Kinda just remembered that I have a blog and that I haven't updated it since November 2010! oops!
Thankfully, the biggest change in our lives lately has been my hair! Just chopped over 9inches off (donated it to Beautiful Lengths) and I have TONS of layers! (Fun to play with)! Jordan prefers my long hair, BUT HE LOVES ME and deals with my need to go crazy sometimes and just CUT IT OFF! It is safe to say that I am ready for spring and so is my hair!
Jordan is still working SUPER HARD on this Master's Degree. I am amazed at how well he has managed his time this semester (his heaviest class load to date)... he writes many papers, schedules tons of group meetings, lifts weight, and still finds time to hang out with his wife and make her feel special and loved! (I am super blessed).
Jordan will be done with his Masters Degree of Accounting at the end of July.... so that means we are about to make some BIG decisions... excited to see what God has in store for both of us!
I think one of the things I am MOST excited about is having a bigger... KITCHEN!!! Jordan and I are STILL in the same apartment we have been since we were first married (over three years now)! It is "aged" campus housing at NDSU, one bedroom, cinder-block walls, all tile floor, half size stove/oven and fridge/freezer. One my latest hobbies has been COOKING/BAKING and trying new food. However, it is VERY challenging in our tiny little kitchen... ready for something BIGGER or at least FULL-SIZED!
But, I am going to miss our apartment... it is home and we have worked REALLY hard with making it a homey place. Lots of firsts in that tiny place. It is going to be a sad day when we leave...
Your prayers would be much appreciated as we transition from this period in our life to something new, scary, and exciting. I am so thankful that God has and will continue to provide for our needs and lead us to the places He wants us to be. What a great God we serve that we can trust in Him to care for us... through all of our lives and through whatever comes...
This weekend, I am heading to Minot for the Annual Women's Retreat. I am so excited for the Christ focused fellowship with all these women! Not only that, but I have been asked to sing an incredible song called "Stronger." Just want to share the lyrics with you... Blessings and I hope to be better about blogging in the future (but no promises!)
"Stronger" Artist: Mandisa
Hey, heard you were up all night
Thinking about how your world ain't right
And you wonder if things will ever get better
And you're asking why is it always raining on you
When all you want is just a little good news
Instead of standing there stuck out in the weather
Oh, don't hang your head
It's gonna end
God's right there
Even if it's hard to see Him
I promise you that He still cares
When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain't gonna last forever
And things can only get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger
Gonna make you stronger, stronger, stronger
Believe me, this is gonna make you ...
Try and do the best you can
Hold on and let Him hold your hand
And go on and fall into the arms of Jesus
Oh, lift your head it's gonna end
God's right there
Even when you just can't feel Him
I promise you that He still cares
When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain't gonna last forever
And things can only get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger
Gonna make you stronger, stronger
'Cause if He started this work in your life
He will be faithful to complete it
If only you believe it
He knows how much it hurts
And I'm sure that He's gonna help you get through this
When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain't gonna last forever
And things can only get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger
Gonna make you stronger, stronger
