Well with the gentle nudging (more like constant badgering..haha) from a few friends, I have remembered my password (with some help from our friends here @ WordPress) and hopped back on the blogwagon:)
So here goes nothing…to be honest I can’t remember what I blogged last time…the last couple years are pretty much a blur, which is probably better because if I could see it clearly it may make me cry…or question, or just sigh REALLY loud! Bush Manor has taken some HUGE changes…jobs, locations, finances, churches, friends, etc…so as you can imagine our once solid life was challenged. And not all in good ways..haha I can laugh now, well actually I laughed alot then too…mostly from disbelief that THIS was my life, and then sometimes because if I didn’t laugh, I would cry….ALL the time! And that is good for NOBODY! Especially me! If you know me @ all you know I am not a fan of public crying…I mean doing it, not someone else, so these changes were bringing out a weepy side I was not fond of!
Funny (not funny like haha, funny like ironic, nice funny) that no matter how much the storms raged…AND BOY DID THEY RAGE! And even tho I felt the affects of the storms( yes multiple …@ the same time even)..there was an underlying calmness that was even more present & constant. I knew that regardless of what happened, how things seemed to be going, WE were right smack dab in the center of His hand:) He was holding, protecting and making provisions for us the entire time. And in the times when it was the darkest, He was the light that brought us through it.
Now being on the other side of it, still feeling small after affects @ times, which is normal for storms of that caliber,I can say with the utmost confidence, I am the daughter that Jesus loves!
We are in the place we have been designed to be in, in many senses. I have walked into 2011 with GREAT expectations! Know that the latter of 2010 my life and outlook has radically changed because of His love!
Bush Manor (every part of it) is better for the things we learned, the trials we faced and the strength we have gained.
So heres to 2011! I don’t know about anyone else, but here things are good (finally) but I am not settling for good…we are going from GOOD to GREAT this year! In every area I want GREATNESS! Home, school, church, finances, relationships, jobs…GOOD to GREAT!
Giving thanks in 2010!
Yay! My day is now complete…. keep it coming sister!
