Christmas wrap-up!

Christmas time was pretty memorable for Trevor and I this year. Unfortunately we weren’t able to spend it with our families. We were grateful to be surrounded by loving friends who have become family to us! Trevor & I are thankful for each and every one of them! Not only are we thankful for new friends that we have made in New Orleans, but also our friends from the MidWest who have visited us throughout the month of December! I wanted to share a few photos with “ya’ll”.

The other night we went out with another married couple from the church and we talked about how God really does take care of us. Trevor and I were worried about being financially short this holiday season, but God provided exactly what we needed. Not only that, but He surrounded us by people who love us and sent friends from the MidWest to be with us too! Even though our families may be in California and South Dakota, Trevor and I definitely felt loved this Christmas season. No matter whether the ones you love are close or near by, God will always take care of you where you’re at. God takes care of us, He really does!

Backtracking!

Its Christmas time and so much has happened!

I do apologize for not writing these last few months. I’m originally from California and the weather is usually rainy during this time of year. When we lived in Missouri, we had to deal with ice storms and snow. Now that Trevor and I are living in New Orleans, we are enjoying 75-degree weather and some fog. I’m a happy girl! J

These past few months Trevor and I have been working closely with Saints Community Church in developing new events. We have had Baptism Sunday, Child Dedication Sunday, and Saints Kids Service.  In the midst of different events, I have grown to fallen in love even more with our church. There is such a great sense of community with loving and taking care of one another. From groceries to fixing up cars,  our church has built such a strong sense of community like Acts Chapter 2.

In other news, we have had a few close friends and family visit us these last few months from Springfield and it was wonderful!  I love staying in touch with people and when we do get reconnected, its like we have never left! I love it!

Trevor and I have been married for a year and a few months now! Whenever times have gotten rough for us, I feel like it’s brought us even more closer together. We work together to figure things out and continue in trusting God.

If I could title these past few months, I would call it “The Season When Our Faith Grew Stronger.”  I have always thought that my faith was strong, but sometimes God wants to take your faith to the next level and even beyond.  It hasn’t been an easy journey, but it’s been worth it! I pray that if God wants to take your faith to the next level, trust Him. He really is all that you need.
