What I'm Loving Wednesday - Weather, Happy Place and Family

I'm loving the beautiful weather here in Washington the past couple of days. It's normally rainy (which I DO LOVE) but the sunshine and spring atmosphere has been amazing as well!!!!

I'm loving that I have a supportive husband who took me to find my happy place this past weekend. My heart was hurting due to the death of a family member. We cross the St. John's bridge at least two times a week, so he decided to take me to explore the area. One of his friends from work told him there was a little park under the bridge. Indeed there was and indeed it was beautiful and indeed.....I found my happy place.

What I'm loving the most is God's amazing grace and peace. We lost Steve Reese this past weekend and it broke my heart. However, I know Steve is finally resting and in peace and that brings me joy. Thank You Jesus for loving him!

What I'm Loving Wednesday ~ Life is FUN and God is GOOD!!!!!

"You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock."  Isaiah 26:3-4

I am loving all that God is doing in my life right now.  He is working so much in my heart.  I am so happy with everything right now!  I am so happy with the joy He has placed in my life and I'm so happy with the wonderful blessing of His love that He gives me every day!!!!!  He's so amazing!

I am loving that I was able to spend the evening with my cousins Regina and Sarah.  Regina made us fajitas...they were aMaZiNg!!!!!!

I am loving being able to see my Mom everyday if I want to.  Moving back home is by far the greatest decision I have made in a long time!  I asked God what He wanted me to do, He told me, I obeyed, and He is blessing me so much in every area of my life!!!!!!  He's so wonderful!

I am loving the rain today!!!!!  I was able to sport my rain boots and splash around in them!  Yes, I really did splash around outside in the puddles....fun fun fun!!!! Psalm 118:24 - "This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."

What I'm Loving Wednesday ~ New Season

I am loving that I was able to do a half day at work today and had some amazing friends/co-workers to help make it a fun and happy day!

I am loving that my relationship with God has become so much stronger in the last couple of weeks!  I have seen more and more of Him than I ever have!  Totally in love with Him!

I am loving that Coming To America is on TV....haha love this movie!

I am loving that I am going into a new season of life.  The transition has hurt my heart but I know God has wonderful things planned for me!

I am loving that I have so many wonderful things to look forward to!  I can't wait to see what God has planned for me! 

I am loving that the plans to move closer to family are under way.....so exciting! I'm looking at Oklahoma with the sister or Colorado or Texas with my other family!  I realized after the surgery that I need to be closer to family.  Going through this surgery with out family was really hard.  I am so blessed to have amazing friends here because with out my amazing friends, it would have been DIIFICULT but it was definately more challenging with out family.  So, I have a feeling next year will be AMAZING!!!!! I'm looking forward to 2013!  Good things can only happen from here, right!?  :)

I am loving the new Blessings And Seasons ministry is coming together and I'm so excited to launch!

Speaking of Blessings And Seasons, I am even more excited about more and more writing.  Spoke to my publisher today and I'm so super excited about getting this book together!  God is so good! :)  Still have a lot to work on but the starting steps are what gets it going, so I'm excited about that! 

I am loving that CHRISTMAS is right around the corner!  I just love the holidays and Christmas music!

Most of all I am loving counting all of my blessings.  It seems like my emotions have been all over the place the last few days (p.s. my doctor warned me about this because of all that my hormones are going through right now) BUT I do realize that a lot of this has been from a dear relationship to me ending.  I haven't talked much about it because I have still been in a state of shock and confusion and I guess I haven't really known what to say.  This surgery and the loss of a relationship with somebody dear to me have both had me up and down lately.  However, I'm not one who stays under very long.  I'm a strong girl.  I have been through a lot in life and I have made lots of mistakes of my own over the years, yet I continue to keep growing closer to God and growing as a woman.  I'm not perfect by any means but I have a big heart and a love for life that will only keep growing.  When I love, I love strong and passionate and nothing will ever stop me from doing that!  I have so much to be thankful for and one of the greatest things that I am thankful for is my ability to keep growing and learning more about myself.  I desire to fix things about myself that are broken and I hope that never changes.  I'm a jewel and a treasure and my positive qualities will always out weight my negative ones....period!  Life isn't easy but it sure is AmAzInG and I am SO excited about my future!  I know GOD has amazing things in store for me!!!!!  Lovin' life and all that God has done for me!  What has He done for YOU lately? :)  Count your blessings!
