Such a time as this...

Leaving 2010 with more love for my husband than ever, great humility in all the trials God has brought us through together, a better understanding of the man I married for his character proved strong through the most difficulty, loyalty and love proven in friendships, a job that not only changed my world but is giving me a new profound way of raising my children, glimpses of eternity that strike the deepest cord in a being to long for that which he was made for in a greater way. Forgiveness on a whole new level... For those who forgive understand Gods love for them so much that the hurt another person caused them would not effect them, for they understand the forgiveness paid for them. A heart longing to be close to my family yet trusting Gods place for me and knowing He knows that desire and is near in times that are difficult. Accepting that He called me for something greater than myself, even if that means abandoning things not as worthy and sacrificing worldliness for someone who paid it all for me to h a v e life, life more abundantly. Living for what you were created for is not an easy path, it's finding He who is greater and letting Him carry you to places some long for but never take up their cross to follow. Stepping out of the normal perspectives and following One that is beyond normal thinking and living. It is know your identity, never wavering in it and knowing how the Almighty sees you, feels about you and desires all of you. He called me Mine, and i am His beloved... I was made for such a time as this...
