Update

Man there’s so much God’s been doing in life. I’ve definitely been learning flexibility and prioritizing during these last few months. Amidst family adjustments, death, relationships, work…God still reigns supreme. During the time I’ve been working 3 jobs like a monkey to get rid of debt, I’ve decided to go into teaching and move the direction I’ve been wanting to go…a lifestyle that’s rewarding and frees up time for family! While I’ve been juggling, I’ve been presented with what I would call “Haters” at my office. That’s really the best word for the evil character they have many times. Sad. I read somewhere that 70% of discomfort with work comes – not from the pressures of the job – but the PEOPLE. So true. The Haters’ve been trying to drag me down but I’ve been a child of God for TOO LONG to not see that coming, right when things get difficult. I know who to look for. Am I right or am I right? So I’m trying to remember to pray for my co-workers and see myself as their blessing and a Christian example. Hope for salvation, not karma to come back around. =)
Shall I move on to the beautiful issue? I’M ENGAGED!!!!

So like me to not see a good thing coming! If only I had known there was such a fantastic man this entire year praying over ME, I would’ve saved so much sadness and depression looking God-ward instead of me-ward. Here I was preparing myself for the future I desired and hoped for, and it came in the most unexpected way. A Venezuelan with my dad’s nickname who works harder than ME and follows after what he desires including serving at his church…my Spanish ministry people at Berean! (It also included seeking after me – a very new concept I never really experienced in a relationship.) It’s really been sweet to be desired and I get a new glimpse of God every day. We’re also learning together that language is the LEAST to worry about when it comes to planning a wedding as we talk about growing together and raising a God-centered bilingual family – HOW COOL IS THAT?!
I could say a lot more, but I’m saving it for our website! What I will say is that, for those who don’t know Jesus, you need to know that He will never leave you and never forgets you. He created you for a purpose and that purpose never disappears no matter what’s happened in your life. The best things in life, and the worst, are merely reminders that this world has a Creator with love in mind. He truly saves us each day from the things that drag us down and – like the Bible says – came to save us once and for all from the evil that separated us from NOTHING-BUT-GOOD, Jesus Christ our Creator and Savior. I hope you take that to heart. If you want to know anything more, please just let me know! I’d love to share more about Him and what He’s done for my life.
