Wow. I can't believe how much I have slacked on this thing! Ok maybe I can. Life simply does not stand still, and I think each day keeps getting faster and faster.
Quick life update: we stepped down as youth pastors in may, gabby turned 1, and I am working now!!!
Stepping down from youth minitry was the biggest bitter sweet moment. We hated that we weren't going to be involved with our students like we were, but knew our season was over and that God was going to do more through us stepping down. It has been the most amazing, difficult, exciting, and nerve racking 3 months. There is so much fruit in our life through friendships, our marriage, and ministry that I am confident God knows what he is doing. Just being totally honest, I came to a breaking point where God had to intervene or I would have been miserable. I have struggled so much with the call of worship and the call of being a mother I don't think many people fully understand the weight and pull it has been in my life. I recentl started leading worship for out prayer group/revelation class on Wednesday's and it has been so refreshing and life giving just to be in his presence an join with a group of people worshipping Him. I know that this season in my life is preparation for where te Lord wants to take Dave and I in ministry. It's pruning season and it's been so good for me and for my husband.
Umm my daughter is one!! Hello?!?!?!? How in the world did that happen. I really have no clue. She acts like she is two and is talking! Her favorite phrase is "what is that" and she is starting to make animal noises-moo and meow are definitely her favorites ;)
Lastly I am a working mom now, I am currently nannying 2 little boys 2 days a week (4 this week...) and I have decided I am done after 2 kids. And I am praying my next one is a girl. It is amazing how different boys and girls are. I I am excites they will toughen up gabby, but she constantly pounds it now and I catch her body slamming the boys on occasion.
Life is so sweet now and I am so blessed. I can't wait to see what the rest of year will bring!
