We are pretty much all settled in. We love the town, our home, and the kids love their school.
We started going to a church that we are really enjoying. There is so many things that we can become involved with and we are so excited to see what God has in store for us. We are already seeing Him move with opportunities that are starting to come open, that we didn't think would be possible especially so soon! So much is falling into place for us already. I have felt for a long time that God has so much planned for my little family and I finally feel like we are on the right track.
It is so amazing what happens when you begin to pray for God's will in every aspect of your life. I mean, when you pray it and REALLY want it, and allow Him to move. It's like a complete change in thought process. It's incredible to see the changes and growth that is happening in this family. I am so thankful and happy! And to know that this is just the beginning is so unbelievably exciting!
"When you fully comprehend that there is more to life than just here and now, and you realize that life is just preparation for eternity, you will begin to live differently. You will start living in the light of eternity, and that will color how you handle every relationship, task, and circumstance. Suddenly, many activities, goals, and even problems that seemed so important will appear trivial, petty, and unworthy of your attention. The closer you live to God, the smaller everything else appears." - Rick Warren
That is exactly how I feel. I have just come to a point in my life where I don't want anything that isn't what God has laid out for me. I find myself CONSTANTLY asking for God's will to be done. I only want what He wants for me and my family...everything else is pointless. You know it's one thing to say that you want His will, but when you really truly mean it and give everything over to Him...everything changes.
Jeremiah 29:13 has a whole new meaning to me now...
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
I've known that Bible verse ever since I was a little girl, but only now am I really beginning to understand what it really means.
I am just very thankful and excited right now for everything that God is doing.
I ask that you please continue to keep us in your prayers. This is only the beginning of this chapter in our lives. Please pray that we continue to stay in God's perfect will.
I am at a point right now where my goal is that in the very near future God will begin to use me in a special way to minister to others. I am praying and seeking revelation in what He has planned for me personally. Please pray that God's purpose will be revealed to me and that I will know exactly the best way to begin to serve Him better.
With all that being said, I've added a few new family photos that we recently shot...enjoy!
