Life's Changes

I've always wanted to blog, but the fear of where to begin kept me from starting. So many changes have happened/ are happening in 2013 that I figured what more perfect opportunity to begin that May 23, 2013.

So here's a little about my family and I. 

I'm a 24 year old wife to an amazing God-fearing husband who shows more encouragement and support than I could ever even imagine! Married April 21, 2012. On January 8th of this year we became first-time parents to a beautiful brown haired (that is lightening up everyday) blue-eyed girl! God has truly bless us with a sweet bundle of joy who is constantly bringing us smiles. 

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of heavenly lights, who does not change life shifting shadows." 
-James 1:17

I always said that I wouldn't be one of those big bragging moms, but then I became a mother and want to share everything that happens involving our little girl. 

My husband and I had both chosen careers in the medical field, that's actually how we met. It's one of those cute little love stories that every little girl dreams of having. 

Until recently I just left my 4 year job at a hospital, to strive to come the Proverbs 31 wife and mother that God has chosen me to be. Leaving my job was definitely bittersweet, I worked with some of the best co-workers who I could always count on, yet I was super excited to be home every night with my family. (Eek I worked night shift.)

"Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."
-Proverbs 31:30

While the medical field has been so wonderful, and full of the sweetest, funniest, nastiest stories possible I've chosen to start a career learning how to work for my father's construction company. 
No worries I'll be an office woman no building for me

So thankful for my family, friends, and previous co-workers support in these changes.

"Therefore, encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." 
-1 Thessalonians 5:11

While on this new journey as a new mother, a fairly new wife, a new employee, I am hoping to fall into a much deeper relationship with My Eternal Father, and become the woman He has destined me to become. 

"Brothers and Sisters, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do is forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize to which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
-Philippians 3:13-14
