Dr. Phil

Last night Josh worked overtime so he didn't get home until 2 am. I had an awful time sleeping and i sure felt the effects today. After lunch i decided to stay home nap and rest."  In a world of talk only one person will listen and that is Dr. Phil" This is what I hear when I wake up. Instantly in my head I'm like no way you can't tell me that Dr.Phil (who is smart but i don't agree with alot) is the only person who listens to us, troubled people.  The way that they put it just troubled me. Yes i do believe he helps alot of people, but in no way shape or form is he the only one who listens.
My God not only listens but he never leaves me and he has the best advice that anyone could ever give.  I just want anyone who doesn't think there isn't anyone out there listening or cares that there is. His name is Jesus Christ and all you have to do is talk to him and ask him for his help and for his love to come into your life.  Jesus Christ can give you what Dr.Phil and ANYONE else can't give you.

free and flying

Friday Josh had off work and we had the opportunity to spend the day with some of his family in Holmes county. Oh what a beautiful place it is there. We ate homemade Amish pie and lots of cheese. Yummy! Saw lots of cows and goats and horses. The farm life was amazing and it is just cool to see.  So After a long fun day of exploring we went back to his Aunts Lake house. it is in the woods and so beautiful. there was so much wildlife and nature. They decided we should take a ride in the Miada and tour the place. Now for those of you who do not know a Miada is a car..I of course did not know this. it is a two seater but I got to sit on the back:) This car's top was down and the sun was shiny and it was a nice cool evening.
 We went down death hill ( sounds scary) which was a very steep hill. We are going down and put my arms out and I pretended like I  was flying. we all did this as kids I am sure and yes I still do things like this. it was so fun and freeing. I could not hear the conversation going on between the others in the car it was just me and my hair blowing in the wind as free as could be.
As i was having the time of my life i thought if only life could be as freeing as this. But really it is..you see if we block out all the things in our head sometimes and just spend time with God it is freeing. Just as i couldn't tell what the conversation was in the car with the others God wants us to do that in life. He wants us to make it so it is just us and him, and to feel free..the kind of freedom where we know without a doubt we can do anything. We can face any problem and take down any evil villain(fleas in our small apartment) I loved that feeling..the wind blowing, the nature and feeling like a child again. lets go back and be childlike and let God free us. :)

August

This month plays a significant role in our life. Last year at this time Josh was about to propose to me. So crazy that a year has gone by and now we are married. So many things have happend in the past year. So many things that we can thank God for. In the past year we have both had steady jobs that were able to pay for our wedding and  are able to pay for bills. We are married and live a good life. Next August we will look back and think again on all the changes and how far we have come.
 Everyday is a new day.  A new day to change and to look at all the changes around you and how far we have come. No matter how hard life is I will thank God for where we are and where he is taking us. August is a significant month not only because we got engaged, but Josh got his first gift from me. He got a new pair of shoes for his birthday. Last year we sat in this same apartment as he opened that gift, and now sitting in here in this office that used to be a spare bedroom and thinking of Josh spending his upcoming birthday at whirlpool, I thank God for his Job and for how far we have come. The Lord truly has blessed me with a wonderful husband, and he has blessed us with love.
