A-ha
Wow... What a wonderful weekend I so far! I had the opportunity to go with my sister on an over-night Women's Retreat with her church, Lifepointe. The speaker was awesome and the fellowship with the ladies was sweet. I just sent at least 12 friend requests on Facebook! I could not share a weekend like that with these precious women and just walk away.
So, today God gave me affirmation on a struggle I have been dealing with for about 12 years now. I had so much guilt over this thing that it had put a wedge between me and God. But it did not REALLY hit me until on my drive home. After I was alone I cranked up my Third Day Pandora station. I can't remember the 1st song that played... But I felt God speaking to me. Telling me it was okay. To trust Him. To let go of my guilt. It is not mine to carry. Well, this produced enough emotions on it's own. The next song that came on: David Crowder's "How He Loves". VERY powerful song. Not to mention, THAT was the very song we sung last night at the retreat. At this point, tears start to form. Then Hillsong United, "Mighty to Save" came on. That was IT for me. Could barely see the road from all the wailing I was doing. If you don't know this song, here are some (ok, most!) of the lyrics. So powerful.
(Sorry so long!)
Everyone needs compassion
A love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Savior
The hope of nations
(Chorus:)
Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever
Author of Salvation
He rose & conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as You find me
All my fears & failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender (I surrender)

Thanks to all the women for allowing God to use you for His glory this weekend. And praise God for pulling me up out of this dark hole I put myself in. For opening my eyes to see that the Enemy was trying to steal my joy. NO MORE! God is good.
God bless!

The Love Dare
My husband and I have just had our 10 year anniversary. I believe this is already quite an accomplishment and feel so blessed to have made it this far. We have had our ups and downs just like anyone else but we are still going strong, by the grace of God. Tomorrow I am going to start The Love Dare: A 40 day journey to fully understand what real love is. I am excited about how God will change me not only in my relationship with my husband but in my friendships and interaction with acquaintances as well. May God change my heart and soul in this journey!

It's a new year!
Lot's of things have changed since I last blogged...
1- My baby isn't a baby anymore! He turned 4 in December. He
loves being independent and he voices his opinion on a normal basis. 😄
2- I am proud to say I can call myself a runner. Just decided one day to do something FOR MYSELF. Love it! Ran my 1st 5k Thanksgiving morning. Hoping to create a habit now of running 4 times a week and running a few more 5ks this year. (Hoping my sis will join me too!)
Oh, and hoping to make this handsome fellow, Benjamin, one of my frequent running partners!
3- I added a new tattoo. My sister and I went and got one together and it means a lot to us.
4- My sister had a baby in November and it is the coolest thing ever (besides being a mom to Vincent!) being an aunt! I love my Henry!
It is fun sharing info and being supportive of my sister. She is already a GREAT MOMMY!
Hoping to keep this up! Here are a few more pics from the past few months! Will be blogging again soon!
