In the beginning...
Standing at the counter while pouring soda, I casually drop the bomb on DL. Babe, I started us a blog today. Then I wait, oh about 2 seconds. Why? On what site? What purpose does it have? Yep, I expected all of those questions. My lovely man does not care for social networking sites so anything that resembles that is automatically questioned by him.
Really I cannot totally answer his questions. I simply do not know why or what purpose this will have. I do know that I have been feeling a tug to do this for a while so here it is.
God is my anchor. I cannot exist without his presence in my life. It just isn't possible. The past few years have been a crazy roller coaster for me and DL but with a little faith and a lot of prayers we have survived. I took a huge leap of faith and moved cross country to be with DL. In doing so I left behind everything I knew. The only constant for me to rely on was my Jesus. I do believe this was God's intention the whole time. He truly became my comforter and my best friend during this time.
I am on a journey now that I never imagined. I am constantly in awe of how blessed I truly am. My husband is the perfect man for me, my soulmate. It took a lot of tears and heartache for us to meet but God knew what he was doing all the time.
I have been blessed beyond measure with two amazing daughters. My Ally is 3 and is such an entertainer! She is not my biological daughter, but she is a daughter of my heart. I learned true contentment when God allowed that child to walk into my life. Soren Kate is 6 months old and is the newest addition to the family. I was so elated the day I found out she was a girl! I always always always wanted to have daughters so they could experience what it was like to have sisters. Ally can make Soren Kate laugh more than anyone else. You can see the adoration spilling from Soren Kate when she looks at her.
DL & I both work outside of the home so it makes for a hectic life but it keeps it exciting! My home and ALL of my family is in Louisiana so I find myself missing them quite frequently. I know that God has us here for a purpose and a plan. That is what keeps the homesickness at bay on the bad days.
DL is also a licensed minister with the UPCI. We are Pentecostal and proud of it. I was blessed to be raised in the church and am so proud of my heritage. I will post more about this another day though! My husband did not come into the church until later in life, but it is his passion and his calling. His greatest desire is to see souls saved and that is why we live the way we do. To reach others, we have to let our light shine.
This past year we had some blows hit us and I was really battling spriritually with the whys and so forth. One night, DL & I were sitting in the bed reading our bibles, when God directed me to Exodus 14:14. It simply says: The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace This one scripture has helped me to overcome so many battles in my life this past year. My God fights for me. For little ole me. I only have to continue in this journey with him. What more could a girl ask for?
