Come What May...

Well, it's been a while. Sorry about that! At first I was working literally sun-up to sun-down and had no time to find free wireless, then I went home... (a huge smile creeps across my face)... Home was nice.

Hope your Christmas' were merry and your new year's eves exciting. Our first Christmas together was wonderful! We had all sorts of family fun... It's absolutely absurd to think that this weekend we will have been married a whole year! My my; time sure does fly!! It was really hard to leave my parents home. Unusually hard... I suppose just because so much change has occurred in the past year I just felt so stable there.

Nevertheless, here I am. Blogging. About nothing really. Hope you haven't gotten too bored. I do have one revelation to share. Just the other day, I was thinking about how I need to spend more time developing my relationship with the Lord and accomplishing what I do know He has made me to do. It's so satisfying to uncover all He has to offer. Every time I get in the zone of reflecting upon all that, I become so torn inside.This time, the two things I felt tugging at my heart strings were wanting to start a family in the near future and traveling the world free of that responsibility (in a nutshell)...

Now, now, I know what you're thinking. But I was reading when I came across the realization that it really is a scary time we're coming to, Satan really is on his way into power... my poor future children! I suppose having cable has made me see just how much trash is out there... What are my kids going to wear?! What will they do for fun!? There aren't going to be any affordable child-like clothing stores, there aren't going to be parks my kids can play in free from the threat of a pedophile, there aren't going to be schools that teach academic subjects instead of world views... and I fear our Christian schools just swing the other extreme... Something was pulling at my heart string saying "be fruitful, multiply, raise your kids in the ways of the Lord, add to the population children of moral, righteousness, and Love...etc" then I had the other heart string being pulled by "you're young, travel the world, have fun, buy the furniture you always wanted, having kids will use up the small amount of money you do have... you aren't promised tomorrow- so buy the couch you want, go visit your family in England...etc" haha.

It was really nice to be comforted by the Owner of all those things. I realized that whatever I miss out on because of a lack of money or the abundance of family- is going to be nothing compared to the new Heaven and the new Earth that the Creator will accompany us in. For some reason, that brought me such comfort....
