Beach Day

Yesterday, we were gonna go to Busch Gardens to have some much needed amuzement-park-fun... 

but after calculating the costs, we really needed to save that money.

So we decided to go to Lido Beach, here in Sarasota for sometime of sun soaking, reading, snacking and wave playing :)

It was so relaxing and I can't believe how beautiful the sunset was. 

I'm trying to soak up this white sand sunny beach area as long as we live here, which only God knows how long.

I included a pic of some azaleas my friend Kristi and I picked from her yard. *gush* I love flowers and hope someday I can just have them over abundantly growing in my yard so I can pick some for my house. :)

He's beautiful

Wow, I'm so bad at blogging. Life's been pretty full lately. Lots to think about, lots to do.
Just want to take a brief moment to say God is beautiful.

That's all for now :)

Happy Valentines Day!

Spent our first Valentines eating french macarons and having dinner at Mi Pueblo. Pretty low key for a "first," but we loved it!

♥

Hope yours was full of love!

"You're Changing Me"

Oh God, there's still so much to do in me
There's still so much that I don't see
But I know you're working hard

I'll trust, I'll trust in all your promises
I'll trust in your unfailing love
Oh God I'll trust in you

You're changing me
You're shaking everything
You're making me the one I'm called to be

You're strong
You're stronger than my weaknesses
You're greater than my greatest fears
You're stronger than me

Nothing,
Can separate me from your love
There's no place I won't find you strong
You're holding on to me

You're changing me
You're shaking everything
You're making me the one I'm called to be

I'm sure and certain of what I don't see
I know my God is changing me
Through faith I'm standing firm

For those who don't know, these are Zeb's lyrics. I've always liked this song but have never felt a deep connection with it until now. It really hit me today, I feel this lift from God. Like our feet are starting to lift off the ground into our transition. He's really leading us into our calling. We're so excited and scared. 

It's such a freaky feeling not knowing what's to come next.

This is when God reminds me to remember the other times I felt this way in my life. Not knowing what the future holds. I remember those times were hard, but somehow I was able to surrender and trust him. Looking back, it seems so easy. How could I possibly surrender to him now?

I have to remember this situation isn't any different than the previous ones. Don't worry, trust him. He's got it all under control.

I wish I could share more details, but I'll have to wait for the time to be right.
