New Season

I know I haven't been very good about keeping this blog very updated....My life has gone crazy in the best possible way in the last few months! I never thought that in one year I would fall in love. Be getting married. Have a new sister from Uganda. I never thought my mom would be pregnant with another little sister for me. Or that I would get to work at Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch again. Or that I would be moving to Montana. I would have never guessed that I would be able to go back to MY Uganda and fall in love with a precious babe that is now being adopted by some of our very dear friends. I never thought that I would be so close to my sweet sweet sister Charsie. OR that I would get so close to my mom. They are my girls. They make me laugh. Make me cry. Make me laugh again. They offer incredible advice and they are always they for me.

My post is feeling scattered but so is my heart and my head. Right now is a season of BIG change. GOOD change. hard change. It is simply the end of one beautiful and incredible season and the beginning of a whole new  exciting crazy amazing season. And my heart is right in the middle. I can't wait to be with Chaney everyday for the rest of my life. He is seriously God's best for me and I am way beyond thankful, blessed and ready!!! But at the same time, this is the first time I will be leaving my family and it's not easy. They are all awesome and have made me who I am today and I will miss watching them grow up and cheer them on. But I will just have to be their biggest fan from a distance. I will miss my church and the people who have loved both Chaney and Me for so long. But especially in the past year. Thank you for your prayers! The prayer group on Wednesday nights has rocked my world!

Change can be so bittersweet. But it's only bitter because of how sweet it was before. And it's going to be even sweeter. I wouldn't trade anything for the past year. And I won't trade anything for the upcoming years.

Part of why I decided to post today is because it will be my last past on Sisters Serving Him. I am handing it over to miss amazing charsie and starting a new blog... www.bowenbarn.blogspot.com

Follow what Chaney and I are up to on our new blog but keep updated with Chars on here! Thanks.

Psalm 75:9  But as for me I will proclaim what God has done. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

May all my life be for God's glory. Past, Present and Future. New and Old. Forever.

Oh sissy, What a great post and update. I love you more than words can express. My heart is torn...so happy for you and your "life" and ripped out of my chest because you are going to live so far away, and you are one of my most favorite people in the entire world and have been for 19 years!!!! I will miss you, but I will love you more and more, if that is even possible.

Love,

Mom
