Us

It's official:  I'm a blogger.  For sometime, I've wanted to begin one, now's as good of a time as ever.  I've always enjoyed journaling my thoughts & prayers & looking back to recognize the Lord's sovereignty, provision & presence over everything.  So, as technology progresses, I suppose I will too & welcome anyone who wants to join us.  I write not because we are important, or worth reading about, but because He is. 

I am about to wrap up with my third semester of hygiene school & will graduate in May, Lord willing.  I have come to recognize fears of unknown, my love for a profession involving people, & how much I truly cherish my classmates, professors & my education.  Luke is continuing his career path at EY & recently became a senior. 

Knee deep into nearly three years of marriage I experience daily & more clearly God's authorship & vision over marriage that is described in Ephesians 5:22-25.  This isn't to say it's always a walk in the park, but the unconditional love & support (physically, spiritually, & emotionally) I receive from Luke is a daily reminder of love I don't deserve, & the even greater amounts of love, grace & mercy we receive from our eternal father.  Luke became a student again this year & will graduate from the Austin Stone's Men's Development program in May.  He has a deeper understanding of the bible as God's love story for us, how to read it more clearly, apply it, & what it truly means for us as believers.  We have the opportunity to attend a gospel-centered church that doesn't shy away from His truths & live life with others on a daily basis.  Highs & lows are a natural part of this temporary thing called life, but with supportive, loving family & friends & the foundation we stand on in Christ we've got the ability to "roll with the punches."  Hoping everyone had a good Thanksgiving.  More to come....
