September 8th, 2011. "Wow"

I have definitely neglected my dear blog in this past year. I must say a lot has happened! One of my goals through the rest of this year and certainly next, is to post my blog weekly. Well lets get to the news shall we?

So....

God has truly blessed Jason and I not only through our marriage but also through the progression of life. We recently bought our first house!!! After months of looking and praying, the Lord lead us to a home we love dearly. The house just spoke to us, ya know? We saw ourselves there and knew we could start a wonderful journey here. We are almost a month in and loving it more everyday.

Secondly, I just started a new job. Again, a blessing because I had been praying that God would lead and use me as He saw fit. Lead me to a place that He could use me and a place were I could give what He gives me daily. I really don't post names or personal info but lets just say it is in an amazing Christian/Christ-filled environment.

With all of that said I am still in school finishing up my Psychology-Specialty in Christian Counseling degree. I love that so much and I pray God continues to use me in this field.

With saying all of this I must say it isn't the good things in life that should make us value what God is in our life. I can honestly say it has been through my hardships that I grow to trust Him more. I could lie and say that I am this amazing person and my faith is "on-point' everyday but I won't. Being a Christian is more than just doing what God would have us do. Its growing your spiritual faith daily. Its not easy but we must strive for that every minute!

Sadly this weekend we must look back at the tragic event that was 9/11. It pains me every time I think of it. I remember where I was, what I was doing, and the people I spoke with when we watched the news that morning. We were all struck stiff glued to the tv crying, praying, and asking so many questions. It is important that we pray for those that lost loved ones and that we pray for our country. Please give thanks to all the service men and women, they are heroes. I can't even continue thinking I could give any amount of justice to this topic but none-the-less I felt I needed to speak of it in this blog.

I will end on this note. Love each other and continue to give each other grace, as the Lord gives us each day.

Blessings,

MR
