The Latest...

As of now my precious husband has been in Florida for flight school for a week, and it will be one more week until he comes back! I miss him more than ever. It's a bitter sweet phenomenon being separated by distance. You long for your best friend more than anything, while at the same time you realize all the intricate things you absolutely adore about them. That is exactly what I'm experiencing. I am without a doubt the most lucky girl alive and I am blessed beyong belief to have had the opportunity to marry Travis and spen our lives together.

While he is away I'm tackling the book Every Womans Marriage. I always get motivated to do better and grow deeper when he's gone. Perhaps because I have much more free time. I have been learning so much and I pray that I will continue to gain wisdom especially in my ministry to my precious husband.

I am four days away from graduating, five days away from being unemployed, 7 days from being sweetly reunited, and 12 days away from moving Internationally. My life is the craziest adventure and I would not have changed a thing! I am so excited to see what doors the Lord open in the DR and for the time for Travis and I to solely rely on each other. I miss having my wifely duties so I am excited to partake in that again as well!

Yesturday I was reading in Isaiah 40, verses 10-11 I found to be incredible!

"See, the Sovereign LORD comes with power,
and his arm rules for him.
See, his reward is with him,
and his recompense accompanies him.

11 He tends his flock like a shepherd:
He gathers the lambs in his arms
and carries them close to his heart;
he gently leads those that have young."

I think it is vital to remember that the Lord is not only powerful and ruler of all, but He is also gentle with us and truly loves us. These verses are going to be a crutch for me as I travel to the DR and only have my wonderful husband. My heavenly father is always there in every season to love me and show me the way. I am forever grateful for His love!
