Obviously, I haven't done this in a while. I guess a year and 1/2 counts a a while. Goodness, what a change has taken place in that time.
Quick update:
I bought a house. A cute little 2 bedroom with a fun porch on the back. I love it. It's small, but it serves all of my needs. It is a huge blessing to me. I changed jobs. Most importantly, I got married. I have a wonderful husband named Brad. He is sweet, smart, and funny. I fell in love with him because he wanted nothing more than to seek after our heavenly father. I can't wait to see where life takes us. I love him.
I went to a funeral yesterday. Stephanie Phillips, a local high school girls basketball coach, died after battling sage 4 colon cancer for 3 years (read the blog for inspiration stephsgonnawin.blogspot.com) . I didn't really know her well. I had met her on several occasions, but I would not have considered her a friend, but rather an aquaintance. He story just touched my heart. She was a fighter, but her fight seemed to point people to her Lord. She said that she felt peace and the presence of God even as she struggled in pain her last week of life. She never cursed God, even though she knew he was taking her from her precious little boys. She praised him. WHAT FAITH! I am convinced that faith is trusting in God's plan, no matter the outcome. She demonstrated that. I am blessed to have experienced even a small portion of her story and I know that God is smiling as she is welcomed into his presence. I pray those touched by her faith will continue to seek our her Father!
I want to follow God with out any reservations. I want to be all in. I pray that God puts me all in. I am scared of what that means, but I want it. I want my God and my family to come first. I don't know what the future holds, but I know my future is in the hands of the Almighty. I pray that I can become more like Him, more like Jesus, (Phil 2:1-11).
I pray this blog reflects following and growing in God. I pray it shows growth and maturity in all areas. I am blessed beyond measure!
