Oh goodness...
It has been way too long. I'm quite literally sitting here laughing at myself thinking about how long it has been! And honestly, feel sad that it has been so long. I truly enjoy writing and sharing things with others. So maybe I haven't been the best at actually blogging, but I have been really great about thinking about blogging. Haha!
Well, I am now! That is what matters to me, and I pray that whatever keys these fingers of mine land on is Spirit led and is able to move me and speak to you.
These past several months have just been a complete whirlwind. Not even sure where to start, to be honest with you.
One thing I do know: God is constant.
He is! He is such a good Father, provider, protector. He is the best friend you could have, the most secure confidant, the best listener. He knows us, inside and out. He knows our flaws and strengths.
And all of this has been so evident to me over the past season of life. Life has honestly felt so crazy! We have been in an opportunity to live with and help out my grandmother, Brendan is in his last year of college, I've been able to connect with some people and work on relationships that needed attention and love, and we found out we are expecting a baby in September 2019!
So much happening in what feels like the blink of an eye. It could be so easy for me to be overwhelmed - and trust me, there were a lot of moments in this season where I have felt completely winded, gasping for air, looking for quiet and peace. Of course the season we are in is so blessing filled and full of promise, but as to be expected in our fallen world, it is easy to feel the brokenness and see our shortcomings, worry about the future, and just feel human.
But God knows. He knows our hearts, our worries, our fears, our feeling of utter defeat. And despite seeing our brokenness, He is still wants to meet with us. He pursues us.
HE pursues US.
He desires to meet us in the joy and in the sorrow. He desires relationship, openness, communication. He wants our dreams, our plans. And of anyone in our lives, He is the best one to trust, don't you think?
So as Brendan and I navigate through the remainder of this season there is just still so much ahead. He is entering into finals week, graduates next weekend, and we have his graduation party the following weekend! That is super exciting, and it is something I've been planning for several months. Such an achievement, and I cannot wait to celebrate him and his work!! We find out the gender of our Little the same evening of his graduation party at a small get together with immediate family! So that is just so exciting as well! We are continuing to wait to hear back about job opportunities Brendan has applied for! We have felt such peace knowing God has a plan and will open the door He knows is best, so it is just a trusting and waiting game now. We will be moving to wherever said job becomes available, so housing and such will be a fun thing to get back into looking at! It'll be so nice to have a space of our own again!! :)
So there is just a lot to look forward to! To be excited about, and knowing God has the whole thing held within His hands just brings me so much peace. I can try to plan and control all I want, but ultimately His Will is what will be. And I trust that it is the best plan for us.
Since it has been so long, I truly feel I have so many things I want to catch up on and talk about! So keep your eyes peeled for another post!
