LONG OVERDUE!

Psalms 30:11-12 "You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy, that I might sing praises to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!"

What truth is in this scripture! I CANNOT be silent!

Friends, this post is LONG overdue! SO very much has been going on in these past two weeks and I can't believe it has taken me this long to sit down and share it all with you.

The last time we talked was during my first few days of work! Gosh how things have changed..

What an exciting/scary time my first week was...

 I was overwhelmed by the fear of change, but the Lord always provides y'all. He put me in the company and comfort of good friends who gave me guidance and courage! And ironically that fear also gave me the opportunity to encourage a friend with her fears of starting a new job.

Totally God working in our lives, bringing us back together again after several years of being apart! Glory to Him!

AND THEN..... 

In the midst of all this change and nervousness of a new job... BAMM!!! 



Jordan PROPOSED Y'ALL!!!!


CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!!

The love of my life created this ring just for me
He took time to design the intricate details,
to choose the perfect cut diamond, to engrave his words of love on the inside..

All for ME!

I've got big ole HAPPY crocodile tears in my eyes as I'm typing this. 

God is SOOO GOOD!

If I've learned anything from this past season of walking and listening to Him, it is to TRUST wholeheartedly in His timing!!! He is such a loving Father who wants nothing more than for us to love Him and be happy! He'll give you the desires of your heart ALL IN HIS TIME.

I can't wait to spill my guts and talk ALL about the proposal.. Currently making a video of the proposal, engagement dinner and, what we called our, "Mini Moon"!! 

"Mini Moon" Definition: **He ROMANTICALLY whisked me away to a Celebration Vacation with his family to Destin! (ahhhhhh!! still screaming like a little girl...) 

Details to come ;)

Oh yeah...AND I'm creating our wedding website! So much to do!

In the mean time... Here are a few pictures until I get on the ball...

LET THE WEDDING FESTIVITIES BEGIN!!

I'm telling you I could not quit staring at it!
Ahhh! Jordan Did Good!!

The Love of My Life!
Song of Solomon 3:4 I have found the one whom my soul loves.

Father, Thank you for this joyous time in my life! You've given me the clearest picture of how perfect your timing is Lord, and I am so thankful you made this incredible man just for me! I pray that you prepare our hearts for all the special moments to come and that You be at the very center of our union. Father, please help those who don't understand Your timing by giving them peace and understanding. Help us to be a friend to those who are hurting and love one another just as You love us! We thank you for all our many, many blessings! -Amen.

Until next time :)
