Life....and all the things it brings!

Well, with moving, getting older, and just plain everyday life, it seems I don't have much time to get on here anymore. :) I look back now at the amount of posts I used to have, and goodness gracious, I had lots of time!

So let me see...new things.
  • We are living near Tyler now.
  • Sara is pregnant, and it's a girl! Very excited about that!!!
  • Emily is now taller than I am. :p
  • We are looking for land....seems like it's taking forever, though I know God has the perfect thing out there for us.
  • We joined a church. It is one of the most amazing churches I've ever been in. The people have got to be the most awesome group Christian friends ever! They all feel like family, and I've learned SO very much from them! It's so cool how God brings you to a place where you cannot only worship Him, but grow spiritually, and mentally, with each day you spend with people. I just seriously can't believe how much alike some of the people there and I are. It's so fantastic!
God has pulled me through some of the most inspiring moments this past year. My new friends make me think about things I never thought about before. They believe in my capability to do things, they push me outside of my comfort zones, they push me to grow with every day. I've honestly never had many friends (at ALL) like that. God puts people in our lives we didn't think we need..and I am just so excited to see where else He's going to take me. I'm almost at the point where I'm not afraid of what's going to happen to me in the future, and that's been one of my biggest fears all my life. I'm accepted for who I am, I'm LOVED for who I am, and I'm happy for being ME for the first time ever. I mean, what more could you ask for? Our God truly is an AWESOME God. There's a quote that has become one of my favorite things to repeat in my head... "You don't always get what you want. Sometimes you get something better" and in my case, that's 100% true. I never would have guessed my life at the point where it is now, but it is, and I'm SO happy. :)

Just thought I'd post something, since it really has been forever.

God bless! Remember, God's plan for our life is always better than our plan. :)
