moving.

The link to the beautiful artwork below is here. Check out her stuff, it's amazing!

I'm moving. Into a beautiful little town home with one of my dearest friends. On the river. Right on the river to be exact. And I have a little deck off the back of my bedroom that sits on this beautiful laughing river. I can hardly believe it...that for now, this is the life He has given me. Surrounded by mountains on every side, living in this beautiful state, hidden away in a little valley....living where most people dream of living. I'm astounded. And life is wonderful and overflowing with beauty and terribly hard in many ways and I struggle a lot, but He has seen fit to surround me for my whole life with places that comfort and speak to my soul when things are hard...and for this I am more grateful than I'll ever be able to express.

If I have not lived on the ocean I have lived in the mountains. My whole life has been one continuous looking around at all that surrounds me and constantly being reminded of the hand of a God who created such a world, where I see...truly see...and wonder how I could possibly question who He is? Seeing all He has done to speak to my heart, I can't question who He is...I've questioned many times what He's allowed in my life, yet, even in these questions the answers have come with a surety and grace that He allows that which molds my heart and makes me ever change into someone that is better than I was....but wow, I still have a long way to go. 

He is faithful. More faithful than I realize today, because each day that passes I think, "WOW!!! He's SO faithful!" and the next day I'll think, "Yeah....I know waaaaay better today than I did yesterday how faithful He is...." and so His faithfulness continues with each day slipping into the history of this life He's given me. Faithful. That word is becoming a theme in my relationship with Him, knowing deeper depths of all it holds within. Faithful.

So, did I mention I'm moving into a little place on. the. river.?! Yeah, this girl is:) And I'm really excited about it in case you can't tell! I never thought I'd be able to live in a place like this, but even in this His depths of faithfulness have come shining through. No, it's not the nicest or newest place, but to me, it's everything I want or need in this moment. More than that. I didn't think to dream this up actually....but, He has proven over and over and over again, that if I trust Him, He will give more than I could ever dream.
