D-Day

Tomorrow morning Jeremy leaves.  I don't know what I was expecting to feel the night before. Anxious, nervous, scared out of my mind perhaps.  Yet I feel a strange calm and peace.  I know it's going to be hard, but  Matthew 6:24 says, "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. " I woke up the other day and remembered that it talks in the Bible that God gives us enough grace for one day, we have to depend on him to take care of the rest, and he feeds the birds and the sparrows, because he takes care of them will he not take care of us?

I know that Jeremy will have a hectic time at BASIC, but that he will grow and learn.  I also know that I am going to have an amazing two months.  Despite knowing this, tears still stream down my face randomly, but I know that my heart is sound and at peace; and I feel as though as that is what's important. After all, I am my mother's daughter, crying is like coughing, sometimes it just happens without us(mom or me) knowing what we're crying about. :-)

This morning in church the sermon was about having a hunger after God, and I know that God has prepared my heart for such a time as this, and as one love leaves to go on an adventure, I will fall more in love with the King of the Universe and learn to rely on Him as my leader.
God is good, and he has a plan,
I'm ready to learn and love,
Bring it on.

Sun Radiant and Moon Lovely


Ravishing as the night sky
Found this on Sunday...
Made my heart sing,
Song of Solomon 6:10 "Has anyone ever seen anything like this—  dawn-fresh, moon-lovely, sun-radiantravishing as the night sky with its galaxies of stars?"

I feel so beautiful reading that. That is how the God of this universe sees me: radiant and ravishing. Wow. I know God as my King and Father, but I'm trying to discover him as my love.

Sometimes I have moments when I don't feel like this at all.  But on Sunday I realized that even though I don't always feel like it, this is how he ALWAYS sees me. 
Sun Radiant

God knows exactly how to woo my heart. 
Love,

Things I'm finding from my perusing...

My new swimsuit top!
Hello friends,
So...I can't believe how fast things change... 19 days until Jeremy leaves for BASIC.  We've been trying to spend as much time together that we have free.  Tomorrow is his last day of work so we're going to go grab lunch together.  Quite excited, I'm truly blessed with such a great man. 

Beautiful spoon ring :-)
As I'm searching for different things on the internet for my trips (read really cute swimsuit top for Florida!) I have discovered the beauty of Ebay and everything they have on there.  I've fallen in love with a few things, and as I look around, I need to remind myself to spend, I mean save money. :-/

One thing I'm falling in love with are spoon rings...can you say gorgeous??!! I'm thinking about buying one to replace my wedding ring during camp, durable, different and neat, and that way I don't have to worry about having my ring stolen, or something happening, plus, it's camp. I'll have more mud than nail polish on my hand, and so I think a spoon ring would be a perfect substitute for a bit!

Also I found some prints online that this guy named Tim Shumate did, and they are beautiful.  No lies, makes me crazy excited to get my next tattoo. With all this extra free time, I'm finding some really cool ideas. 

Anyways, just felt bad since I hadn't updated in a while, I'm holding up, and I'm growing in my faith which is awesome, I'm just soaking in the time I have left with my hubster.

PS. I have the coolest friends ever, I feel very blessed to have girl's that are willing to help me out and I can not wait for a massive slumber party-esque girl's weekend at the end of March.
Love,
Am
