Purpose.

                      

There has been so many changes recently in my life, and a lot of days I feel stuck or lost and confused about my purpose, but there is one truth I try to cling on to that never changes: if I abide in Jesus like a branch abides in the vine, I will produce abiding fruit; and if I obey Gods commands and marinate in his love, I will have FULL joy. No matter where the Army takes us or where we end up living, no matter how many babes I pop out, no matter what diet changes we decide to make and no matter how I look...God is in control and He is the vine.  He has new mercies and graces for me.  He has great faithfulness towards me. He chose me and appointed me to bear GOOD fruit! I am His child. He loves me. He forgives my short-comings and mistakes and wants to use my life to show others how glorious God truly is!  My body is His holy temple.(Disclaimer, these things are true for every believer y'all, not just me!!!) Soooo, this blog is a type of proof for me.  Proof that Jesus IS in control and that He IS present right now, in the midst of what feels like such chaos.  My hope is that this blog holds me accountable to living in the PRESENT, where Jesus is ALIVE and MOVING, and not the past...that I may move towards a life of THANKFULNESS and FREEDOM.  

By the way...I need to recognize my good friend Torrie, who told me a while back that I should start a blog.  I'm finally doing it girl!!!  If you are ever in need of encouragment, Torrie has an amazing blog...check her out at gazinginagarden.
