Birthdays are humbling. Family and friends sending cards, gifts, receiving phone calls, and surprise cookie cakes truly touched my heart. My parents got me a web cam and it was a blast talking and SEEING my family for a couple hours. Chail is finally calling me “Ta Ta” or “Tee Tee” (Auntie)! He had called me that last time I saw him, but I wasn’t sure if it was a fluke. Then, on my birthday while we were Skyping Luke…
Many of you know my dear friend, Misty. I was honored to have her as one of my bridesmaids in our wedding! God is doing miraculous things in the life of Mist, and her husband, Chad. I added their blog address on my sidebar, but thought I’d post for them as a special welcome to the blog world! Check out their story and praise God with us! http://www.ourjourneytomercy.blogspot.com/
Yes, I’m aware that most of my posts lately have just gushed newly wed giddy happiness. When I was single it was easy to post about life situations that upset me. It was easy to post about something that depressed me, annoyed me, or made me angry. It was common for me to share what was going on with my relationship with God, even sharing personal details. Being married is a different story. I can not air my dirty laundry…
There are just those major high’s in life when God blows me out of the water, over and over. Last night was one of those nights. It was the GREENEST night ever. We praise GOD for how HE is providing for and taking care of us. Chuck was going to be home a little later from work, so I was able to catch up with 2 friends on the phone, only to be utterly amazed and shocked with what God…
1. It’s been one year since my Dad’s 3rd open heart surgery! God has made his heart healthy! 2. God gave me a job for a day so now I am able to buy Chuck his own Christmas presents, not using his money! 3. Chail. He brings me such joy! I love him like I’ve never loved any baby in my whole life! 4. God has given us an awesome Shepherd Group to be apart of. 5. God has given…
Thank you God! My Dad received a clean bill of health from his heart surgeon today! We are all incredibly relieved! What an awesome early Christmas present! Thank you to everyone who was praying. Thank you so much.
Exactly one year ago today, my Dad underwent his 3rd open-heart surgery at The University of Penn hospital. At this time last year, my family was waiting as my Dad’s heart lie on an operating table…again. That was certainly no game of “Operation.” In this operation, there is no buzzer that sounds when you hit the wall. It is a reality that we lived through and will forever praise God for. It’s a terrifying memory, but sweet at the same…
I’m not a morning girl by any stretch of the imagination. This is in complete contrast to my husband who actually enjoys setting his alarm for 7:30am on the weekends. On Sunday I told him to wake me up at 9am so I’d have time to get ready for church. Promptly at 9, Chuck came in and began the routine of getting me up. I typically just lie there, unmoving for several minutes. Sometimes I make a noise or two…
Chuck and I met exactly one year ago TODAY! Since I already wrote about that night 2 posts ago, I’ll just say: PRAISE GOD FROM WHO ALL BLESSINGS FLOW! If you asked me one year ago today if I’d be married, I’d say “YAY RIGHT.” Now here I am, 4 1/2 months into marriage with the man that has already surpassed all my wildest dreams! God. Is. MIND-BOGGLING. Thank you God!!! I love you, Babe. Happy One-Year-Since-We-Met-Anniversary! (and thank you,…
