2 Sweet, Beautiful Years!

It's crazy to think just two years ago (May 30th, 2009) I married the most caring, loving, good looking, HOT, funny, and an amazing man of God! As I woke up this morning I began to think of how the past two years of marriage has shaped us both, and it's amazing to me how much we have both grown together and to God in such, what seems like, a short period of time. We are so blessed with this life journey we are on together and it warms my heart that he is forever mine during this walk.

As I look around the house it is bitter sweet to know this house that is filled with so many memories will no longer be our home soon. In about 11 days we will be packing up and moving to a new state, new town, new church, new friends, new family, and a new house. Looking back when Adam and I were dating we would talk about living in Saint Louis and raising a family here and going to our parent's house for sunday dinners, but God has shaped our hearts and has lead us to different places and desires for our family, which is ok. I am very excited for this next chapter in our lives and knowing no matter where God leads us, our house and our family will always be built on God's love! In HIM we trust!

The past TWO years we have made such a beautiful family that I cherish so deeply. Adam and I have our sweet Baby Trotter who is with our heavenly father, we have sweet Baby Girl, Tenley, who is due the beginning of October and of course we have our spoiled and cute King Charles Spaniel, Prince.
Marriage is such a BEAUTIFUL thing and I know we will continue to be on this journey for GOD together and I pray I will always be a Godly women for Adam and continue to encourage him and love him for many, many years to come! THANK YOU sweet husband for 2 Sweet, Beautiful YEARS! You are the LOVE of my Life!

"Forever can never be long enough for me

To feel like I've had long enough with you

Forget the world now, we won't let them see

But there is one thing left to do

Marry me TODAY and EVERYDAY"

"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. This is a profound mystery-but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband."Eph 5:31-33

Mother's Day

I woke up this morning having a heavy heart. I thought about my life a year ago on Mothers day... I remember it was a really tough day after losing our sweet baby 2 months before. I remember my family took a trip and I was unable to see my mom that day, I believe I laid in bed all day. It was just the beginning of God working in my life and making me the women I am today and yearn to be. Now a year later, I can see who I was and who I am today and I owe to our savior for seeing me through all my pain and long road of medical treatments. Today I am almost 18 weeks pregnant with a sweet gift from God that was so unexpected but so cherished. Today my heart is heavy for children who have lost their moms, for moms who have also lost their children in some point in life, and for friends who have tried and tried to become moms. My heart aches for all of them.  My dear friends, you hold a special place in my heart, you might not know it but you have taught me so much. I see God working in your lives and it brings me much Joy when I see HIM shine through you. HIS plan is perfect, we might not agree with his timeline but we have to trust. I know HE is going to do great things!

I love you MOM! Thanks for always letting me know you are here for me for all trails of life, thanks for being the wind beneath my wings!

"We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise"
