Catching Up!

Wow, I've been horrible at blogging lately! There has been a lot going on in our lives, some good things and some hard things, for which we are thankful to God for both! Oh how God has been teaching me to rejoice through not only the good times, but also the hard times! So let me catch you up a bit...

Motherhood has definitely been a challenge for me lately as my little one has decided to be the ultimate sleep hater and not sleep well at night anymore or for naps. Yikes! This explains the trouble of me not getting a chance to blog. : ( Steadily it is improving as I've had to become a tough mommy and let her cry it out. I've learned to prioritize my life more and let go of little things that aren't important to stress over. I am quite the perfectionist and God has been growing me to not worry so much about things. He has also been teaching me that all I need is Him and that He allows things in my life for a reason to accomplish His purpose in me! I'm learning not to buck against the trials in life, but to embrace them rejoicing over the outcome of drawing closer to my precious Savior!

This summer will bring lots of changes in our lives we are gearing up for, and we are so excited to continue seeing God work in us and in our ministry to teenagers! More details to come...

Our little Emmy is growing light a weed! She is crawling and pulling up on everything now! We have officially baby-proofed our house and she is so fun to watch as mobility has opened up a whole new world to her! She is such a happy baby (even despite the no sleep thing). She loves to play and explore!


Recently Emmy and I took our first plane trip together out to Kansas City to see my family and friends...


It was quite the adventure riding a plane together, we enjoyed the way home much more than the way there! I think we have the hang of it now! So hopefully we'll get to see our Grammy and Grandpa and everyone much more in the future!


That's all for now!
