as i sit here on the eve of another big adventure, i can't help but look back on this season of life. this has been a crazy, hard, anxiety-filled, beautiful season. i've battled anxiety, gotten a new family member, gained a job and left a job, and grown a lot as a wife and as an individual. i've found purpose in my life and have been lost in the waves of God's grace. but there is no denying that this was a desert season for me. i found myself depressed and dry, with no desire to grow or live. i found myself just purely existing. praise God that I serve the King of Kings who always has open arms for me. He has taught me so much about grace, and specifically that grace for myself, the ocean of overwhelming grace that He has for us.
i was feeling so good about this move. just really on top of things ya know? then, we realize finances are tighter than we expected, we got a call that we couldn't move into the apartment we had originally selected until saturday, and our reservation for our moving truck had been voided unexpectedly. but what's awesome is that there is a God on our side, who loves us and cares for us deeply. so we ended up with some extra finances that were unexpected, we got another apartment in the same complex that is bigger, has a nicer view and is the same price, and the rental place had the correct size truck and threw in some furniture pads for free. so basically, God just blows my mind all. the. dang. time.
i'm looking forward to what this next season has in store. i have a second job interview on friday with an adoption agency and we're moving into an awesome complex. we have huge hopes in finding community in a church family, and we're excited to continue growing in our marriage. we want to start a family soon, and we're trusting God for all things surrounding that. there is much hope and promise in this new season, and i know He is in control. i am so grateful to have aaron by my side. i am truly blessed with one of the best.
