Changes

It was a crazy day at work today, but I got to see Shannon for the first time in a week. Her poor family had been struck with the stomach flu and she had been out. After work, I ran to my SIL to take pics and see her girls. They were getting ready for the Christmas dance. They looked so pretty and so grown up! It makes me sad to know that all the kids are growing up. My night ended with a trip to Hobby Lobby with a very good friend. After a much needed pep talk, I realized something. I am truly excited about starting the next chapter in our lives. I have been constantly worried and stressed about the process of getting there and giving up being within 15 minutes of our friends and family. Thru all of the stress and worry, I had forgotten the positive side of it. I know it will be challenging at times, but it will also be rewarding. I need this. Jeremy has been doing so great and I feel like I haven’t had my heart where it needs to be. I know he is going to need me probably more than he has ever needed me and I have to get my game face on. He is there for me constantly and he doesn’t realize just how much I need him for support. I have to be that constant person for him. He deserves that more than anybody realizes. I have heard several people tell me that I will make a good preacher’s wife. I don’t know why. I don’t see myself special enough for a role like that. But, I am glad that somebody else does. I know Jeremy is going to do so great. He has such a love for God and a passion to do this. It makes me so proud! Yep, I am like a parent whose kid just made the honor roll. I am extremely proud of my husband for being the Christian husband that God intended. I admire him for taking that leap of faith and for deciding to put God first above all things. Back to the changes(I like to talk about my man!), I am excited for the new friendships we will make and the new people we will meet. Although, I can be withdrawn and not very forward to begin with, I so enjoy “shooting the bull” with people. That’s one thing I enjoy about my current job. I am so going to miss a lot of those people, but I know that I will meet lots of new ones. Please continue to pray for us. We need to sell our house, so I am asking for prayers for that. But most of all, please pray that we will always follow God and do what He wants us to and not what our selfish mind wants us to. God Bless!
