A Year of Marriage

A year already?
That is insane.
Let me tell you a little bit about our first year.

It has been pretty much a fairy tale in all honestly. We agree upon most things, laugh a lot and pick on each other a lot. Living with your best friend is absolutely the best thing ever! The Lord has had a lot of grace on us and has truly made our first year of marriage sweet and easy.

Our hardships this year had nothing to do with us as a couple. The two hardest storms we have had to weather have been the disease in my body and our awful neighbors. Cameron has been so wonderful through this disease and has supported me, cried with me and rubbed my leg until I fall asleep. He is seriously the most servant hearted man I have ever met. We continue to pray for healing for me and health for our future children. Even more than that, we are praying that whatever comes, we glorify the name of our Father. We know that this disease is not FROM our Father but can be used FOR His glory. After almost a year of dealing with neighbors who have literally given me an anxiety attack I am happy to say that as of a month ago THEY ARE GONE! We are now praying that the next people who move in are kind and quiet. That they are people who we can share the love of Jesus with better than we could with the last.

Cameron and I joined Southern Hills Baptist together. We help with the youth on Friday nights and Cameron is in a mens small group on Wednesdays. As I am typing this, I am actually fighting fear as I am about to go to an apartment complex next to our church to talk to the manager about starting a Bible study there with our church. I am apart of a women's Bible study with some precious women and we meet every other Wednesday. Upon moving here I knew I needed to keep up with being mentored. I asked a precious person in my life Alicia Crawley to be that in my life and it has been nothing but beautiful. I am now praying that the Lord leads me to someone I can pour into and speak (what little) wisdom I have into. We love our church and all the areas it gives us to grow in!


We are still obsessed with each other and madly in love and pray we always will be. My personal prayer is that I yield to the Spirit so I may love him better every day.

If you'd like you can join us in prayer in these areas as we begin our SECOND (still cannot believe it) year of marriage. We are thankful for all the love and support and prayers we have already received on this journey!

NOW THOSE ALTARS IN THE WILDERNESS TELL THE STORY OF HIS FAITHFULNESS

There have been seasons in my life that lasted way longer than I would have liked them too. After a long while I began to realize wishing those seasons away and turning to so many things but Jesus to make those seasons end was not working, but instead was making me bitter. My prayer in those seasons went from, "take this cup from me" to, "as long as it takes to get to a place of surrender I'm gonna stay right here." My hard times brought me to a place of fully surrendering fear and fully trusting Jesus, something I struggled severely with. Our sweet son was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis last week. I think if this had happened before those other hard seasons I would be totally crippled by fear right now. But I can honestly say that I'm not fearful of what this diagnosis might bring, sad yes, but not afraid.  I used to always expect the worst. Expect whatever came next to be something that once again would bring bad news. This time, although it...

Ministry Isn't Easy

Exodus 4:10 But Moses pleaded with the LORD, “O Lord, I’m not very good with words. I never have been, and I’m not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue-tied, and my words get tangled.” Sometimes we don't feel good enough to do what God has called us to do. And sometimes we use that as an excuse to get out of it because we give into fear. At least that's how it's been for me.  Initially when the Lord called me to start London Square Children’s Ministry my argument was, I'm not good at leading and organizing.  I can jump in and help someone else who is leading and organizing but I can't start up a Ministry and lead it. I'm not good at that. And although that is true, it's not my strong suit, He equipped me to do it. And much fruit came from it.  Then covid hit and I got pregnant.  A long season away from the Ministry for the safety of myself and my baby. But I think that safety from a virus turned into safety of my time and energy.  Honestly se...

God's Providence

1Thes 2:8 We loved you so much we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our own lives as well, because you had become so dear to us. I believe the Lord has done remarkable things in my life in order that I may share it with others for His glory...so here we go. The Lord's providence has been all over my whole life. And I mean my WHOLE life...but I'll start at age 8. When I was 8, my aunt and uncle so lovingly blessed me by sending me to Kanakuk a Christian athletic camp. That was the summer I first heard the Gospel. This was the same summer my two year old brother passed away. Divine providence one, I heard the Gospel, the promise that this life is not the end just a week or so before my precious brother went to be with the Lord. Thank the  Lord I had those promises to hold tight to in that dark time. The summer between 6th and 7th grade, my aunt and uncle again, obedient to the Lord's calling to love and pursue me offered to send me to a pri...
