Well guys, I haven't written in a while because- well, honestly nothing has happened that has been worth writing about :).
Chris and I have just arrived home after a late night at a friends house. On the way home, Chris and I started talking about all the things that have happened since we were married in December, and I started thinking to myself how much my life has changed even in the last few years! Now, I imagined a lot of things since childhood but NEVER did I imagine that I'd be in Kansas- in a city I had never even heard of- and helping in a small country church. As I think of this, I look back on all of the ways God prepared me to be what I am today. Every little issue I faced as a pastor's kid (which by the way- even though not always appreciated- was the best childhood I could have imagined) , and every problem that I have run into has not been in vain. True, I am not very old, but the more steps I take in life, and the more I grow as a Christian, the little things like- taking piano, going to a Christian school, having parents in the ministry, and having siblings and grandparents that lived far away for most of my childhood- every bit of it has helped me to cope with where the Lord has me now. I am so excited to be here, with my husband doing exactly what the Lord has planned for us right now. I don't know what adventures lie ahead, but I know whatever they are that the Lord is preparing us right now for whatever he has planned for us in the future. I get so excited thinking about all the promises God has given his children and how He will lead us every step of the way!
Do I miss my family? More than anyone can possibly know. Do I run into hard things to deal with and wonder whether moving here was a good idea? Absolutely. But then I just think about all the ways that God led us here, all the ways he has blessed since we've been here, and all the things He has in store for us while we are here; and then suddenly, I have overwhelming peace that I am exactly where God wants me and doing exactly what God wants me to be doing. And that my friends is the perfect recipe for happiness and a good night's sleep........
God is so good.

Diana,
ReplyDeleteI have loved reading your blog! It is fun to see what is going on in your life! We are happy God is using you and Chris and are excited at what all you are learning and doing there in Kansas. Of course, we pray for you and Chris every day and every night. I miss you very much but sometimes when I am by myself I think of how wonderful it is to have 5 children and their 4 spouses who know, love and serve the Lord. It is truly more than anyone could ever imagine and gives peace and contentment. HAPPY LORDS DAY!
Hey Diana. Your mom told me about your blog so I had to check it out. You will have to send me your email so that I can invite you to mine. My email is claramarie_16@yahoo.com. I love blogs so much more than facebook, it is so much easier to keep up with people. I look forward to hearing more of your happenings in Kansas!
