So, I pretty much feel like the lamest blogger ever because I have not blogged at all lately, and that's such a shame because the past few months have been the craziest ride of my life and I have not updated the blogging world. So here's my admission of lameness: I'm sorry.
Anyways, here's an update...I GOT ENGAGED on Valentines day to the love of my life, Benjy Satorius...
So that's the biggest update to share, following the fact that I moved in with him and his family all the way down to flatland Illinois! I quit my job, found a new one, and moved me and all my belongings all the way down to a small town called Minooka, Illinois. It was scary, and at times lonely, but in retrospect I am seeing it to be one of the best decisions in my life. Moving down by him and leaving everything I know and love behind has been one of the biggest displays of my initial submission to him, and although it has not been an easy move to make, I know in my heart that it was the right one.
The past few months have taken more strength, more courage, more submission, more self sacrifice and more patience than I have ever had to muster up in all my life. But that is the beauty of the grace of God, where I decrease, He increases, and where I have no strength, He provides.
"My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness..."
I have learned more in the past few months, and been stretched more than any other time in my life. I can constantly feel the presence of the Lord as He molds me, changes me, and constantly reminds me to die to myself and honor Him in my relationship with Benjy. This relationship has been a constant picture of how I must honor and submit to Christ through honoring and submitting to my future husband. My eyes have been so opened to the beauty of a marriage relationship and how the Lord designed marriage to bring Him glory. It's the most beautiful thing...
So there's the update, I am alive, and I promise to blog more in the time ahead. The next few months are going to be crazy with wedding planning but I will try not to disappear from the blogging world! :)
