a new season...I've missed you!

Almost 2 months ago, I shared with you
that I would be taking a little break from blogging...

but I am SO excited to be getting back to it and to start catching up on yalls lives
and catching you up on ours a bit...
though I won't do too much backtracking and just pick up from here!

I truly hope everyone has been so blessed...
I seriously have felt something was missing in my life
and my community the last few months!
Oh, how I've missed you bloggy friends!!

But here we are!!

It's been 2 months of trusting God, like always,
to meet our every need,
to guide us into new seasons,
and to remember the power of prayer.

He's also been teaching me the power of
remembering
what He has already done for us.

And in that remembrance...
to recognize the ABILITY He has
to restore, to provide, to show up.

Fall has come, which is our favorite...
here it means
Candy Corn, Northface jackets, pumpkins {"punkies"},
nights by the firepit, Okahoma wind, and of course Aggie football!

In our life right now, it also stands for the
coming of a new season.
new prayers, new needs, new excitements,
new struggles, new revelations, new desires.
{and don't forget, the growing of a new baby...
I am almost 30 weeks now!}

We are in awe of the grown up girl before us.
{and a little bit in awe of the attitude that has come along..
yikes, toddlerhood!}
She is now sleeping in a big girl bed, (post on that to come!)
and we are headed towards potty training.
yep, shes growing up...she will be 22 months next week!

With Abigail growing up SO fast...
with this little princess growing each day in my belly...
with our need for trusting God growing each day...
I know this coming season will be challenging.
But I believe it will be RICH.
I believe the Lord has said this season will be full of life,
in more ways than we can know right now.

But that with that fullness,
will come an extra measure of faith needed to believe that what
He is doing is for our benefit and out of His love for us.
because HE IS GOOD.

I can't wait to share life with you here again...

P.S.
Parker and I are leaving tomorrow for a little "baby#2moon" trip
{another God story I can't wait to tell you about!}
so I will be back to posting more next week...
CAN'T WAIT!!!
