So I just finished reading my husbands awesome blog, as well as a few others that I follow. Seriously they had 10 things about their life/joys that really cheered me up. What's wrong? Nothing! But I wanted to take a moment to dwell on the goodness of life. So here are 10 things that make me happy right now.

10. Giggling with girls at work about babies

9. Acting like a fool for my baby so that he will giggle at me

8. Gloria's bread

7. My sister and our lives changing together

6. I am deeply loved by my Mosaic family

5. God is stretching me farther than I am comfortable daily

4. That I am at the age where I will be attending 2 year old Birthday parties again

3. That everything is so green and it has been raining for 2 whole days

2. That I am married to the most hard headed, motivating, inspiring, grounded, hard working, loving, passionate, adorable & funny man in the world!

1. And that my Lord is captivated by simply me....Wow

So obviously I have some serious blogging issues. It's not just blogging I have a general inability to follow through in almost everything I do. Basically, I justify it as a fear of failure but who knows. Otherwise life is so good. The truth of drawing near to God and he will draw near to you has never been more true. I am changing my life (or allowing God to radically makeover who I have become). I am seeking the Lord daily, I am a vegetarian, I am trying to workout as a way of seeking physical discipline. I am changing the presence of my home, desiring that it is a place of rest and joy to our family and all those who enter. I am enjoying the blessing of who my husband is and how amazing my family is. I am so in love with my Mosaic family and am trying to open my heart and time to them more and more. I have never felt better. I cannot believe that God chooses to spend time remolding something that he has already had to invest so much time trying to refashion into the creation he designed. I say all this because I finally realized, it's never too late, God can always make a way. But it takes day by day effort to make change. No matter how small or seemingly insignificant. Do what God is asking and calling you to in your personal life and he will not disappoint!

3 years

So today marks 3 years of marriage, WOW!!! I cannot believe how much James and I have changed and how much has happened. Marriage is harder than I thought it would be, but more beautiful than I ever expected. I hope that I will be a better wife this year; that God will mold me into the wife that I dreamed of being and that James dreamed of having. The older I get the more incredible the Prov 31 example becomes, but I am going to try. I am living for today, what it has and what I can accomplish--and soaking in AND pouring out as much love as possible!
