2009 - 73 blogs...
2010 - 20 blogs...
As life gets busier... well... some things get put on the backburner... like blogging.
The last year of my life has been the fastest and busiest yet. As I look back, everything just kind of blurs together...
A lot happened in 2010, good and bad, but I love how I can see God in and through each and every day of it.
God grew me as a woman, a mom and a wife.
He challenged me to seek Him with everything during the dry, desert times and was so faithfully there during the times when I cried out to Him.
January 2010 started with the birth of my second son, Landon, a boy that has been just a huge blessing in my life this last year. He is perfect, content, happy, always smiling, hardly ever fussy and he is exactly what God knew I could handle after chasing my wild and crazy Tyler for 2 years.
In 2010 I wish that I would have journaled more, blogged more, documented more... I wish I knew the exact dates of when Landon started smiling, laughing, crawling, like I did with Tyler... In 2011 I want to do these things, not because I feel like I have to or that I should and not just when He's doing something big in my life (like getting shingles or being attacked be bees) but I want I document more of my God and my journey with Him whether it's in my journal, on blogger, on the pages of my Bible... just somewhere! I'm not a natural writer by any means... I absolutely hated and struggled with English classes throughout high school and college... but I don't want that to stop me... Those times when I have journaled I absolutely love looking back on what I've written later on, seeing where I was in my walk or how faithful God was.. it's awesome and I want to do it more.
2010 was, as 2011 continues to be, an interesting time for Chad's work, to say the least... He is on the global team for his company, entailing that he travels... out of the country... more often than I would like. It started by going to Canada when Landon was 2 weeks old, then again at 3 months old, followed by a trip to Greece a few months later, then another Canada trip after that... Now he's preparing to go to Cambodia. We are trusting that this is all part of our God's plan. I am trying not to worry... not to stress about every detail that all of this consists of... This has been a challenge for me on a daily basis as I would love for him to have just a regular 8-5, local job, or better yet, go back to working for himself!, and not have to plan for these crazy times when he's halfway across the world... but I am trying with all that I am to be positive, optimistic, grateful, thankful, content and at peace to follow His leading and His will for our family.
I want 2011 to be a year of growing in the Lord like I never have before.

I am craving that time with Him and there is no better feeling.
