God is Good
I am so Sorry I have been neglecting you all. Life has been so crazy for so many reasons but the number one reason is that I was in the process of a fantastic move. God is so good you guys. My family and I have been praying for a house by the beach for so long and we have finally been blessed with one, completely by accident. Here is the story.
When my family and I were moving out of my childhood home about 3 years ago, we tried to get to the beach, but every opportunity seemed to close down, every door we thought we were supposed to go through was shut in our faces. We ended up in a small Christian town that we all fell in love with. We never thought we would leave. Our neighbors were nice, the people were nice, and we finally felt free to be who we are and not be judged, we could be Christians. But than we got a notice that the owners were selling the house we were in and had to move out of our house. We ended up moving into a way too small temporary rental. Half way through the school year, we had the chance to move, but decided that it was too complicated to move now, God had other ideas. Less than a month later we get another notice. Okay, no big deal, we figured we were staying in our town. But than I got this feeling. This feeling of discontentment, a feeling that I should tell my parents it was time to leave. I fought with this feeling, doubted my initial reaction that it was from God. But I finally got the courage to tell my parents. They listened and thought about it, and realized it was true, we no longer felt that connection we originally felt. Dad began looking at the beach again, and what do you know, we found it. Our house. But I am getting ahead of myself again lol. Mom was totally against the idea, I mean there was no way we could pull my sister out of school and up and move to a different state. But the house was to amazing the pass up. We could no longer ignore the feeling God was giving us. He wants us here and we may not know why yet, but we will be here until we find out.
Your sister in Christ,

Wow! Isn't it incredible how God gives us dreams like that? I just love hearing how God blesses someone by letting them see the realization of a dream they've had. I've been trying to get some of my dreams sorted out, cause I know that God only has one road in mind for me, lol. But wow, a house by the beach! I think I'm jealous now, haha.
It's good to see that you updated your blog, too! :-) I've missed you since you were gone! Welcome back! Lol.
Ttyl, twinny!
God bless,

You should be it is beautiful lol. No just kidding, but God has been really good to my family, we have been blessed more than we had imagined. I will be praying for you bro, just make sure you are listening and ready to move when the Lord says to follow.
I am glad you liked the update, sorry they are so few and far between, but I am really getting into my work, so blog has been put on the back burner. Just remember I didn't forget about all of you I'm just keeping my priorities straight. Always know you are in my prayers!!
God Bless Bro!!
