A lot of life in a short amount of time!
Hello friends! It has, once again, been a little while. My apologies.
May was an absolutely crazy month. Let me repeat that: Absolutely. Crazy. In sharing all that had occurred a friend said, "You lived a lot of life in those few weeks!"
For starters, I went back on the job hunt (and am still there) after almost three years of not being on the job market! Yesterday I was asked if I still have peace about my job situation, and the answer is yes. I only say that for two reasons: 1. Because I have had more emails and phone calls asking me to come in for interviews than I've ever had. In just about three weeks I've had three interviews and have two more lined up this week. Things are moving! Things are happening! There's no stagnancy, no silence, and I know that God is in control! And 2. Because I KNOW that God is in control! I know He is! This time of waiting did not catch Him by surprise and I feel that there is an opening door literally right in front of me, inevitably about to open. I just have to trust Him and I do.
In between finding out I was getting laid off and searching for a job, Justin's parents were in town. I spent nearly the entire month of May spending time with them and getting to know them for the first time. Most consider that a "big" step in a relationship and honestly, while I was anxious at first I was surprised at how seamless the transition went. By the end of it I feel as if I'd known them for ages! I ate way too many home cooked meals, drank lots of tea, and seriously just feel like I fit right into the family. What a blessing! An added bonus is that MY parents got to meet them their last weekend here. Oh! So lovely my widdle heart just about burst! It was hard to see them off when they left...But they'll be back soon enough :)
My last bit of news I think will not come as a surprise to many, except for the fact that this is the first I've "gone public" with it since it happened. (Because, wouldn't ya know, it's so much more fun to share with people in person!) There has been so much joy and excitement and I am so thankful for God's faithfulness and timing (Are you sensing a little bit of a theme here?)
Three weeks ago, Justin proposed. On December 16, 2017, we will be getting married!
We are beyond tickled and excited to be starting this next chapter of our lives together. Please pray for us as we plan, go through counseling, and for all of the other little things in between. And, as always, thank you, thank you, thank you, for your love and support! Our wedding won't be just about us, it will also be about those who have poured into us throughout this journey, and that is worth celebrating. To God be the glory!
Until next time,
H
