i seem to have forgotten about my goal for this month. my mind has been elsewhere. now here we are half way through March and i have yet to pick a new hobby. unless coloring with my little one is considered a hobby. i was thinking something along the lines of scrap booking or running, but my scrap booking stuff is packed away in storage and to be honest, i don't really want to run. so, now i must come up with a new hobby by the end of the month, which leaves me 8 days. hmmm. i'll get back to y'all on that one.

i recently found a verse that made me smile. "Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. 'The Lord is my portion,' says my soul, 'Therefore I hope in Him.' The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him." Lamentations 3:22-25

1 John 5:14

and just like that, we have moved back to Katy. Yep. I have to say i couldn't be happier about this decision. mainly because this is totally God led, which means there are amazing things in store for us with this move. my hubby has a new job, one that has lots of promise. he calls it, "a big boy job". i like that. with a big boy job comes big boy responsibilities. not to mention he is actually excited about this job, which is a total God thing as well. i'm looking forward to seeing what the Lord has in store for my hubby. i also like the amount of time he gets to spend with us. this is something we haven't had much of in the past, so i'm very thankful for the hours of family time we are able to share. pretty soon we will be looking for a house, which amazes me. i never would have thought we'd be in a position to be looking for a house this soon, but we've put it in God's hands and we are excited to see where He plants us. things are going really good. God is great! it's amazing how He can take all the bad and turn it into good. it's amazing how the minute you allow yourself to put everything in His hands, all the worry, all the frustration, all the stress, all the hurt, everything, you just give it all to Him, you feel this peace. amongst the chaos that's surrounding you, there is just this feeling of peace inside. the feeling that everything is going to work out exactly the way it is meant to, and that you will find happiness. i highly encourage trying this. it's amazing what the Lord can do!

Romans 5:1-4
"therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope."
