God Works All Things Together For Good


Isn't it amazing having a prayer answered? Isn't it even better being apart of that answered prayer? Today I had the opportunity to see one of my prayers being in the process of being answered. Although I know God is going to do so much more, it's just exciting to see the start.
Tonight I got invited to a church service and I was really excited to go. I decided to invite a new friend of mine who I knew was very excited in her newly found walk with God. She was excited to go and so she took up on the offer. They had a praise and worship then a message. 
The message focused on our life and how God has such great plans for our life, even though we might not understand why we are in the situation we are in now. Even though things might seem tough for us right now, God is in the process of making something great happen.
'We know that God works all things together for good for the ones who love God, for those who are called according to His purpose.' Romans 8:28
That verse is very true, God will work all things out if we just trust that He will do so. The speaker was a phenomenal preacher who had such a great story to tell. He was very interesting to listen to. 
I am definitely looking forward to continuing to go to these services, hopefully every week. 

It's just a huge deal to me that I got to experience this with some one I never thought who be interested in it. Not the individual but the person. If that makes sense. I never thought my ex would be with a person who would be able to influence him in such a huge way. I am thankful that God laid on my heart to let this girl in and in a way be able to influence her to get to know God. 
I am witnessing God answering my prayer of working through myself so that these two will open their hearts to God and let Him in their life. I am so happy to see this and to be a part of it. It's truly awesome and fills my heart with happiness. I had a great time tonight and I look forward to many more nights like this (minus my truck not starting and it being freezing cold outside, waiting around for an hour) BUT! It was a great time. So excited for what the future holds.

Day One of Homeschooling

Image
  We did it!  Our first day of homeschool is complete. I woke up early and made the kiddos French toast and cut up some fruit. Excuse me, Luke cut you some fruit as you can see in our new vlog post! Luke woke up at 6 and I tried to get him back to sleep but that was clearly a fail as he left the room ten minutes after I did. We ate breakfast and Jack was still asleep. I thought for sure he would sleep late and we could start school without him.  😂 He woke up shortly after and then we were all on the same page by then. We took our pictures outside (Jack was not having it). And then our day began!  The kids were so excited to see their little gifts and the homeschool area all set up. We started our morning with a read aloud. We read Ten Apples up on Top since our topic is apples this quarter. The kids all got a composition book that we will use for the morning read alouds. They can draw or write whatever comes to mind as I read to them. It was cute to see what they al...

Where Have I Allowed Myself To Go?

Wow!  I haven't written forever and I pray I can get back to writing more because what that did for me was incredible. That was my quiet time where I could draw away from all the worries in life and just focus on God and what He has done for me.  This past year or so has been such a struggle for me. Marriage is HARD! I always knew it would be hard but not this hard! It got even harder when I drew away from God. I thought I could do this on my own when obviously this is a precious gift from God and why would I ever think I could do this on my own. I've struggled so much with balancing everything in my life. I've also struggled throughout this pregnancy. I have never been so emotional in my life. I feel like I lost all control over everything that was in order in my life. And I know the exact reason why. It has nothing to do with pregnancy or hormones. It has to do with my faith. I never denied to anyone or myself that I'm not struggling with my faith. I know for a...

Who Are We?

I listened to a sermon on the 4th and I have been trying to put all my thoughts together to write a post about it because it was so meaningful for me. It helped me realize a lot about myself and my faith. I am still trying to get all my ducks in a row for that post but I just wanted to give a little bit of encouragement. It seems like most sermons preached lately are about this craziness but out of that craziness there is a lot to learn! In Exodus 13-16 we read about how Pharaoh finally let the Israelites out of Egypt. All the Isrealites wanted was to be let go and what was one of the first things they did when they got out of Egypt? They complained. They started complaining about how they 'missed' things from Egypt.  Exodus 16:3 says   The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the  Lord ’s hand in Egypt!  There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food  we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assem...
