LIFE

I am so sorry that it has taken me this long to update my blog. Life can fly by so quickly that I forget to stop and think about others who probably want to know what's been going on. I am so sorry. Please forgive me for taking so long.

I have never experienced so many trials in life. It is so overwhelming and hard at the same time. There are just so many things that try to pull me down with the way of the world. It is easier said than done to be in the world but not of it. That has been my biggest struggle. I've just been trying to figure out what the Lord has in store over the next couple of months. There are just so many things to think about, but I try not to take it all in at once lest I overwhelm myself. A few of these things include getting closer to Centerville so that it is easier to be where the church is. Right now I live in Sandy, Utah and it is about a thirty minute drive to Centerville where the church is meeting regularly. Another thing is getting financial ducks in a row before Cydney and I get married in May. Yes, for those of you that have not heard, Cydney and I are engaged to be married. I have to try and find a reasonably priced apartment in Centerville, probably in April, so that after Cydney and I are married we can move right in and call a place home for a little while. It has just been so overwhelming with finances lately, so if you guys could pray for that aspect of life it would be so greatly appreciated. We know that without a shadow of a doubt that God is going to take care of everything if only we would yield our wills to His day after day and seek first His kingdom and His righteousness. That is half the battle, however; getting our wills to yield to His day after day and our stubborn autonomous hearts to trust in Him. I've been in prayer so much and know that God has me right where He wants me in life right now. Whatever happens, it is all for His glory and praise anyways. After all, the Word of God calls us to consider these trials with pure joy. They give us an opportunity to prove genuine faith and assurance of hope in Christ our Lord. I just thank God in all my remembrance of you for your daily petition on behalf of the saints, before the throne of our Lord. I love you all and can't wait to see you on May 2nd as Cydney and I proclaim our one flesh union before the God that has joined us together.
