The Great I Am

 

I can't believe it's been 2 months since my last post, where has the time gone. February flew by.  February 7-14 I attended HeartQuest through Fellowship of the Sword, it was a truly life changing experience and I enjoyed my time alone with Father as he spoke to my heart. I came back a new woman, free to run the race he has set before me, confident in my worth that is found in him, and able to see my inner beauty that he makes shine so brightly.  (I would recommend this to any woman)  What surprised me the most was not the amazing things he did in me while I was gone but all he did to my husband.  Our marriage totally changed upon my return, it wasn't like it was bad before but wow, did God show up in a big way and totally give me more than I ever could have imagined or hoped for.  He is truly amazing.  Upon my return home I felt called to be rebaptised.  I was honored when I asked my husband to assist in my baptism that he agreed.  What an amazing experience.  Shortly after I returned home and my husband saw such a huge change in my he decided he wanted to attend Quest (the men's version of HeartQuest).  I was thrilled.  The last week in Feb. brought about my 36th birthday.

March began with Ethan's 7th birthday, shortly after that we traveled to Brownsville Texas for vacation and to visit my parents.  We left March 8th and didn't return until March 22nd.  While we were in Texas Jason flew up to Dallas for his Quest event March 14-March 18.  We missed him terribly while he was gone.  I was able to fly up to Dallas to meet his bus upon his return.  What an amazing experience.  My wonderful new friend Alex that I met on my HeartQuest picked me up from the airport and I got to spend a few great hours with her catching up and meeting her family.  Her husband happened to be on Quest the same time as my husband.  Jason and I then spent Sunday in Dallas and flew back to Brownsville on Monday, we then flew home as a family on Tuesday.  I can't believe we have only been home a week.

It's all been very surreal to say the least. The good thing about homeschooling is that I took all the kids schoolwork with them and they were able to do school while we were on vacation.  It's amazing what a great incentive the pool is.  We were blessed with amazing weather 80's and sunny, the entire time we were there.  We are very grateful to my parents and grandparents for giving us a place to stay and also a vehicle.  While in Texas we swam ALOT, Brynna potty trained herself and became a very confident swimmer, we went on a pirate ship, went to a Mexican Bakery, went to the zoo, went to a Movie, Brynna's first, and had a lot of fun outdoors.

April brings about Softball/Baseball, swimming lessons, classes in Connections, Wednesday Night Bible Study, Class at the Air Zoo and hopefully some warmer weather.  We hope this finds you all well and incredibly blessed.
