Just an Update

I just want to say how good God is. Josh and I have been living in our house for a little over a week now. We had some wonderful friends and family help us paint and get all moved in. We have a longer commute, but that just gives me time to listen to Pastor Brad's messages that I've missed. Our church is further away now, but after this Sunday I know that it is totally worth the drive. The worship is amazing and I've missed it these past few weeks. I mostly enjoy my job, but I can't wait to be a stay-at-home-mom and I know God will provide so that can happen. Just when the bills started rolling in, we were truly truly blessed by my amazing parents. We have so many wonderful people in our lives and they are all such a blessing to us. I know God has blessed us with the wonderful people in our lives and had He not blessed them, they would not be able to bless us. A new house is such an exciting and daunting thing. I have to keep telling myself to "be anxious for nothing". I literally say it out loud sometimes. I even ask God, "how am I not supposed to be anxious or worried about owning a house"? It's a struggle, everyday!

I've always said that God is good, but now I'm truly experiencing his goodness and blessing. Not that I wasn't before, I just think now I can appreciate it so much more. I find that I am so much more appreciate of my family now that I'm older. I wish we lived closer to my family in Texas, but then we'd live far away from our family here. My grandpa has this scripture memorization program that I think all of the grandchildren have started. I've never finished it, but after visiting them a few weeks ago I've started up again. I've got the first three down and I'm working on the next three. I want the Word of God to be in my heart more now than it has been.

I'm focusing on my prayer life more now. I started reading a book on prayer by Joyce Meyer and so far it is great! I'm praying that the Lord would teach me how to pray they way He wants me to. I want a heart like His and I want to ask and believe for GREAT things!!

We're still working on the baby thing. I figure it will happen in God's timing. He has placed the desire for children in my heart and I know he wouldn't give me that desire unless he was going to provide the way also.

I'm having kind of a rough day at work, so I thought I should take a minute and think/write about how good God is to pep me up. I prayed this morning that He would help me to be different from everyone else at work and He has already started on that:) I guess how I handle stress is the best example of Christ in me, huh?
