The First.

I was hoping that my first post would be a little sooner than now, but of course, better late than never, right?!

So far this year, I have finished the Harry Potter series! Now I must admit, I skipped books 5 and 6 simply because I've seen the movies, and I became too impatient. I anxiously desired to know how the whole conflict between Harry and he-who-must-not- be-named resolved itself. Needless to say, I was very pleased with the ending.

Over the past couple of days I've been wondering to myself what my plans are for this year. While I began conjuring up a list of resolutions and ambitious tasks, I was reminded of how foolish and arrogant it was of me to plan in a manner expecting these days ahead. So after each mindful goal I quickly inserted a "good Lord willing" to reassure myself that each day is not promised to me, obviously depends on the perfect will of the Father.

But as much as I'm reminded of how fragile life can be and how my sight of the near future is limited, I can't help but feel excited at what this year may hold.
John will be graduating in a few months, and our plans of serving Jesus overseas fills me up with anticipation and joy. What adventures await this scrappy couple, I do not know! But I trust that Christ will be by our side the entire way.

John and I just celebrated year 2 of being married, and I have to say that I love that we get to start each year celebrating our love for one another and the joining of our lives. Marriage has been a wild adventure, but gosh, I love my husband!

I plan to blog more over this year, mainly because of the amazing changes that will be taking place in our lives over the next months.
Let the journey begin...
