Crazy Love

My sincere apologies to those of you who frequently check in, eagerly awaiting my return to the world of blogging (thank you for your loyalty) and have been left with a void to fill for these last few months! I have returned.

Allow me to introduce you to my AMAZING husband...


... which makes me...

...his lucky wife!



The last time you heard from me was a few short days before Andrew & I said our "I Do's" as husband and wife...


Now a few months later I am still amazed at the blessings the Lord provided for us in 2008 which have continued to overflow into the present.

Often, I am overwhelmed with a feeling of thankfulness mixed with a "pinch me" mindset. How did I get here? I am so undeserving and yet the Lord- through his mercy and grace- chose to repeatedly pick me up, dust me off and lead me -even when I dragged my feet.

Recently, we have been reading a book called "Crazy Love," by Francis Chan in our small groups at church. The book has been quite a convicting experience when it comes to me and my view of God. So often I tend to get wrapped up in the daily details that I tend to overlook the REAL focus of life. It's so easy to go about our checklists and at the very bottom pencil in a time for God. What a slap in the face! How can I thank God for his many blessings, yet casually squeeze him in between my breakfast and work? I have a Lord who LOVES to spend time with me and my desire is that I too would have a passion that grows for Him. God doesn't NEED me, but WANTS me. I am amazed.

Just wanted to share what's been on my heart. I pray that you all are well and growing in God...He is good!
