i cannot say i was ready for this, but when worlds collide...
so i'm a mom for the week, which i'm actually kind of excited about. syd got here tonight and she's here till saturday...she's gotten so biggg. she was a doll tonight, and hopefully the rest of the week will go just as smoothly;) plusss it's $300 and then $200 for the twins- so it's a good week!
things have been going so wonderfully lately.my dad's interview went really well so now we're just waiting on an offer to see if he'll take it. it's kind of strange how God has changed my heart- i'm sure im not going to love living there, but i'm okay with it and i'm actually praying it happens because i'm seeing how much it means to my family. i think my mom would like throw a party or something if we moved. and as hard as it would be to say goodbye to my church and a FEW people here, i would come back to see them. i dont really feel as connected to VB as i have in the past. i guess i'm just growing up. and i'm looking at the positives of a move, which are increasing by the day. who knows, maybe it won't work out- but if you could send up prayers that it does, i would very much appreciate it;)
i'm really excited about things right now- God is just blessing me so much. and i don't know, maybe my eyes are just opened to see the blessings now because i'm sure they've been there all along. its so cool because yesterday was an awesomeeee day even though there were things that could have made it not so good, but i was just happy. and all of that happiness is coming from God and being able to see him work in a lot of different situations. the sermon at church this morning was on being joyful. "rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all circumstances"-1 thes. 5:16-18. it's just a really great thought- God has given us plenty of reason to be joyful all the time and yet so many times i am not. there have been times when i have been so bitter that i could not even put a smile on my face, but now i'm really trying to work on the rejoicing always idea. and the past few days i have, which may just be because the past few days a lot of really good stuff has been happening, but i don't know. i'm just praying that i can keep God as my joy, and my strength. because right now it's doing wonders for my spirit. a guarded heart is the best thing for now- so i'm praying for that as well.
goodness, life is amazing. God is amazing. YOU are amazing;)
