New Johnsonville Tennessee

We moved at the end of May into our new rental house in New Johnsonville TN. It has been fun unpacking and rearranging things into our three bedroom palace. Yes, I said palace. We now have so much space and E has her own room! I feel so thankful for our place and Z's new job.

The Lord has provided for us all along this journey. And oh has it been one! The last three years have been the best and most exciting/challenging years. They truly have been the best years of my life.

We recently celebrated our third wedding anniversary. It is amazing looking back over our lives as a couple. We have been through so much together already. These joys and sorrows have brought us closer than we ever though we could be. We only thought we loved each other when we said "I Do"! It is amazing how the Lord chooses to use struggles and trials, joys and happiness to bring us closer to one another and close to Himself. I can't even express to you how thankful I am even for the hardest things I have ever been through.

When we married we thought we would move to Memphis, have our first child within the first year, find a church, eventually buy a home and settle. Three years later we have been through four moves, lived at poverty level income for two years, lost a child to miscarriage, lived in an apartment infested with brown recluse spiders, and struggled with a thousand other things related to our previous hopes and expectations. Would we have chosen all of these things for ourselves? Nope. Would we be the people we are today if it weren't for these struggles? Definitely not!

Thank You Lord, for how You orchestrate our lives in such a way that brings You the most glory! What a privilege it is to serve in your ranks as a soldier in the Truth.

Anyhow, I sort of got off on a rabbit trail...

All this to say, we have moved :)
