So begins another year

Well Christmas and new year have come and gone. It's hard to believe another year has gone by. Time really does fly when you are having fun! This last year has been filled with so much joy and many plans revealed from God. Plans that weren't what we were expecting. We started out this year expecting a baby on March 13th and a move to Germany. My husband is in the military and had orders to be stationed there. Instead God blessed us with the arrival of our beautiful baby girl on Feb. 26 and shortly before our planned move (2 weeks before) the Army decided do to my medical necessities we were not eligible to move to that duty station.

I soon went back to work but my heart ached to stay home. After many months of praying and finally feeling it on my heart to stay at home full time I talked to my husband about this. I wanted to be sure that we were on the same page and make sure that this was being revealed to me and not me making it seem as thought God was telling me to be at home wit my daughter. Anyways, my husband wanted me to wait another month or two to get some bills paid off. Well God had other plans, after my daughter running several high temps, and having to constantly go to the Dr. for an unforeseen stomach issue, it was finally time. This came only 4 days after our discussion.

This next year I know will reveal more from God as I am struggling to find a church family. It's amazing to me that I live in the Bible Belt and cannot find Church that I truly feel at home. I also will lose living close to my best friend, my sister as her family is preparing to move back to California (home). I just hope that soon my family will join hers or that we will see each other often. Our girls are only 15 days apart and have become great buddies, this will only increase as I will be watching my niece while my sister is at work or school.

We will also find out many things of where our journey in the Military will end up. My husband is up for re-enlistment in July and may or may not do it. At this point in time he is wanting to finish out his contract (until 2011) and move closer to our families. This is nice but he has also said this before! There is also rumor of his unit deploying sometime with in the next 18 months. If this happens we are selling the house and Riley and I will move back home to have the support of our families to help me. Of course I would rather God reveal those to me now, but it is all in is plan and I just have to keep faith. Anyways I don't know if this blog makes that much since since I am writing this I am exhausted. For those of you who read this I hope you understand my ramblings!
