Saturday Morning Beauty

Working PM (7p-7a) shifts is tough. I'm always tired. I rarely see my husband. I miss out on daytime festivities. However, it has a good handful of perks. I only work 3 days a week. I have the BEST co-workers I could ever ask for. I get an 8 day stretch off every month. It pretty much rocks!

 Another perk...God's beauty. This was a sunrise at our house one morning when I got home. Gorgeous! 

God of wonders beyond our galaxy, You are Holy. Lord of heaven and earth.

Where do we belong?

Where do I belong? A question everyone asks themselves from time to time. We all have that deep desire to feel wanted, appreciated, and loved. But...what makes us feel that way? Posessions? Family? Friends? Work? Kids? Our home? Church? School? 

 Brad and I have been extremely blessed. We both have careers that we love! Work isnt a chore but rather something we enjoy on a regular basis. We have been blessed with two fabulous Christian families. Our house is a welcoming home that is soon to be growing as we welcome a little one in May. With all that we have been blessed with, we can't help but be thankful for our relationship with our heavenly father.

 Having said that, we have felt "alone" for way too long. Why? Churchless. Possibly the worst feeling I remember. We have been church shopping for several months and I believe that has officially come to an end!!! We attended Fairway CRC in Jension, MI and loved it. Welcoming environment, friendly people, and a place where we feel can be called home. What a feeling! Belonging feels great. This has been a huge answer to prayer for us as we start our marriage.
