Just another manic Monday!

Or not. Pretty uneventful over here, besides the baby grunting at me and the boys being restless. We're gonna hop over to the park soon, so I can't be too long here.

I wanted to share another exciting thing going on in our lives-Jon has started an internship as a Youth Pastor! We are SO excited about it :) It is our heart's desire to be in youth ministry, and to get an opportunity like this is just INCREDIBLE! When I came to know the Lord, In no time I discovered my calling working with youth-and funny enough, the same thing happened with Jon! Shortly after he gave His life back over to the Lord, HE realized HIS calling to youth ministry, and plans on being in YM as long as the Lord continues flaming the passion in his heart for them!

We left our home church because we really felt the Lord calling us away from the church. I really didn't want to(I was having some heart issues and let's just say the Lord was NOT my top priority at that time), so I was hesistant and even ANGRY about leaving. However, my Husband knew what God was asking of him, stood firm and continued being led by the Lord alone-and shortly after(we were looking for a new home church visiting a few different local churches), the opportunity opened up out of nowhere!

I felt really bad for not trusting my Husband while he was trusting the Lord, and realized that God was surely trying to get my attention in many ways: getting my attention back on Him, and learning to follow my husband as he follows Christ. Doh! How embarrassing!

It makes me realize what a blessing my Husband is-even when we came together in sin and lived for years in sin, God still had a wonderful, delightful plan for us that we never could have imagined!

Romans 8:28-30

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.

I stand in awe of our awesome God who can transform lives and make all things new! PRAISE HIM!
