Lesson Learned...

So you think to yourself, oh yes, I trust God. I know He has a plan for me and is taking care of me etc etc right? Ya me too. Really thought I was getting a good grasp on it lately, given that we've made the decision to move to another state because we feel that God is leading us there for something. That's a scary decision for me! Anyway, about that later.
So today, trying to make arrangements and everything that must be done for this move and it just fell apart. Things we're going right, I got some info that I had to deal with and I'm just so stressed that I got overwhelmed and started getting mad at God. How silly is that?! I mean, it wasn't THAT big of a deal. So we don't get the exact apartment we wanted, big whoop. But no, I get mad. I cry. I yell. And then it dawns on me, where is the TRUST I've been thinking about. One little hiccup and all of a sudden God's not taking care of me? He's not helping me?! I mean, seriously Kristen, you know better than this! *sigh* Guess I haven't learned my lesson quite yet eh? So I calmed down, apologized to God, and started working again and quickly found resolutions to my problem. Everything should be fine and the lesson I've once again is how faithful is my God. Even the littlest of problems are so important to Him and all He wants is for me to include Him in everything. Now I know He doesn't mind a little yelling and whining occasionally, but I just picture Him shaking His head and going 'Oh Kristen, I thought we'd figured this out by now'

*sigh*

Life......

So life is getting interesting. My husband and I are finally getting ready to embark on our first adventure as newlyweds! (more details to come later!)

Interesting how God speaks and guides us isn't it? He does huge things and such tiny tiny things to lead us where He wants us. I'm so glad that I don't ever have to be in the driver's seat for life, because I would have wrecked so many times! Crazy how controlling us humans can be, but the second we let go and let God take the reigns, life gets really fun and exciting! Had I had my way, I would have been in the Coast Guard, married at least 37 times, probably had as many children, most likely be regretting a few tattoos, you get the picture. Various decisions and choices that I tried to do, but God led me another route. Man He has saved my rear on more occasions than I can count.
Most recently, I just look at the man that He had been saving for me all this time. Like I said, I would have settled so many times, but my God is so good, he protected me from myself time after time. THANK YOU GOD! Because the best is worth waiting for. Obviously our marriage isn't perfect, but it sure blesses me every day. All this rambling to say, waiting is a good thing, even if it's hard.

Romantic or gag me?

Is it sweet and romantic, or over the top, that my amazing husband of 8 months took the time to carve little messages in some of my apple slices this morning? I thought it was positively adorable but sometimes I wonder if the 'gag factor' is a bit much with the two of us :)
