More Learning

Ok, I need to try harder, it's been a month since my last post. New pictures of us with our baby tyson in an amusing attempt to get a picture for Christmas cards. Day to day life has been going well and God is teaching me patience, which I feel has been my characteristic to learn my entire life. I've never really been good at it. The house buying process is going slow but I am at peace about it and continue to just pray really hard. JJ and I both work about 45 minutes away from where we currently live and see getting this house as a huge blessing because it is in the town where we both work...... and speaking of work it's been interesting lately, I might not have a job in a few weeks and that is a possible lesson from God I am trying hard to swallow and keep my eyes open to.... God is ever and always faithful and the best thing I can share today is that no matter how scared or upset I am at this moment in time and this sudden uncertainty I still have the peace of Jesus that he will always have a grand design for our lives and he has blessed us so much already.

Jeremiah 29:11

Do I believe it...

So on my blog I have my life verse, Jeremiah 29:11 a verse where as I read it, God promises to take care of me according to his perfect will and plan for my life. I think so strongly of this verse it's even tattooed on my foot, a place where I see it each and every day..... but some days I wonder why is it so hard for me to take it to heart and live it out? Why do I struggle with such worry and doubt....., why can't I believe what God promises me in this special verse of mine. Today we had a small setback in our journey to buy our first home and it frustrated me, it upset me and it made me angry with myself for being upset and frustrated. I have never been able to be one of those people who can just smile through and say "God knows", " God's will is being done".... I know it in my heart of hearts, but this human doubt and fear is a constant companion and I wish it wasn't.... At what point in our Christian walk do we begin to act on what we say we believe and really give it all over and trust our ALL with Jesus

Catch Up

Two Shots from our wedding and one from our honeymoon since all this fun stuff has already happened before I began this blog.
My husband and I in Orlando Florida on Our Honeymoon, me with a parrot on my shoulder, was freaking me out the ENTIRE time!! We had so much fun and a very relaxing week. Our bridal party of my gorgeous sister next to me and cousin Cait next to JJ as well as JJ's brother Ron and cousin Dan. and a shot from inside the church we were married in of JJ and I.

Hello!!

I've tried this once before and never really kept up with it, which is a shame because once I got it going and stopped doing it lots of things started to happen that I had really given up on ever happening, things that made me marvel and dance with excitement at the timing of God and the plan he has for our lives.
At 24 years old after trying and canceling two subscriptions to internet dating services I had myself convinced I needed a change of scenery.... so I was going to move down to Georgia to be closer to a cousin whom I consider an older sister ( I love you Ang!) and "start" my adult life on my terms and make something happen..... insert the loud booming voice of the Lord laughing at me. After my first trip down to Georgia got me no where I came home and found an email in my inbox on the most recent canceled dating site, I decided what the heck, the rest of them bombed so this one can't be much worse. I answered an email back to "JJ" and began a back and forth email conversation that I was still convinced would bring about nothing..... well long story short it is one year and 3 months later and "JJ" and I have been married for 5 months and are in the process of buying our first home. God works in mysterious, amusing and baffling ways. This blog is devoted to my day to day experiences of those mysterious, amusing and baffling ways.

Jesus Loves You!
