I Am An Overcomer.

/

Happy Saturday! We had a wild a crazy last few weeks as we had a very special one year old birthday party (which I cannot wait to post about!) and we had family in town. I feel like I have been a little MIA from life in general! I am finally getting my bearings back, and Trice and I are making a plan for the rest of the year. Have you noticed that when you don't plan out your days, you end up sort of all over the place? That's why I feel like it is so important to have goals that you set for yourself and your family each day, week, month and year. But we are terrible at this. So we are setting a goal to be better at setting goals... Wish us luck! Ha ha.

Our Joy Journey - Random Acts of Joy Ideas

/

We have had so much fun so far doing random acts of joy this month!

One of the things I feel like God is showing me is how much He loves to shower His love on us. But because God does not have actual hands and feet here on this earth, He uses PEOPLE to be His hands and feet. Isn't it neat that God chose to partner with PEOPLE to show His love? What an exciting opportunity :) Realizing this really makes me want to steward His call on my life so very well. My prayer is that people are drawn to and wooed by their loving Father through these random acts of joy. And that the hopeless will be given hope. And that the lonely will know that they are noticed and not alone. And that the frazzled person will get the fresh breath of air that they need. And that the depressed hearts will turn to JOY!

Our Joy Journey - Spreading Joy One Day at a Time

/

Happy November everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful October, and I hope the Fall weather is bringing warmth and joy to your heart!

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you know that I did a 31-day challenge to celebrate my birthday last month! The challenge was to find something to celebrate each day of the month, and to fully embrace it and be thankful for it. I am usually not quick to do any sort of 31-day challenge or to overpost about my birthday, but this year was different.

The First Five Years: God Provides

/

Today is August 8, 2014. Five years ago today, on August 8, 2009, I said "I do" to the most ravishing man on Planet Earth. I cannot believe it has been five years. That's 60 months. That's over 1800 days. That's half a decade!! Yet it all seems like yesterday that we were standing at the altar, reciting our marriage vows, and giggling and giving high fives... because we are cheesy like that :) We have had our challenges for sure, but we are SO in love with each other and so grateful that God handpicked us for one another. Life is just SO much fuller with my Trice!! Happy happy anniversary love!!
