beginning the path to brain leakage

Okay so the title is a little dramatic! I tend to lean that way. I am creating this to have an outlet to my thoughts. I always loved to journal and am interested in through this process of continuing to journal. It has always been such a release to me to be able to speak my thoughts. If no one other than my husband sees this blog then that is okay. I pray to honor God through this blog. I must guard to not do anything on this site to take glory away from God. I am currently working on renewing my relationship with God. Let's see if I can actually sum that up in a short format.

After years of dreaming of a blessing that I greatly desired, God fulfilled that dream. Then I found myself realizing that God was somehow lost in the equation because everything changed so drastically. Don't get me wrong as I have found the most wonderful blessing in the fulfillment of that dream. I just seemed to forget to leave God in the picture, so after falling deep in self reliance I now am fighting the whirlpool but fortunately I am allowing God to do the guiding and rescuing. I feel stronger in His power than I have ever felt before and the interesting thing I am far from the end of the course.

Once again I am missing my Mark! He is once again off to defend the masses. I am so blessed to have him as a wonderful spouse. God was amazing in how he brought us and has kept us together. Mark desperately needs my and everyone prayers as he is in a country that is very much not interested in following God's will. He also is having problems with his back hurting him. I pray that God will heal him.

My little man is at the babysitters! We are so lucky to have our sitter. Not only is she a great sitter but a great friend and I am very thankful for her. Ethan is such a wonderful blessing for us! How did we become so blessed. Thank you Lord for your wonderful gift.

Mark, Ethan and I are looking forward to the month of April with personal exuberance! We will be reunited as a family. We will only have 15 days but oh my goodness we are planning a wonderful time of renewal for our family. Mark and I have been discussing having theme days. We will try to in a small way cram the other 350 days into the 15 we are allotted together this year. We are trying not to be jealous of the time we are giving up to family in that time period. We WANT to see family but at the same time we have such a small window for each other that it is hard to balance it all out. So we are planning for a balance and believe we have struck on an option that will benefit everyone. It will not be completely received with good tidings but it will be our solution. I look forward to our time together. I am already praying for smooth times that will be memorable and exciting.

I guess that is enough for now and I pray that I find the right words each time I visit here!
