I've had this blog since I was in high school, but decided a couple of years ago to delete all my posts and start fresh. I can understand why as most of them were severely embarrassing. Haha! I started to blog again about three weeks after me and Luke got married. So, today I thought it would be a good idea and read all of my posts since then... To my surprise I did not feel embarrassed or feel the need to delete any of them. They actually encouraged me.

The struggles and challenges I have gone through in the past two and a bit years have shown me just how much my Heavenly Father has carried me through; with out me even really knowing it. In those moments of hopelessness he planted seeds in my mind of his plan for my life. That he has a future for me, a future that has been made to honor the name of Jesus. In this moment as I sit here quietly, I can remember the times when I have felt the most joy and purpose; it is when I am in absolute awe of my Savior and the grace he has lavished upon this sinful heart. When all else fades away and I think and imagine of the splendor of spending eternity worshiping at His feet. Thank you Jesus for your Gospel and when I have done nothing but run away from you and put idols in place of you... you still pursue me.

Thank you Jesus for blessing me with so much that I do not deserve. Thank you for choosing to use me and save me from the deep dark waters of my soul.

My God is a good God.
