The Beginning of a New Journey

So with a new phase of life comes new ideas and the fun of trying new things. I have always wanted to have a blog but it never really seemed like a good idea at the time. But now I have begun a new time in my life, why not start a blog. :-) Just a way I want to share with those, who end up reading this anyways, the adventures and the journey that God is taking me. And right now the beginning point I am at is the start of married life. And for all those who have shared their wisdom of married life with me so far I know I am entering into the most amazing journey of my life.

God brought me the most amazing man. Thomas is my prince charming. Someone who I could not imagine living my life without. He is in the Navy and is totally handsome. (If I do say so myself) For some reason it didn't really dawn on me until a couple days ago but I am a Navy wife. For some that might be like, so what, but being a Navy wife I have to start learning all the lovely ins and outs of the Navy. And start calling the the big boats they work on ships. Can't seem to get that one right yet. :-) Guess that is the Army brat still in me. I am praying that in a couple of weeks I will be able to be with my husband in Everett, Wa. Right now I am currently still in the lovely state of Alabama but I am praying hard it won't be to soon and I will be able to be with Thomas soon.

Through all of the wedding craziness one verse always popped into my head.

Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart"

Several years ago the Lord put this verse on my heart. I didn't really quit understand the depth of that verse. I am slowly starting to see and understand. I have searched and searched and asked God so many times over the past few years on what he would have me to do with my life or how to serve him. My heart was searching and trying to do as God would have me to do. My desire all along wether I admitted it to myself or not was to love and be loved by someone. That was truly the desire God had put on my heart so long ago. And tomorrow it will be one week since God gave me my hearts desire and that was marrying my husband. Someone who loves me so very much and cares for me deeply. Who is such a good man of God and has challenged me in so many ways. Someone I can love and take care of and be there for in good and bad times. Seeking after God. Delighting in God. Spending time with the king of creation. I have been blessed far beyond than I could have ever imagined. I have a relationship and the support of a loving God, a loving husband, a loving family, and wonderful friends. I am one blessed and lucky girl. These past couple of weeks my heart has over flowed with excitement and awe at the wonderful things going on around me. My heart is bursting. Things I will cherish forever and will hide them away and treasure them in my heart.

To many this is all probably pretty mushy and over done. But this is my blog so get over it. :-) But this is just another way I want to have something to help me remember that when I get on here a couple months or even weeks from now and life is difficult, I can look back and remember the promises of God and see where he has taken me and look forward to where he is taking me next. :-)

Welcome to my life adventure. I can't promise good english through out it but hey no one is perfect.
