2010

Well 2009 brought about some changes to our family for sure. My uncle I did not know well passed away. A bit of sadness to bring the family closer. It seems like that is the way God works sometimes. I was blessed with a job. A really good job doing something I already have a calling for. I went from not working at all to working 96-122 hours a week. We moved away from home which is fine but I find myself feeling homesick for the Pacific Northwest. No matter where I was born or where I live now I guess I'm just a country tater girl at heart and always will be.
I've been blessed with a ministry of sorts and am trying to wrap my brain around the way God's using me now. The biggest news of 2010 however is my renewed friendship with someone from back home. The renewed friendship with a wonderful man of God who is truly my best friend. Someone I can trust with anything and everything and I do.
I was able to buy my dream vehicle this year a 2000 Dodge Dakota Sport. I had a magazine picture of one on my bedroom wall when I was 16. Now I own one and I named it Sugar. It feels good to accomplish something without having to lean on someone else. Well other than leaning on God's grace.
For the last 5 months I haven't been able to tell whether I'm coming, going, or just went but it's been such a crazy beautiful mess of a life filled with God's faithfulness and glory.
Joe is still in Idaho. Still working at Wal Mart and I miss my brother an awful lot. Mom is working as the Human Resources of the business so she gets to work from home and continue going to school online. She also takes care of Sarah while I'm working which is good because daycare costs would be horrible.
I am thinking of moving back home this summer to start my life ....... again. But I am trying to be content listening for God's perfect will and His perfect timing. Sarah and I are going to take a week long vacation to Idaho soon and we're both so excited to go. I turn 27 next week and my best friend is flying in to be here for me. THAT is the BEST gift a girl could ask for! The Lord is so good to me!
