. ;) Well God Bless All.
Sorry for the people that could not come, they were missed!

Yea! Woo! Hooh!

2009-01-14T12:31:00.000-08:00

Well tomorrow is the big Ski day! Woo! Hooh! I am looking forward to it.
Even though it is only suppose to be 5 Degree’s that day! Brrrr!
So, for the people who are going, don’t forget to bring your coats gloves hats! Or anything else important, for if you do forget! Then you…
Well! I guess that is your decision. ;)
So have fun getting ready.
I'm Looking forward to seeing you Ski buddy’s tomorrow.
Bright and early!
(Or shall I say Dark and early!)
God bless all, even the non skiers!!
Rachel! ;)
