Man of Sorrows...

...or woman of sorrows. I am starting into a season I have been putting off for many years. One I know will have many sorrows and much loss to grieve. But as I enter this season I am trying to choose to see it as designed by God's own hand. To grow my trust and reliance on Him. To mature me in many areas of my life and walk. To take the fractures and pull them into one daughter of God. My prayer is that I will choose to walk through the sorrow and come out stronger and more trusting of my Saviour and most of all more in love with Him. I want to not be defined by the events and the sorrow they will bring but defined by how I handled dealing with them and as a child of God who trusted Him despite my circumstance and allowed Him to work His healing in me.

Grwoing Up

God is so gracious. As most of you now I have never been completely on my own. That does not mean I have not paid my own rent and bills and so on, but that I have never been in a solo living situation. SO sufficed to say that when the family I live with goes on vacations I don't handle it well. I get anxious and worried and make the wrong choices because of my emotions. I am often led by those pesky things. But buy God's grace He has grown my trust and skills that when the family went away this weekend, in spite of the anxiety and emotions I made good productive choices. I let the truth not my emotions lead me. Praise God for His goodness.

Introducing Simeon Creed Anderson

Ok first off again for not keeping up with my blogging. Still working out some kinks with my computer. Now with that said I would like to introduce my new nephew. He was born the end of May to my brother Jon and his wife Rachel. They named him Simeon Creed, but we are going to call him creed. He very adorable and a blessing from God. The pregnancy really has helped my sister-in-law through the grieving process of loosing my nephew Knox last year. So now for what you have all been waiting for pictures:

So cute (they are going to call him Creed)

The Whole Family: Jon, Emma, Rachel, Creed, Lizzy, Jack, & Anne Michal

That is one beautiful family. Not just on the out side but also on the inside. How they have allowed God to carry them through a hard season. And trust Him enough to enjoy this new one.
