I know it's been way too long. I constantly think things like, "this would be perfect to blog about", or "this is a picture for the blog". It always feels like work though when it comes down to it. Anyway, a lot has happen in my life since my last post and I think I'm ready to share some of it with you all.
Many of you know of the struggles that have overwhelmed my marriage over the last several years and now those struggles have been lifted and a new set have begun. I want to say first and foremost that GOD is GOOD! I have not only felt His presence in ways I could only imagine before, but I have developed a love for the Almighty that I wouldn't trade for anything. He is my All in All. God's word has become increasingly real to me, truly keeping my feet beneath me in the days I was sure I could not go on.
That said, I understand that divorce is a very tough subject and there are many thoughts and opinions about the one I've just been through. Please know that I am FOR marriage and commitment. Divorce should never be an option and yet there are times when it may be the only one left. I am risking judgement by writing about these things that I have experienced personally, but I believe that God is a part of the very words that I write. I want to share my pain, my struggles, my heartbreak and my triumphs with you. I want you all to share in the challenges and even more, the Hope, that I am so sure of.
One last thing before I move on to something more fun. Please respect that I will not be writing about any of the details surrounding the breakup of my marriage, I am not here to seek justification or build a "team". I still care about Matt and have no desire to hurt him or make things more difficult for him. (turns out he just went through a divorce too. :))
Thank you all for loving on each of us and keep sending prayers upward as we navigate this new way of life.
Our New Home!

Ava and I are very cozy here and she is "excited to be living at our new house". I'll show you all the inside pics another time. Too much of a good thing can be overwhelming. :)
