Here is where I'm at in a nutshell. God has blessed me tremendously even though I don't deserve it. His faithfulness continues to amaze me. I have a wonderful family, incredible friends, a job that I enjoy (most of the time), a great church, and even a new house . Life is good....and not because of this 'stuff'. It's because after being a believer for most of my life, I have finally realized how incredibly broken I am. He is showing me that the more that we seek Him, the more He pulls back the layers of our hearts to expose what's really there. And a lot of the time, it's not very pretty. But..."He is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry, and filled with unfailing love." (psalm 145:8) These past two years have been full of the highest highs and the lowest-lows. But through it all, Jesus has shown me time and time again that he is more than enough. My prayer is that this new-found contentment will never turn into complacency. I never want to lose my hunger for the things of God, for His Word, and for His truth. And I never want to stop being thankful for my life and God's goodness.
On a lighter note, I talked to one of my bestest friends Rebekah tonight all the way from Australia. She is new bride of less than two weeks and I'm so grateful for her friendship. Rebekah is an amazing friend who always laughs at my jokes, encourages me when I need it most, and Jared (her new husband) is very lucky to have her. Here is a picture of Mindy, Trait, Rebekah, and me from a couple of years ago at the Brady Goat Festival. Yes, you read that correctly. A festival celebrating goats. Oh, Texas....
