Moving to the Lone Star State

-
                 Michigan is known for many things. One of them being a harsh winter. If you grew up in Michigan like I did, you know winter can come as early as October and stay as long as May. You may also view Michigan`s weather with the same perspective as my husband- long and cold and lasts for nine months! None the less, it is still just as beautiful. Take a look:






          Before Scott and I were married he asked me if I would move to Texas with him. My response was "No, it is way too hot!" Throughout our marriage he continued to ask and my response was always the same. After a while, I realized that I hadn't even prayed about this decision. I had just said no because I didn`t want to move there. So, I decided to start praying about moving to Texas. 
         After a harsh winter, Scott had arrived at work late a few times because of the snow. One day, we had received a lot of snow on top of mud and such and Scott couldn't make it to work in our truck. The truck did not have four wheel drive which made driving in the snow difficult. So, after Scott was let go I asked him if he still wanted to move to Texas. I told him how I had been praying about it and how God had been changing my mind about moving there. 
         After much prayer and counsel from our Pastor, we both felt that God was leading us to Texas. After a few months we packed up our stuff and headed to Texas on faith on June 3rd. We didn`t know where we were going to live, what church we would attend or where we would work. God is good and He provided all of those things. Here are a few pictures from our journey. 










      We know for sure that this is where God has led us. God showed us many things as we first arrived. I will never forget this journey of faith I took with my best friend. I could go on and on about how God continued to provide every step of the way for us. It was and is amazing! God promises to provide all of our needs, not our wants, but our needs. I got to watch God work as He provided our rent and other various things. Scott and I were praying for an exact amount and God provided that! It was amazing! What a mighty God we serve! :-) Here are some memories being made as we serve our Lord in the Lone Star state!

Our 1st Miscarriage

The Story of our 1st miscarriage with Baby Nutter I am ready to share my story about having a miscarriage. They say there is healing in sharing.  What is every little girls dream? To grow up one day, get married, and have a baby. The day came when I got married, I couldn't wait to start a family! With much prayer Scott and I thought we were ready to start a family. We  had been trying for awhile and it didn't even seem hopeful. Every-time that   time of the month came around I would be sad that it didn't happen, time and time again. After what seemed like forever, I gave up on that dream of being a mom.  ~The day we found out our happy news~       I remember the day that we found out we were expecting. It was in the very beginning of December. I had finally talked my husband into letting me buy a test. He did not want me to be disappointed again. I was so nervous to even take the test even thought I was certain this time! I had waited long enough and the time

          Christmas 2017 will always be a day to remember.  That day was filled with so much sorrow and yet I received the best gift ever. What? How is that possible?  Grab a cup of coffee and let me share our story with y’all. Our Baby's precious name        When Scott and I knew that we were expecting, we had a wave of many different emotions. We experienced great happiness, joy, fear, worry, and the unknown future of this precious baby. I wanted to be prepared as we had experienced a miscarriage before. Read about our first miscarriage here if you haven’t already:     http://jenny-s-journey.blogspot.com/2015/05/miscarriage.html?m=1 .   I knew that God was the only one who could see the future life of this baby. God would know how many days or weeks the baby would grow, if the baby would make it full term, and if there would be  any compilations. I didn’t want to have to experience another miscarriage, this has been a fear of mine for a while. However,

Blogmas Post #3 There are only 22 days left until  Christmas!  The question for you today is:  Do you have an ornament that's special to you personally or as a married couple?  I love decorating the tree each year, its one of my favorite things to do! I looked at all our ornaments to see which one was the most special to us, I found two of them!  The first one is this ornament. It was given to us as a wedding gift. I ordered a picture small enough to fit in it.  The second one is this ornament. It came from my most favorite store in the whole world!!!!! If you aren't from Michigan, you probably have no idea what store I am talking about. Michigan is known for many things, one of them being a Christmas town with the world's largest Christmas store! If you ever go to Michigan, I encourage you to go to the town of Frankenmuth! While there, go and visit Bronner's, it's the Worlds largest Christmas store! They have every ornament you could
