I have been blessed with a handful of moments like that, however my favorite so far was the moment Ethan and I got engaged!

No he did not become these things over night, and no our relationship has not been a walk in the park, however I wouldn't trade our past or our story for anything.
So, funny enough, this post has been one of my hardest to compose. I knew what God wanted me to write about, but every time I sat down to write ideas, scripture, or any sort of truth down I would be stumped on how to start, or too lazy to brainstorm, or too tired to research, the excuses are endless, but finally I found comfort in expelling distractions hold on me by saying "not. today. satan."
The past few days have been a tad moist to say the least – not only are we experiencing frizzy hair, but also standing water up to our mid calves – Texas weather is CRAZY, but that’s a whole other blog posting to dig into!! Obviously rain, especially a consistent drizzle, is the farthest thing from an enticingly productive day, however I promise it is possible!! Here are some of my tips on how to make the most of those rainy days without netflix (I know right - its a scary thought)!

It is February of 2018 – W O W – and resolutions still have a negative connotation most likely revolved around our tendency to be consistently inconsistent with keeping them, however one beautiful and constant thing we can always count on is Jesus, the King of Kings & Lord of Lords! He is sovereign overall.
