Currently {Vol. 6}
I haven't wrote a Currently post in a bit, so here it goes! Here's what I've been up to currently ... Thinking about: How God provides. And speaks. How He takes care of us. I'm the type of person who loves having control, who needs it. I hate situations where I don't know what to expect because it means I have absolutely no control. I get scared of the what ifs and the unknowns. Uncertainty is not my friend. And I feel like there's a quite a bit of uncertainty in my life right now. But God loves me and takes care of me. He's got this in His hands. My whole future, all the what Continue Reading
Ways to Sleep Better + A Bedtime Prayer
When my husband was gone for a month of training, I spent a lot of time with family in other states. But the days I did spend at home alone, I had the hardest time sleeping. It wasn't just that I missed my husband laying next to me, it was also the fear of having no one to protect me. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever felt so much fear before -- which was silly because I was safe in my locked house. I honestly believe Satan was throwing his flaming arrows toward me (Ephesians 6:16) to prevent me from receiving God's peace and getting a good night's sleep. Fortunately, I had many ways to help me Continue Reading

Thankful Thursday 0918
How's your week been so far? Are you struggling? Counting down the hours until the weekend? Just remember to look for the sunshine, count your blessings, and remind yourself all you have to be thankful for. That's what I'm doing today! Here are five things I'm thankful for this week. 1. For family and friendships that can handle distance and time. Last weekend I visited family that I haven't seen in years and I talked to some friends who hadn't talked to in months. Isn't it nice when you have those people that you don't need to talk to every single day or week to stay close to. The people Continue Reading
