This afternoon I received an e-mail from my awesome(and pregnant)sister-in-law titled Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!! Just the title of the e-mail brought back some great memories from their wedding. Everything about their wedding was PERFECT, because it was all about them. There was NOTHING traditional except the beautiful dresses and flowers. Even the food served at the reception shouted, "this is Evan and Angie's wedding!!". I was even able to be part of the personalized day. You see, instead of a traditional processional of the bridesmaids and groomsmen, Angie wanted something unique that reflected who they are. Evan, being a Texas country boy at heart had his groomsmen pulled in by a tractor to "Just the Good 'Ol Boys". It was so fun for the guys and got a big laugh by all in attendance. Angie, being the totally 80's girl that she is, had us girls dance up the aisle to "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". That's right, I said dance, not ...

Music is such a huge part of my life. My mom has always said that I started singing before I was talking. God speaks to me through music. Music relaxes me. Music connects me to so many emotions. MUSIC MOTIVATES ME!! When I go out for a long run, I get my running mix set on my ipod. I have a wide variety of artists and songs in my special mix but the common denominator is that every single one motivates me for one reason or another. A few songs from my running mix that never fail to keep my feet moving: 1. Sexy Back- Justin Timberlake 2. Break Away- Kelly Clarkson 3. Vultures- John Mayer 4. Hero- Foo Fighters 5. Marvelous Light 6. Voice of Truth- Casting Crowns 7. Meant to Live- Switchfoot 8. I Need a Hero- Frou Frou 9. Belief- John Mayer What songs motivate you? I am so thankful for the gift of music! It's such a beautiful way for people to express themselves and to make an imprint on the world around them! More posts to come on the amazing journey the Lord is leading me ...

Here are a couple of pictures of our sweet kiddoes from Halloween. Tyler was a race car driver(surprise, surprise!) and Katy was a Cabbage Patch Kid. Tyler drove the two of them around the neighborhood to go trick-or-treating in his 4x4 truck. Katy absolutely LOVED her wig and we had several people do a double take because they thought she was a real doll. It was a great night and the kids had so much fun together!

union(noun): the growing together of severed parts b: a unified condition One of the biggest victories that Blake and I have experienced during our time at Celebrate Recovery is feeling like we are growing together in Christ. For so long, we were like severed parts, striving to live for Him, but allowing our hurts and hang-ups to hold us back from the freedom He had for us. We are living in a unified condition now with Christ as the head of our home and hearts. As we were making the path towards becoming unified, we were able to submit to whatever God would have for our family. We also began praying that He would provide a new work opportunity for Blake, one that would allow him to walk out his faith without persecution. God answered that prayer just a few weeks later. He sent a man into our lives that was also praying for us though he had never met us. This man has been able to speak words of life and affirmation into Blake and also speak the truth in love in a way that no one has bef...

One Harsh Word. One Argument. One Death. One Injustice. One Accusation. ONE HURT. Now the question is, will we become bitter or better? 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 "16 That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. 17 For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! 18 So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever." Over the next couple of weeks, I want to catch you all up to speed on the wonderful whirlwind that my life has been for the last few months. I want to share how God is changing my story and our family, and I want to start with how it all began. About 3 months ago, Blake and I started attending Celebrate Recovery at our church to allow God to heal our hurts and hangups. Very ...
