There is so much to say...

And I don't even know where to begin.

So I will start with the only thing I do know,
and that is that I have one amazing husband. In a world that is ever changing, he is my one constant.

Where we were, we will call it 'O', some things happened in a church that should never happen. The leadership was wavering and hypocritical. It was hard to see God work in a church when the right people wanted the wrong things.

So me and N began to look for a way out. We forced some things and spent all our energy on wasted desires.

But we knew all along that without God's blessing and will we would get no where.
So we surrendered. We threw our hands up and said, "Ok God. We will stay here. We will do our best to mend the issues here, and we will be joyful about it. I said joyful-not happy."

And thats when it happened. God opened every single door that we were trying to open ourselves. It was amazing to see. He wanted the same things for us that we wanted-He just wanted to be the One to make it happen.

You see, if we had succeeded with OUR plan then we would have failed. We would have given ourselves the credit and somewhere down deep we would have forgotten to rely on Him. But the instant that we gave the reigns back to him, He provided all. Man, we serve a good good God.

So His plan for our lives right now involved moving to a city we will call 'M'. Its in Tennessee and its the home of all things Elvis.

N is still a youth minister but in a totally different venue than we left.

And I, I am a teacher. I teach high schoolers and I teach them math and english. Its a joy.

So that is where we are. We are doing our best to navigate life as newlyweds in an everchanging world. But praise sweet Jesus that He gave me a man that is constant. Never swerving. Focused on His will. And patient and forgiving.

He, N, is the second thing that has kept me happy during all this. And because my sweet savior decided to show us His will for us, He is the first thing.
