Update

Well, it has been a while since I posted last and thought you may need an update. I have been sick with a nasty flu-bronchitis combo. It is the sickest I have been in a long time.....slept on the couch for 3 days straight and had fever. I couldn't remember if I had ever had fever in my entire life before then!! I am on medicine and feeling a little better, but still not 100%.

Ryan was the best during my sickness. He was such the knight in shining armor. He was tending to my needs, cleaning up after me and brushing my hair back from my forehead. My love grew so much in those moments watching him care for me so much. It made my heart happy while my body was sick. I told him I was so sorry for having to put up with all of it and he responded with, "In sickness and in health". I know...cheesy, but so sweet and kind at the same time. And, of course, now he is sick!

It is a huge snowstorm here, so Scout and I have been inside the last few days trying to brave the storm. Ryan actually had to work in Charleston and is supposed to be returning home tonight. Please pray for safety! The Reeses graciously allowed me to stay with them until today, which was great for rest and safety from the storm.

Scout is a year old now....can you believe it? He is growing and growing, but still loves to cuddle up in your lap. We love him so much...he is hilarious and gives us lots of laughs!!

Can you believe how much he has grown from this picture when he was a little pup??!!

We are still getting settled here in Greenville. Working on joining a community group at church which should begin next week and building relationships with other people. It is a process that requires patience and trust that the Lord will provide exactly what we need when we need it. Ryan and I are still working at the same jobs and doing okay. It is a pretty good season of life.

I hope all of you are doing well and enjoying the beginning of the New Year!

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...
