I actually did finish my challenge last week. Ben & I went out thursday evening when I got home from work and just as he began to start capturing my outfit, his camera died. And because we are basically living out of a suitcase right now, we don't have the charger. However, all is not lost as I enjoyed creating new outfits out of the same ol' clothes that I already have. I'll try to do this more often...
This week has been one for the books. Do you ever have one of those weeks where nothing is going right and it feels like your life is falling apart? That was my week.
I don't know what the future holds right now, but I do know that God is extending compassion and grace that only He can give.
That's the really amazing part about life. We can face such rejection and trials that leave us feeling completely inadequate and hopeless. But God...
He can revive our broken hearts. He can restore our mind. He can rebuild our lives! Completely! He's proven Himself faithful to me over and over. I can't help but bless Him in the midst of everything bad around me, because I know He is good and loving and in complete control of my life.
There is purpose in the bad and I'm choosing to surrender and say, this isn't about me. This is your show, and I just want to be on board with whatever it is that your going to do.
I'm so thankful that God is using this time to speak to mine & ben's hearts. I want our marriage to glorify God and I feel like it's shown most when we experience hurt, and we're still able to grow closer with each other.
All I know right now is God is in control. And that's really all I need to know...
love you guys, just said a prayer for you and will be thinking about you, God is good, he shows us the innumerable gifts he has given us even when it doesn't feel such. I love you, I don't know what's going on but He does, and He is transfiguring all the hard and ugly times in our life for beauty behind our imagination.
ReplyDeletePraying for you guys. I know, like you have said, that God is in complete control of everything that is going on and although it seems like it is crashing around you... He is only hoping to restore it all to things you have never been able to imagine! I believe that with everything... as you remain consistent in your love & trust in Him... He will, as always show Himself faithful! and in the process blow you away! Believing it will be in a way you could have never imagined so you both can grow in both love & faith! Love you friend and can't wait to see the other side of what seems to be a crazy storm/season.
