I've never really looked back over a year like I have the past year. God has taught me SO much over this past year through so many different ways that I would have never expected. Spencer and I learned how to fully depend on each other and on God through tough situations and also through so many joys in our life. I learned how much God truly loves us and how much He wants our whole hearts. I have been amazed at how God has provided for our family and how He has brought us all closer together. I am trying to live less selfishly and more on how I can serve God in each situation. Spencer and I's faith has been tested in so many different ways and I truly feel we have both grown stronger in our walk with the Lord. I know that if we can get through a year like we've had, we can get through anything! I still think back at all that has happened this past year...only God could have planned this for His divine purpose.
So, here's a big, fat, YEEHAW YAY!!! For being back in Texas! :)
Emily-
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe it has been a year either! We all miss you so much. I am in awe of how you have handled your life the past year. Many people my age could benefit from your wisdom and your infinite love of our Lord. I cannot wait for your visit to Florida to see both you and Spencer. Praying that 2011 brings you blessings in abundance because no one deserves it more than you two. Love ya, my sweet Texas friend- Peg

ReplyDeleteEmily- You're continually in my prayers when I think of you! You are truly an inspiration and God is working through you. Thanks for being so open with your life. Hope to see you soon in Waco sometime!
ReplyDeleteI'm personally soo happy you moved back! So thankful that our lives have re-intersected!! Love spending time with you and so thankful for what the Lord has taught me through you!
ReplyDeleteEm- This post was so encouraging to me. It was good of you to remind us to look back and see how no matter what we go through in life that God is always there and is always faithful. You guys are a great example of letting God use your story to bring glory to him. You will never know how many people's lives that you have touched, encouraged and ultimately brought closer to Jesus ( including me). I"m also glad you guys moved back to Texas too! There's no place like home!
