Hope & Love

Recently, I have engrossed myself in His word, and I find myself not wanting put my bible down because I am so absorbed in the words! This is such a new found freedom, though I love God and attend church, I haven't taken the time for his WORD. It is so true if you make God FIRST in your life, everything seems to fall in place. Even my sorrow in not having a baby. I am okay, I will survive because God is my strength and my hope! Praise Him in the day and the night! Today, my room was a disaster zone, and He gave me the strength to complete the floor & VACUUM! Tomorrow, surfaces! I know this doesn't seem to huge to anyone outside of me, but before I would have wallowed in beating myself down for not keeping a simple room clean, and not having it looking nice for my hubby not to mention myself. (to be clear Josh is nothing but a support to me and my short comings.) Today, I am so very thankful my husband. In spite of ALL my many short comings he never fails to show his love for me, he makes mistakes of course- we both do, we are only human. I know God gives him the strength to deal with me (and I him, heehee) and work, etc. I am so so very thankful for him having such an open heart to God and what His will is!

What has me thinking so much about this is....A friend(to remain unnamed for privacy) whom has several children, and is expecting- her husband has turned from Christ and so in turn has told his wife he no longer wants part in the marriage, that he is not in love with her, etc. If you are reading this dear sister, my heart aches for you!! I am praying hard for you and your family, as I ask those that read this to reach out in prayer to her!

Hello, 2013!

I was just inspired by a friend who wrote a post about her New Year's Resolutions, up till now I have been pretty shut mouthed about what I want to do with my year. My Mom has also asked me, so now I think that is also a sign I needed to write today. Maybe not, but I have missed writing so much- so I will enjoy doing so.

 (...I know "blah blah, get ON with it!")

I think last year, for the most part I cannot remember what I resolved to do. I believe one was lose weight, which I did. But I think I gained it back since Thanksgiving..*sigh*. Read my bible, for sure failed fell short of that. I don't remember what else! I blame it on I have slept since then...heehee

 No excuses, this year I resolve:

 ~~~Take a picture everyday! - as a photographer, I for one easily get bogged down in the business of it all. The running of my business on etsy, editing photos, networking, networking...more networking. So I plan to KEEP BEING INSPIRED!

 ~~~Read the bible, and pray with my husband- even if just a prayer at night. - As of late, I have really had my eyes opened to the fact if we are not keeping close with God we are really allowing Satan a free pass to tear us down. (ps Josh and I are doing GREAT! I just don't want to allow Satan ANY foothold!)

 ~~~Read 30 Books - a great resolution I stole from my friend that she had for this year! I love it and I have read a total of 3 books since being married. I really miss doing this! ~~~Spend less time on the computer, and more time enjoying life!

~~~Run a 5k. again..my last one a few years ago was a disaster.

 ~~~Take up crocheting again...;) I have already started!

 ~~~GET A CUTE HAIRCUT!...maybe, I am always fighting myself on this one!

 ~~~Continue to allow God to work on my sorrow.

 ----

 There it is, I cannot think of what else to add so that will be it. My goals, as more come to me during the year. I feel I should explain the last one here...this last two year was hard- God has asked quite a lot of me. The emotional toll has been so hard, for both Josh and I. Even though I truly believe (as I keep saying) I trust God is in control of ALL things- however when it comes to my womb I somehow feel responsible for it. It is my body that month after month isn't pregnant and now that it is really 2013, it has hit me like a ton of bricks that we still don't have a baby. It is okay though, God has really helped me lift my head and slowly and quite stubbornly I might add- I am releasing it to Him. Because he knows my desires and prayers, and He knows I will never stop praying for that child of mine.
