God revealed to me one day in a picture that I was like a ball of tar. Layers upon layers cover me. Suddenly someone was peeling back the layers, one by one, until there was one that was stuck. It held tight, so he pulled hard and the tar ripped away revealing a beautiful pearl. I tried to cover and protect it, when God said, "wait! This is me covering you."

Calming Down
Life's been calming down quite a bit lately. I definitely feel like I am finally truely adjusting back to the American culture. Can you believe its been a year since being back here? I still find myself making decisions based on the good and the bad that I learned while overseas. I know that experience has forever changed me. One of the biggest impacts from that time was a discouraging one. I came back with little trust in my heart for almost anyone, but especially God. I finally feel rest again. Rest that we're going to make it through life, that God is with me. Nate reminds me all the time of big things God has done for us. A year ago we were not sure we would even be able to make it back tot he states. But here we are. Almost a year ago we thought we wouldn't be able to pay for the beautiful wedding we desired. Here we are with wonderful memories, photography, beauty and completely paid off. We have a dog and jobs and eachother. More hope in my heart than before. Thank you everyone for your prayers and encouragement through this time.
