A New Year, A New Post

It seems I've forgotten about this little space on the internet. A lot has happened since the last time I posted. We have been settled in our new, adorable, little, yellow house for 8 months now and have loved every minute making it our own. We still have many projects we'd like to do, but that's how home ownership goes, right? The projects never end! :-) I love it though. Kyle got a new job at Calvary Christian High School which is a ministry of Calvary Church. We both went to high school here, and it is the church where I grew up. He is the campus pastor for the high school, but also helps out with the high school student ministry at the church. He serves a bit of a dual role between the school and the church. As a result, Calvary has become our new church home and we have been very blessed by the community we have found here. We both have been given the opportunity to help out with leading worship on Sunday mornings as well. So that has been very special too!

A lot of wonderful things happened in 2014 for Kyle and I, but as I look back, I also feel like a big chunk of the year I was in a rut, spiritually and just in general. I often found myself complaining and just being negative. I've also felt unmotivated on many levels - like writing in this blog for instance. I am thankful that in 2015, I have a fresh start and chance to focus on the positive, to make the best out of the not so enjoyable things, to be creative and learn new things, and to refresh and renew my faith and walk with Jesus.

I am thankful for the life God has given me and a new year to make more wonderful memories,  my husband who I get to share life with, my job, my friends, and my family.
