"I have no idea what the future holds. I have no idea where God will send me or if those places will seem different to many of you. But this I do know: if I do not tell Him wholeheartedly that I am willing to go anywhere He leads and serve anyone He says, He is going to do His good pleasure anyway. And without me." -Beth Moore

As we enter into the new year, I am reflecting on this thought presented by Beth Moore. As we are still without the Army's orders on where we are to go next, Robby and I are in a season of waiting. Not knowing where we will be this year or when we will be there makes it a bit difficult to create goals and expectations for 2017. But I can rest in the fact that God is good and His plan is, too. 

This year, my resolutions are a little less concrete and a little more abstract. 2017 will be the year that I pursue love and eucharisteo in every area of my life - my relationships, my communication, my marriage - and that can be done no matter where I am or what I am doing. I have no idea what the Lord's plan is, and that can be frustrating, but I am purposing in my heart to be willing and obedient to where He leads. 

I pray that this year I will continue to grow, continue to learn, continue to adventure, and continue to pursue a healthy, happy, whole life. My resolution to actively practice love and eucharisteo in the new year ought to aid in the continuing effort to build on top of what I've achieved in 2016. 

What about you? What are your goals and resolutions for the new year? I'd love if we could be praying over each other's as we embark on this new year together!

August reminds me of school. Growing up, this is the month that always marked the beginning of a new school year. August holds memories of buying school supplies, meeting the teacher, porch parties, picking out an outfit for the first day of classes

Today, I’m meditating on my word for this year: balance. There is so much newness, so much uncertainty, so much sweetness, so many obstacles... so much to take in. I’m learning over and over again how important it is for me to seek balan
