Adventure

One would think that traveling far away from home would be hard for an American used to all the modern conveniences. Here in the US we are very privileged to have available electricity, municipal water systems that clean and pump our own water, also stores that offer fresh, refrigerated, and frozen foods. Western countries are blessed. Since marriage I have traveled way more than I used to. More often than not it's a different state though I have gone to Canada, with my hubby I have traveled to Illinois, through Iowa, Arkansas, Louisiana and Alabama, Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York, Arizona and even Texas. Sometimes we travel by plane, sometimes by train, sometimes by car. Now we have been on our longest travel yet. It's been fun and sweet and I have loved a lot of it. And I am 8 days out from leaving. I'm going to miss this place and them very much. When I was younger and I went to Guatemala I felt so lost when I came home as if I have been changed. This world is not my home and I'm looking for an everlasting country the place where God's glory dwells. In the meanwhile I am a pilgrim on my way. 

Time Passing By

The older I get the more it seems that time goes by a whole lot quicker. I am 41 now and I started this blog when I was in my twenties. Since then I have attended different churches. Went from single to married, one nephew to two nephews and two nieces. God is faithful even in my weakness. Marriage is hard even with the best of partners.  Our marriage is sweet to the point that it still feels like we are still on our honeymoon. I love my husband very much, he is a gift from the Lord to me. I wish I were a better wife. 

God is good.

The Difference between Past and Present

When I was younger I would have a wanderlust and would seek to go far away. God has been merciful to allow me different opportunities to go to different countries. Now with my husband I have a partner to travel the world with. In my single days it was different I could put the time in I would do what I want Hawaii was a picture of this I hiked so much went to beaches, saw waterfulls, went to the Dole Plantation. I had just met my now husband 2 weeks before and he video called me a lot on my trip. With my husband we have gone on a lot of trips, to Arizona, Canada, Texas, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri, and we have future trips in the works. We do pray for children. I hope we do. I am also seeking to live and eat more healthy. We prioritize our time with the Lord.  God knew what he was doing. I am content with my life even with trials and tribulations. Marriage is such a blessing. As I am here almost 2 in the morning thinking about the differences between my life when I was single and my life now I thank God for the gifts He has provided.
