I had to take a look back at my last post, 200 days married, to see where life stopped at that moment. I think these sets of 100 days get more and more eventful, I'm catching on that that's just how life is.
To start, April 9th made 200 days and tomorrow, July 18th will make 300.
When I was last writing, it was right before I shared my testimony with the youth group. That moment of sharing went amazingly well, and I am so surprised by how God uses and pushes me to share the good news of being saved. The steps God has me going in are bright and promising.
In May I got a new job, a big girl job I like to call it haha! It's at Keller Williams, and it's been really great move in my life. It was so very hard to leave HEB, but it was time. Being in an office environment vs. retail is incredibly different (no duh, right?), but again, I feel God pushing me in a new challenging time of my life and making me get out of my comfort zone because that is where we grow.
I got accepted into SAGU for Counseling Ministries, and will start back at school in the fall. After a year off I'm very nervous, but ready, to go back to school. I love school and I love even more that I finally found the major I'm called into being.
Walker and I bought a house. Yep. We bought a freaking house!! How amazing is that? It was such a stressful time, but it all worked out and we are still in the process of moving. As of today it's been a week since we closed. This is probably the most surreal thing that has happened in the past 100 days. We bought a house that has only ever been in my dad's family. They were the first to live in it in 1970, and we are now the 3rd generation to own it. Buying a home had a ridiculous amount of ups and downs, but man this makes all the lows more than worth it. Also, along with the house we adopted another sweet puppy named Ladybird. Still adjusting to her in the house, but gosh she's so good!
I went through, no..I'm still going through, a really hard realization for myself. I crave relationships with people. I love to get to know people, to let them know they're important, and to love on others. But sometimes/all the time I do that and I put them in front of my time with God. This entire year has been incredibly painful for me concerning friendships. Let down after let down, whether it was big things with the wedding, or just being left out of outings, it has been a very challenging season. But as this year of hurt comes to a full circle, I am beginning to see the purpose. It is not healthy to put any relationship with someone before my friendship with the Lord. I may have lost some, but I am gaining closeness to Jesus, and I know there are better things ahead.
Walker has been amazing these past 100 days. Seriously, he's been wonderful. Whether it's been surprising me with dates or with unpacked boxes, he's been the very best. It's amazing to hear him talk about God and share his faith with others, Walker a year ago wouldn't of done that.
There's going to be so much going on in this next part of my life, these next 100 days. Walker and I will have our 1 year anniversary (what?!) and I'll be starting school. Beauty is on the horizon. I'm holding Jer 29:11 close as the plans for my life continue to unfold.
