A change is coming...

I have never been a big fan of change- major or minor. That fact does not stop change from coming. Change is such an interesting thing....exciting and scary, new opportunities but you have to leave old things behind, full of possibility but full of unknown. I do not fight change, however, because I know that change pushes me, it challenges me and it continues to make me grow. Change is something that is scary and overwhelming at first, but in the end, you are really the one who benefits.

Ryan and I are moving to Greenville. We always thought it was a possibility but did not know for sure until Ryan talked with his boss this week. We were not sure if Ryan was going to be able to keep his job if we moved, but he will be able to! This was a huge blessing......it gave us the clear direction we needed to go to Greenville and it blesses us with 2 jobs which is huge with the financial responsibilities we have.

We are super excited. We both have always loved Greenville. It is a really fun time in life. I get to start working as a PA, we get to live with cool friends and family and we will hopefully get to be home owners. However, we are sad to leave Charleston. This is the place where we have spent most of our married life. God has blessed us with wonderful friends and fellowship, a great church and a network of great people. We love going to the beach on the weekends and late afternoons, walking on the battery after a long day and all our traditions we have made here. It is such a bittersweet thing to be leaving.

We are moving next Friday. Even though there is change that is coming, we are looking expectantly to see what God will do with it. We believe He is over this move and our jobs and we trust His will will be done. Although my heart breaks to leave great friends and the life we have made here, it is joyful to see what great things God has in store.

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it ...

10 things...

I am such a copy-cat today, but I love this idea! My favorite, Beth Moore, started this on her blog,  and then I noticed my girls, Alyssa and Kathyrn did it on their blogs too. I am learning so many new things about people and, naturally, I need to do it now! Here are the directions: What are 10 things - right off the top of your head - that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don't go for deep. Go for quirky. Don't try to put them in any kind of order and don't make them long. Just start typing. Since this is the Reese blog, I will attempt to do it for both of Ryan and myself.... Anna: 1. I hate to shave. Freshman year of college, I only shaved once a week and my friends and people I worked with tried to straighten me out with weekly "armpit checks"...sick, but true. 2. I love zits, abscesses, blood blisters---an...
