Catch Up

Well, Its happened. I'm gonna be a wife. Matt proposed to me on Saturday. I am so blessed to have him as my fiance. I look forward to all the Lord has in store for us, as we serve Him together. I love him so much and am incredibly happy.

Update

Its been awhile since I have posted. Life has been busy. Its been a crazy week. God is still and always will be good, and I live a good life.

I thought I would give an update on where my life is at, and the happenings of it. I back into the full swing of things with both jobs. Nannying is going great, it seems to be much simpler this year with only one child to take care of, rather than two. It is quite nice and pleasant to work, shop, and just get things done with just one child. Leah and I have a great time together telling stories, reading, shopping, writing to Matt, story times, and watching PBS. I am able to get a lot more done around the house without breaking up fights, or answering a lot more questions. Leah seems to be very good at entertaining herself, and playing with her stuffed animals while I finish dishes and clean. We already have had a play date, been to story time, and shopped quite a bit. She is such a trooper, and big girl. When I started nannying for them Leah was just over a year, and its been so fun to watch her grow, talk, and learn. She will be starting Pre-School 3 days a week starting in October which will be good for her, and I will be able to get things done alone, before I pick her up, and then her brothers later. I look forward to another great year with her as we learn and grow together.

I just "celebrated" one year at the salon. Seems so crazy that it already has been one year since I have been there. I thoroughly still enjoy it, and the perks of working there are amazing!!! I enjoy all my co workers, and business seems to be going really well. I have met some great clients over the last year, its been fun getting to know them. And have also built great friendships with some of the stylists while being there as well. I have had my low points as well, but the good definitely out weigh the bad. We are switching over some of our computer programs so I will be learning some new things, which I am a little nervous about, but I know the Lord is faithful to help me through this too.

Life with Matt is going so good. He is on his way to Wisconsin as I type this. I am so so so excited to spend a few days with him, and go out and enjoy each other again. I have missed him so much, and am so ready to be with him again.

My personal time with the Lord recently has had its dry periods and also its rich periods, I just finished the Elisabeth Elliot book, and now I have just started a book by Randy Alcorn on the works of Charles Spurgeon, called WE SHALL SEE GOD..devotional classics on heaven. I just started it today and am already loving it. I am so excited to be in heaven someday in the Lords perfect, sovereign timing, to be with the ones I love who have gone on before me, who are with the Lord already worshiping Him and are without sin!!! O what a glorious day that will be when I am without sin!!! I am so looking forward to that!! I am ready to worship my Savior, to live in the many mansions He has prepared for me! To dwell with Him FOREVER!!!!! O what joy!! My permanent home. O what a day that will be to be home forever! Until then, I shall keep my eyes focused on Jesus, on the cross, on the race set before me, Looking only unto Jesus Christ my Rock and Salvation....Death....the getaway to never-ending joy!

This is my life, now you are up to date! May you too, focus your eyes on Jesus Christ your Rock. Happy Weekend.

How Great Is Our God

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways," says the Lord. " For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts."

How precious...are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sun of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with You. O Lord, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep. Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works which You have done; and Your thoughts toward us.

Not many mighty, not many noble, are called. Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs to the kingdom? Having nothing, and yet possessing ALL things. The unsearchable riches of Christ.

*What an AWESOME God we have. I am so glad His plans are better than mine. Thank you Lord, for your sovereignty over all things*
