It's been awhile since I have posted anything here. My husband and I are finally back together after 14 months of being seperated. God's timing is not always our timing, but God's timing is always perfect.
It's taken a couple of months to adjust to being a couple again, it's been rough at times. With the Lord's help we are working to rebuild the marriage God intended us to have in the beginning.
So much has gone on. With my mom passing on in December, my husband and I reuniting, Sarah & Matt's house finally selling last week and looking for a new home.
John started a new job two months ago, the Lord has truly blessed him with a wonderful opportunity with our "new beginning".
We've been attending church regularly, taken some study classes through the church, and joined a small group. The key to moving forward is to keep surrounded with those who hold a faith and belief in the Lord.
There are times when I still miss my mom, and that will be something I will deal with until we meet again in heaven. There are times when I can almost hear her voice, see her smile and feel her love. I still have conversations with her and although I can not hear her reply, I know she is in heaven listening and talking to Jesus about what is going on with her loved ones still here on earth. It is a comforting feeling knowing she is not gone, just away. Someday we will all be together again for eternity, never again to experience the pain of loss.
With the recenty tragedy at Virgina Tech I am reminded just how precisous and fleeting life truly is. We are not guarenteed tomorrow, in fact we are not even guarenteed the next moment. All life is a gift from the Lord, it is by his grace we take each breath. It is so important to tell those you love how much they mean to you. Never take for granted you will have another chance to say I love you, because we don't know what life has in store.
What we are assured of is God loves us, Jesus gave his life to pay for our sins and because of that we can know without a doubt something better is yet to come. This life is temporary, along with the pain and heartache that sometimes goes a long with it. In Revelations is says, "God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
We live in a fallen world where things happen that make no sense, yet we can be comforted in knowing God can and does take every bad thing and turn it into something good. It may not seem like it during horrible things like these shootings, but God is still in control and Jesus is on the throne, and someday soon he will return to put and end to the evil in the world. Until then I choose to trust Him, to continue to pray for those who are hurting and lost and never let those things going on around me cause me to doubt my Lord.
God is so awesome. These pictures are of our new home. Sarah and Matt's house finally sold so we were looking for a place. Everything was lost when John and I were separated so we have no furniture or household things.
