thoughts on life

Before I even did this blog I wrote this poem entitled LIFE
thought it neat that my first post was named life, so I decided to post my poem for all to see
LIFE
You clothe me in love
I delight in your embrace

You graciously lead me through dark and light
I welcome your Holy Spirit thankfully

Forgiving is your way
Though I am worthy of nothing

Strong and powerful in might
Weak I am alone

Drawing me near with your whispers
Curiously I search after you

Dancing in your courtyards together
Joy and hope are radiated

You battle the evil one and triumph
Always holding my best interests at heart

Hand in hand we walk
Through the seasons I learn

As You prune and change
I will grow

You are my Father, Savior, King, Lover, and Friend
How grateful I am to have been chosen by You.

Hey everyone! This is my first post! Exciting stuff!

Life with amyrose is quite interesting these days. As some of you know, I just moved to Dallas, Texas about 2 months ago from Mobile, Alabama. I moved to help my sister and brother-in-law out by becoming their nanny! Sara, my niece, is one years old and such a joy to be with!Life is a great adventure hanging with Sara all day. We have loads of fun playing outside and going on walks together. I'm so blessed to be a part of her life.

But not only is life with Sara an adventure, but moving and becoming a part of a whole new community is an adventure. Thankfully it has been so good! The community here at our church, MercyPlace, is incredible, welcoming, and uplifting. I was nervous coming into it, but everyone welcomed me in made me feel cared for and loved. Being a part of this community is challenging, in a good way, always encouraging me to go deeper. Jesus has met me so dearly in this time here. He has revealed his love for me as well as his acceptance. As He likes to say it, we are making a love song together! It is so vital for us as Christians to know and feel the love of Christ, and well for me, I don't know how I lived this long without feeling his love so incredibly as I do now! It is like those stories you hear about people being so deeply in love with Jesus that when they wake up they immediately search for Him and HAVE to meet with him. I am experiencing this desire, and I am thankful for it.
Blogging is new to me, we'll see where it takes me!
