Great things in store!!

I'm so excited about what all is ahead...
1. I go to New Mexico for a mini vacation!!
2. Isabelle gets to stay with us one night and we love having her!!
3. Dave Ramsey is coming to our church!!
I love Dave but Trav doesn't! He said that if it wasn't for Dave he would have a new guitar! LOL we always joke about W.W.D.D "What would Dave do?"
4. We are taking our first real vacation ever to Florida for almost a full week in June!!
5. I have engagement pictures coming up!! Woo Hoo ( Winter is so slow)
God is so good and faithful and everyday we get reminders of that! Yesterday for me it was the sunset... it was pink, purple, blue, and green!! WOW what an awesome God we serve!!!

I'm starting a search for what God wants out of me as a follower, wife, daughter, sister, and friend. With that being said...
He has burdened me in such a way that I'm losing sleep. What has brought me to this point is that as a christian I am to live above reproach and up to this time I have done enough to get by! I realized in my bible study last night that God has justified me... that part is done! I'm now and forever will be in the stage of purification a constant testing and growing period as a believer. I'm sharing this because I believe so many of us never get past the point of being justified freely and live as if we can earn it! Not going to happen...

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,...
Romans 3:23-24

Not to say God forgives so go on do whatever... It's a matter of the heart and you won't get anywhere without having a heart that is burdened with the things of God. I'm not speaking from a perfect christian life and that's is why I'm sharing because why not you may have some great insight and share the things that God has shown you through your journey. I do know God wants us chase after Him and desire a true relationship with Him. I can't imagine how my marriage would be if I spoke with Trav the way and amount I speak to God. Quite frankly it would be a marriage with no real love or even a real relationship at all! I learn so much about who God is through the different challenges that He places in my path. It is so easy to get discontent with where I am in life but thanks to my mom I'll never be able to do it without hearing these words...

Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:
Philippians 4:11

Please pray for me as God reveals the next stage of purification!
