Slight Delay

j
A slight delay.... 2 years of no blog, comes a blog. Rebirthed is the ink and the words flow.  It's been 2 years since my last blog. It would take me one hundred posts to write down all that has happened in my life, all that God has done in my life, where He has taken me, taught me, stretched me, molded me, and now he has brought me back to my roots. From the winter wonderland of Jackson Hole to the swamps of Louisiana. I am back home. I have experienced a lot. I have met a lot of wonderful people along the journey and the most wonderful of all of them is now my best friend, my man, my dream guy- Gray. I am thankful for all that has happened along the way in both of our lives that now join us in life together, back in Lake Chuck. God you are creative, you caught us off guard on this one.
     
I imagine stories about my experiences these past two years will naturally be apart of my story as I write about this new season in life. So I will let it happen naturally and start fresh. Not boring you with the details of the past, but with the excitement of the present and how the past, present, and future have shaped me into who I am and how they play apart in our daily life experiences. Most of all, I focus on Christ. What He is doing presently in my life, in our lives, in the hearts of those that love Him.


Destiny.
 We have a destiny to live out. God has great things for our lives. He designs a plan for our lives, and gives us confidence to trust Him and to let His plan unfold. I have learned this- that God takes care of us. He does! He brought me back home from Jackson Hole, I didn't have a clue what I was going to do. But I was obedient in hearing Him and knew what He had for me was better then where I was. That is where Gray comes in the picture. I heard he was back in Lake Charles after being with Friendships (a christian humanitarian organization) for 3 years. I always admired who Gray was, his heart, his passion for the outdoors, his strange ways, his love for bikes and people and Jesus. I thought to myself, if I could hang out with anyone when I get back to Lake Charles I want it to be Gray Pumpelly. I took a risk, I sent him a text on my drive home from Jackson and asked him if he would like to meet up when I got in town. Keep in mind I hadn't talked to Gray in years, I didn't think it was that random to text him... but he sure did. Oops. Ha. Well, to make a long story short that was September and I don't think we've gone longer than 3 days without being together. He is my best friend. He is my blessing. Thank you Jesus. Thank you for how you work. You love your children. So now here we are, adventurous hearts united, seeking God with our lives, desperate to do His will, to live alive together, with Christ as the center. God has great things in store. I am excited about the destiny he has written for us. I walk in faith, knowing you are taking care of us and we long to follow your path. Abba you are good and your love abounds.
