Hello, friends! I know I haven’t been posting lately … there’s somewhat of a reason for that. 😉 Lots going on in life. For one I’ve been swamped with babysitting jobs (on top of my regular part-time job); so much so that I’ve had to turn some down. Also I’ve been doing little parties and things here and there as a sales consultant for Lemongrass Spa. They just launched their spring/summer line, which is really fun!
My sister and I have been going to Sunday services and (more recently) Wednesday night Bible study at a small, Biblically-grounded, friendly church. This has been such a blessing! How important it is to be intimately part of a strong faith community! My heart has been overwhelmed with gratitude toward God with how He has been answering things I’ve long prayed for.
Most dramatic life update of all … I’m moving. January 2019, after attending the C.R.O.S.S. conference, I started praying seriously about moving 17-ish hours away from home to where some of my close friends live. I had already been thinking about it. Last summer, I decided I was going to take the leap of faith – probably in spring 2020. Well, now it’s spring of 2020. I put in my two-week notice at work, I’m packing up all of my life belongings, and I’m heading out in ten days. *is excited and nervous and happy and sad and eager and terrified and numb all at once*
How grateful I am that my life is in God’s hands! I keep praying and committing all of my plans to Him. Asking Him to lead, guide, and open doors. And shut doors. And keep working out every detail of my life for His glory and my good. ❤
I know I have people who love and care about me here and there. And most assuring, I have a Heavenly Father who tenderly cares for me.
I would appreciate your prayers!

LOVE the covers! I like to experiment making my own in my free time. Also, I hope your move goes smoothly! Moving can be scary… but if it’s where God is calling you than there is no wrinkle too wrinkly for Him to iron out. But WOW that is pretty far away from your family! I don’t know if I’d be brave enough to go that far. ❤ Prayers!

Thank you, Emmaline! The move went well and I’m settling in, despite all the craziness going on with covid-19. God is so faithful! ❤ I do miss my family already…but really feel the Lord's hand leading me here.
