Amazing Grace

Well, let's see, last time I posted we were headed home. We finally made it on Saturday night 12:30am. Oh yes we did! A final tally left us 11 (eleven) incidents in 3 long days. We were so thrilled to be home and my hubby is feeling like a ton of weight has been lifted off his shoulders.

We had an awesome church service on Sunday morning then Satan attacked at lunch. To the point of break down for Nick. I have never seen him like that before and it really scared me.

It has been a week full of mixed emotions. (literally) Ups and downs, inside out and right side up. Yet, in the midst of it I am at peace and trusting God to be faithful. He knows we still exsist and is watching out for us. I don't know what God's plans are next for us, but I know that I am completely content and also love my life as it is. That is to say, that is usually when God uproots us and sends us into new territory, at least that is how the past has played out. I hope not. I hope it's a new direction that keeps us here. In this place. Yet, I know that I will only be complete when I am in His will for my life. So, we wait and see.

I am loving summer and we have a spanish student from Girona, Spain staying with us for 6 weeks. He is 15 and so much fun. His english is very good and he has loved going trucking with Nick two different times. (once to missouri, and another to Ohio) I enjoy having a teenager around but boy can he eat. I'm not used to that! I'm trying to keep us with the stock of food, I don't want to send him back all skin and bones now. He already has said it will be hard to leave. But I definetely can see us taking a trip to visit him someday, I hope.

Busy, Busy, that is what we are but I love it.

New Beginnings

Ok, so it's been a while.. I've been stuck in a slump trying to decide what it is that I want to blog about and why?

It's hard for me to really put my heart and soul out there for others to read. And yet, I know that this is only the begining if I will just allow God to use it. I told my Hubby the other day that I don't even share real intimately with him let alone the whole world. (or those who might trip upon my site) My own insecurity I need to overcome.

So just as it says on the top of my site, It's not what the world holds for you it's what you bring to it.
God has been showing me that I need to "get up and go". No more waiting for something spectacular to happen but to make something spectacular happen.

I'm ready to start reaching out and find what there is to grasp on to. Life is to short and I don't want to miss any more of it.

I've gotten extremely busy lately with church easter/drama/musical practices along with keeping the home front in some sort of order. We have all major repairs finished on the new years disaster, now just the lingering minor repairs in order to put the house on the market.
Busy people get things done! I hope this is true. 'Cause I'm feeling mighty busy lately.

I discovered a new site www.momsofgrace.net . I am so excited to meet new people and discover more of this blogging world of friends!

So look for me more often here and come on over to moms of grace and check it out.
