For every thing there is a season.

Last Sunday I went to the Bridal Fair with Haley and her sister, mother, grandmother, and future sister-in-law. We had so.much.fun. I have always wanted to go to the Arkansas Bridal Fair but I couldn't go the year I got married and I haven't had an excuse to go until this year! It's basically an expo with booths from vendors like photographers, cake bakery's, DJ's, etc. They had lots of cake samples that were A-Mazing! There was also a fashion show at the end with bridal gowns and tuxedos. Super fun. And a little overwhelming. We talked to several awesome photographers. I wish I had the talent that several of the people we met had. Haley ended booking a photographer Eli Murray. He is awesome. We were impressed.

Last Sunday was actually a very big day for us. Dane announced at our church that he may be attending seminary in the fall. This is something that has been on his heart for a long time. He wants to pursue full-time ministry and needs a formal education to that. We are praying and looking for the place for us. Dane has already received one scholarship and we are very thankful for that. Last Sunday in church we sang Great is Thy Faithfulness and the words "All I have needed Your hand hath provided, Great is thy faithfulness Lord unto me" seemed so very real. Some of the old hymns can really break me down sometimes. I know that His love is always more than enough. Leaving our home, our families, and our first church will very difficult. We are very blessed with more than enough people who love us and teach us about family and faithfulness. More on that as the time approaches. I am trying to live in this season while we are in it and wait to celebrate new seasons when the time is right.

Speaking of God's love for us, I am very excited about meeting a sweet baby girl Ava Lauryn early next week. Susan is going to be induced on Sunday night and we are looking for a January 24th baby. I have been praying for my sweet friend all day and I know she is going to be glowing when she sees that tiny little face.

I am also praying for my dear Gran. She is looking at possible surgery sometime around March. It might be major surgery. She is a very strong woman but I am praying for her recovery already. If you are reading this, please pause for a moment to say a prayer for her as well.
