Uplifted

This past weekend was very encouraging. 

Saturday I attended a Progressive Dinner planned by the woman at our church One Love.  During a Progressive Dinner, you attend a different house for each part of the meal; appetizers at one house, main course at another, and dessert at another. I would love to plan one at our house! It was a great way to meet woman and hear their stories and where they are in their life. It was encouraging because you hear how these ladies found the Lord, how they started coming to this church and what is going on in their lives. 
One woman said she has been clean of smoking for 7 weeks and needs prayer for her husband who does not know Jesus, another has lived here for 6 months as she is house sitting for a friend who is away on deployment, and then another couple who have been called to the church who moved here in May. 

Then on Sunday, I had two woman meet me at church, both whose husbands are on the Jarvis as well!  It was really fun having two woman to sit by :) I left church feeling so filled, so excited because the Lord has SO MUCH MORE PLANNED for these 3 months...More than any of us could have ever asked or thought! It is the Character of God to do so! He is just putting all sorts of woman in my path. Over a span of 3 days, I have met four woman who are in need of encouragement as their husbands are gone on leave with the Navy or the Coast Guard. How crazy that God would choose to use little me, married two and a half months, to encourage woman who have been married for 4, 5, 9 years and have kids! So incredible, so humbling... 
In addition to this, I feel so Uplifted in prayer! I can just feel the prayers of others on my and Nick's behalf - I am indebted to you prayer warriors!

Thank you Lord for Unity.

    this time is so purposeful Becky,
    The Lord is being so generous with HIMSELF as we are all seperated by distance at this time, but we are all being strengthened in intimacy with the Lord as a result
    I miss you and n and m so much but smile when i think of the day of our reunion!
    Sending you an extra big hug and love today.
    I love you,
    love j

    Becky,
    How awesome of Papa God to give you these gifts.
    I am not surprised that you are an encouragement to those women. I can tell by what you write that you have a beautiful heart that desires to bear Him.

    Hugs from Georgia,
    Julie

Christmas in July

All of our belongings arrived this morning! We have it all! Big truck, three huge crates and a team of 5 showed up on the doorstep at 8:45 AM this morning. They must have thought I was weird - as each item came through the door I got the hugest smile! Like "oh, there is the table from the Hargroves...and there are the couches...boxes of wedding gifts I have not opened yet!..." you get the idea. Here is our bedroom before... and after! Living room before... And after! Kitchen before... And After!! The movers only took one hour to get it all into the house. The first thing I did when they left? Sat down on the couch in the living room. I just remember sitting on them at the parent-Dellar's house and all the fun times I have had at their house; the BBQs, the prayer nights and Bible studies, cuddling up on them when Nick was gone (in Kona, Cape May, Virginia, Honolulu). And NOW I am sitting on them in our house here! I just couldn't believe it. THEN the thought entered my...

The Best Things In Life Are For Free

Well not completely free, actually this chair was $2.00 at a garage sale down the street, and the paint was $10.00 at the Home Depot. the cool life ring we found in the dumpster, and its from a Panamanian Ship, so really it is the only thing that was for free. so all together I guess $12.00 is not so bad for a little beach flare around the house. The drift wood and coral were free! Here you go Mom just like I promised, my newly reorganized closet. And for all you male bloggers out there (So you don't pull my Man-card) My Alpha Black -Dual weaver tactical rail mounts with fore grip. -Raised scope rail mounting system. -Nc Star Red dot sight. -And a Black Hawk 1pt tactical sling.
