Everyday Blessed

This summer, we have experienced the top of the mountains and the lowest part of the valley. It has been an emotional trip, but God has gotten us through. It is amazing how God gives us exactly what we need at exactly the right time. Starting at the beginning, before we even got married, both Brandon and I had some concerns about infertility, each for our own reasons. We knew that we just needed to trust God on this journey. We have been praying and praying, that God would bless us with a child in His perfect timing. My hope, my plan, was that we would conceive in June, giving me three months of maternity leave and then three months of summer to spend with our precious little one before having to figure out child care. I have heard so many mommas talk about how hard it is to go back to work. I had everything planned and I knew it would work out perfect. God heard and answered our prayers. 1 John 5:14  And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we a

It's funny, I have not been on here in a year. I have thinking about things to write, but just have never taken the time to sit down and write. But today, I need to. So I logged in, and there was an unpublished post, from just about a year ago. I looked at the picture that I had put with it and read the first few lines.

And of course, having been here so many times before, I do know that where ever I end up next year, will absolutely be for the best. God has a great plan and He will put me where I need to be.

These last couple of months have been really tough.  I was anxious about Brandon leaving for his mission trip to Kenya. We had a couple of different boys that we were hosting through safe families. For some reason, I feel like I was behind all quarter, and not serving my students to the best of my ability. I was also anxious about my job for next year (I have no idea where I will be). I had a really tough week teaching intercession (half days of school during our breaks). Then Brandon came home and he threw out his back walking around in our apartment and to put a cherry on top, his truck decided it had had enough and we were already pouring money into chiropractic care because both Brandon and I have messed up backs.  It really wasn't that bad. There really is not any one thing that I could pin point that made it seem bad. But, I feel so much more at peace right now.  Brandon's back is finally getting better. We found a new vehicle that we could get a loan for and tha
