brighter

My days have been brighter lately, and I am ever so thankful for it. It seemed that things were looking down and sad, which I hated!

Nathan and I went to church today and it was wonderful. It was a sermon about raising your children with a relationship and not with position or power, which is good food for thought when we become parents somewhere down the road! We relaxed, napped, grilled (well, Nathan did), and made more bunting! We organized our hundreds of plates that we are using for our wedding, and watched Kitchen Nightmares (we have our reality how guilty pleasures...), and talked and loved. It was wonderful! I love love love good days!

I have been praying a lot for growth, and I decided to start tithing tonight. God gave me my job when I most needed it, and he deserves it all. So, I am going with the general rule of 10% of everything that I make, and save for our wedding! I am praying for clarity and peace, and it's slowing getting there. I love my fiance, and I am so blessed! I ordered some books on growing closer with God and trusting him because this seems to be my biggest challenge. I get anxiety when I am out of control of my life, and I have to resolve myself to realize that I really am not in control, and that I need to pray and "give it all to God". I'm working on it.

Praying for many more blessed, happy days ahead with my fiance!
School starts in a few weeks!
