long time, no blog.

So much has been happening for the us lately--I don't even know where to begin. God has been moving in me. I am (obviously) not sure what He has in store, but I feel something great coming along. I am softening my heart to those I never thought I could, I am leaning on Him for finances, and I just downright feel something truly awesome coming our way. I have peace, and knowing that peace comes straight from His word is wonderful.

"...we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." Romans 5:3-5

This has been sticking with me lately. For me, I just take it as a reminder that storms are an inevitable part of life, but God makes the outcome of those storms so unreal. B and I have had our fair share of storms in the time that we've been married (who doesn't, right?), and God never fails to bring us out on top. I have nothing but praises for my life and where I am at. 

Speaking of where I am... We are not quite sure where God is calling us at this point. Could you pray for us? Could you pray that we look to God for discernment on what our next step will be and not get wrapped up in worldly matters? 

Thanks, guys!

It is a happy Friday, indeed!

fallen.

Well, it looks like I have fallen out of the blogosphere. No worries, I'm making a comeback. This week has been a mega roller coaster: I have been ecstatic, short-tempered, happy-go-lucky, and impatient literally all at the same time; my heart has been broken; and my life has been changed. In saying all of this, God has proven himself mighty (SO mighty). He has shown me that I have become cold and tend to scoff at "unreasonable" things before any explanation. He has also, thankfully, shown me that with Him I have grace for others. (PRAISE GOD!)

He has been putting me through this storm to make me stronger, a better wife, a better friend, and a better mother (one day... :)) I am here to say that I love the storms God puts in my life, not because I'm some crazy, masochistic lady but because He never ever fails to reveal something to me, which 99.9% of the time altars my life for the better. I am a better follower of Christ because of the tests He put before me. He teaches me when I need to be taught. He gives me tough love when I need it. He loves me gently when I am breaking. He just knows what to do and when to do it. And because of that, my life will never be anything less than miraculous.

Seriously, ya'll. How awesome is God?

Happy Friday, friends!
