Dedication Day

This was such a special day! Hard to believe Rebecca Joy has more than doubled her age since this picture. Where has the time gone?


Bible Study

I started a new Bible study Wednesday night with my friend at her church. It is a Healing Class. I know I know... a healing class.. what in the world?!? I was a bit skeptical myself at first. But my friend has taken the class before and just loved it! Hearing her talk about it so much peaked my interest, and I asked if I could tag along this semester. 

The lady teaching the class has such an amazing testimony. She is very tender hearted and soft spoken. A great teacher!  And what I've already learned is that the Lord is not just in the business of healing people physically, but also mentally, emotionally, spiritually, relationally, etc. We started Wednesday night with discussing the Word of God and how we view or receive the Word of God. I believe she is going to build on this greatly! How can we trust God to heal us of emotional wounds when we don't take him at his word and trust the things he has told us in his word? The truth is, we can't. 

I've asked God to reveal any and all areas of healing that I may need. Some I believe I may not even know about yet. One area I know I need healing and freedom from came to the surface just last night. And the moment it did, I knew God was bringing it to the surface because I need freedom from it. God knows what the areas are. My pray is that he would heal me of these areas and allow freedom in my life. I want my wounds to become scars.

Gotta Start Sometime!

I've been putting off blogging for a while...but I feel like now is the time to start. Not that I have anything great or extraordinarily special to share, but I do believe that God gave me parts of my story to share with others. He didn't bring me through them to keep quiet. Instead, I believe I have a duty to share what all the Lord has done in my life so He will get all the praise, honor, and glory He deserves! 

Just a little about me-- I am a recent stay-at-home mommy to my beautiful 7 month old, Rebecca Joy. I quit my job 3 weeks ago to start staying at home with her. I just joined a MOPS group at my church and LOVE being with my family when I get to... they live about 1.5 hours away. I just started sewing bibs, burp cloths, and monogramming towels, etc. I'm hoping that will take off and become a small business on the side. That part is really fun and I'm really really enjoying sewing! I'm a Christian and love my church. No church is perfect and ours if far from that...but my husband and I have the absolute best, most compassionate, caring, giving, and selfless friends (from our Sunday school class) that we love dearly. They are like family to us since we don't have family in town. I married my high school sweetheart and we've been married 6 years in June. He is so kind, compassionate and super supportive of me. I love him so much! 

So that is probably more than you cared to hear on the first post...but I'm glad I finished it! More to come, hopefully soon!
