Missing in action. sorry.

This is LONG overdue.
life has been....
busy.

Starting in May, babies seemed to have like me and wanted to keep me busy.
July I had my month break.
Spent 2 weeks in Melbourne and 2 weeks in San Diego.
Amazing memories, rest, refreshment, laughs & deeper connections were made.
God romanced my heart in so many ways.
I am grateful for the time I got to spend with my family.
In Australia & the States.

Coming back was hard.
but I am thankful for those certain people God has placed in my life & community here.
To come back to their friendship, conversations & encouragement.

The women & babies.
my heart found comfort in its desires to be a midwife.

God has given me amazing moments.
amazing > births.
                  women.
                  shifts.


Just yesterday. With my patient. Watching her sheer determination laboring.
I have never been so empowered & encouraged.
Jesus spoke to my heart with overwhelming love.
I don't deserve anything He gives me.
Praying.
asking for strength & power to run through her body.
He asked me to trust Him.
in that moment.
To be strong like her.
in a different way.

but to trust Him. His plan. His guidance.

Things are changing.
and those are the moments I am reminded that I can choose my path or His.
Jesus has been so faithful to me.
undeservingly.
I am filled with peace in the doors He is opening for my life.
The people He is introducing me to.
and the desires that He keeps putting on my heart.

We serve a good Father. Who only wants the best for us.
sometimes in those seasons that is hard to comprehend.
but when you come out, you see His hand was holding your all the way through.

I can't believe I have been here over a year.
Next month is October already.
Im going to be 25.
yikes.
bring it on.
I am making a list of 25 "to-do's" in this next year.
it will be a challenge but finally want to do things that I have been wanting to for a while.

This blogging will be happening more often.
i promise.
I forgot how therapeutic it is for me.

Have a splendid week.
See God in the little things.
live in the moment.

In Christ's Love
