Much has happened over the past couple of years. Often times I've thought that I should sit down and write about all the amazing things God has been doing in my life, or all the lessons he's been teaching me along the way. But, I'm afraid my good intentions of writing always remained as simply good intentions. My blog got pushed to the back burner, that's for sure. But, if I had to choose between living life and writing about it, I'd certainly take living it!
Sometimes I wonder why life must be so overwhelming and incredibly busy. But, then I remember that it has a lot to do with choices I make, and the fact that I try to take advantage of as many opportunities as I can. Although it can be tiresome, it is certainly rewarding, especially when done for the glory of God. And although I often fail, that is the goal I'm striving for in life.
Considering I haven't written on here since November 2012 (believe me, I started many posts and never finished them!), I think it's about time I give an update on the past year and a half. After changing majors three semesters out from graduation, I finished all of my requirements for my B.S. in Accounting in December, and graduated with a 4.0!! Although, I don't actually participate in commencement until May.
Also, the even bigger news is that on December 29th I was asked the biggest question of my life, when Mickey asked if I would marry him! I said yes! So, we have been very busy the past two months planning a wedding! We will get married June 28th. You can find more details here: http://www.mywedding.com/mickeyandcatherine/
We feel so incredibly thankful for God's blessing in our lives and are greatly looking forward to this new season of our lives together. It's so wonderful to be seeking God together for where He wants to take us and use us next.
Even though I thought being out of college would lead me into a more peaceful season of life, I find myself working four jobs and attempting to keep my business going in hopes of expanding it further once some of these jobs end. I'm definitely stretched thin these days, and it feels like there isn't enough of me to go around. However, I am thrilled to be looking towards a season of being a wife (and one day a mother), and being able to learn further, explore, and embrace what it means to be a Proverbs 31 woman. God has blessed me with a lot of talent and ability, and I'm really praying about what He wants me to pour into, as I enter this new chapter of life.
For this reason, I'm considering transitioning to a new blog where I could share not only things about my life and what God is teaching me, but also practical skills, advice, and encouragement that I have as I embark on this journey of being a wife and trying to live a God-glorifying life. I usually feel like I don't have much to offer, yet people seem to say the contrary. So, instead of buying into the lies of the enemy, I know I should embrace the talents and wisdom God has imparted to me and share them with others. Only time will tell what God has in store for that! But, for now, I'm snowed in under piles of tax returns!;)
May the Lord bless you and keep you and may His face shine upon you!
