I can't believe how long it's been since i've written. I need to make a regular habit of writing though because I thoroughly enjoy getting my thoughts out into the open.
Well, Paul and I have been married 4 weeks today and it has been the most wonderful 4 weeks of our lives. We've been so blessed with wonderful friends and family who helped us celebrate such a precious day on September 5th. The day flew by as we were enjoying being married and celebrating with friends! Honestly the best day of my life... i'm so blessed.
We moved back up to Scranton, PA right before we got married. Paul got offered a Management job at Panera Bread and so we felt the Lord telling us to move. On top of that, we both know people up here, my family is only 1 hour away, we're excited to get involved in a smaller church, and the cost of living is cheaper. On the sad side, we had to move farther away from all of Pauls family and we already miss them SO much, it's so hard! We know God has a purpose and a reason for everything...
So while Paul is gone all day at work, I get the privilege of working from home ... which in itself is a blessing, but it is also lonely. I used to work right across from Paul's brother Joel... which was amazing, my best friend in the office. But now I work from home from the same company. It's hard because we just moved, we're still trying to make friends, etc. But it's even harder for me because I have absolutely no interaction with anyone besides church. I have a few friends who still go to Baptist Bible College so I get together with them some, and I will be going to a few soccer games, which will be fun. The Lord has a reason for the silent and quiet times and I want to learn to embrace them. The quiet times is when I can learn and be still ... finding ways to minister to others instead of finding ways to help myself. But I do pray that God will not only bring others into my life for encouragement but also bring people into my life that I can encourage...which is much more satisfying!
I'm so thankful for my husband. We're very much enjoying getting to be together every night. And what a blessing it is to welcome him home every night from work! I love making meals for him and cleaning the house making it smell good for him to come home to. And I also love experimenting with cooking and baking. I haven't really gotten to do it before. Recently i've made banana bread, coffee cake, carmel corn, crock pot meals, pizza, cheese and fruit dip. It's so much fun for me!!
"The joy of the Lord is my strength!"
