What has been going on in the life of this missionary girl in the making over the past year? For starters, I have gained a new nephew. My oldest sister and her husband had another baby last December. He is now 5 months old and SO stinkin' cute! You can read about her and her life at her blog here: http://fromthelittlewhitehouse.blogspot.com. I never realized what a blessing having nephews to spoil is! Being an aunt is one of my most favorite roles.
Another big highlight of this past year came this February when I was asked to be in a relationship with a godly man. I am very honored that he chose me and am looking forward to what God has in store for us in the months and years to come.
Right now, I am learning to rest in the Lord. I am currently not able to work as an EMT because I injured my back while on a call and found out I have at least one herniated disk in my lower back. It's been 2 months now that I've been off of work and it's not looking too hopeful for returning in the near future. God totally took my feet out from under me. He works in mysterious ways but He needed to get my attention. I had been working alot of long hours which is not healthy. Sometimes He uses circumstances that we don't understand to cause us to slow down. Prayers are appreciated for healing and also patience.
I am going to try to keep this updated more regularly. God is doing a work in my life and heart and sometimes it's good just to write about it. I want to use this blog as a way to encourage people who happen to stumble onto my page. Blessings to you all!
Here's the most recent picture of my family taken on Mother's Day. What a blessing it is to have grown up in a godly family who loves the Lord. I praise God for them!
Me and my boyfriend. Another tremendous blessing from the Lord!
