Day to Day

Overwhelmed With Goodness

Have you ever had one of those days that from the moment you woke up you were just happy, I mean really happy, that overwhelming sort of happy?!  Today was one of those days for me.  Yesterday, was greatness, Ian and I got some much needed re-charge time just hanging out and dreaming about our future and apparently it left a mark on me.  From the moment I woke up things have just seemed lighter and brighter.  It has been a good day, even as I sit here writing this I have my precious little guy curled up on my chest sleeping.

I feel like today was almost the crescendo of the last little while for me, I just hope it doesn’t decrease in greatness from here.  The last little while has been incredibly overwhelming for me but in a good way.  The other day I found myself crying because I was so happy (those of you who know me, know how shocking that is) God has been showing me just how blessed I am, to be married to my best friend, to be a mommy to the sweetest baby and best of all just to be called a daughter of the King.  I am one that always looks to the future and dreams, I by no means think this is bad, but lately I have really been focusing on soaking up what I have.

While enjoying where I am at there is this excitement rising up in me.  I am stepping out more and more each day, first with starting this blog and maintaining it and now I find myself investing in MVision Photography in a new way, plus I have some other possible ventures up my sleeve.  All of this is stretching me in ways I never thought I would allow myself to be stretched but I see how God is using it to make me stronger, to refine and shape me.  Keep your eyes out for more things God is using to stretch me.

Lets be honest a lot of my overwhelming joy may be stemming from this looker . . .

    1. I know, for me too…but I know that you are where God has called you to be and that makes all seem right in the world.
