One More Time…

I’ve started blogs and forgot about blogs more times than I’d like to admit over the years but it has been stirring in my heart this week to begin another one. I knew this one would need to have a little different purpose and style for me to follow through with it each week! So, I’ve decided to give it one more try and be a little more diligent with posting. Something I’ve been thinking about lately is how God redeems and restores things that we thought were lost or gone forever in our lives. Personally, He has been restoring many things things like passions and gifts in my own life over the past year that I thought were long gone. I think many people can relate to that at some point or another. It seems so appropriate that today is Good Friday and we are coming up on Resurrection Sunday. I believe that life is supposed to be an adventure and a romance with our heavenly Father but too often we hold on so tightly to trying to control situations ourselves rather than waiting on Him. I want to share some of the challenges and joys I see around me through this blog because not only does He restore but He prepares the road ahead of us! Most of you know that Mike and I have been on a crazy journey over the last year between getting married, starting a new job, building our first home, and welcoming our first child together. There have been challenges along the way but it’s only the beginning! I was recently given the opportunity to start organizing missions opportunities and support missionaries that do such incredible work around the world! I’m going to ramble about things Mike and I are learning and doing but I’d also like this to be a place to post about the amazing work they are doing and give an opportunity to pray and support them financially. Below is a link that can be used to support them! I don’t want this first post to be too long but I think the theme here is going to be “One More Time…”
