Well, I know it has been a long time, but in all honesty until recently I have just not felt like blogging. Isn’t it weird how it is so easy to write deep poetic pieces when we are feeling down-and-out, but so difficult to put our emotions and thoughts into a blog unless we are doing really well? Maybe it’s because deep-down, we don’t others to read about the negativity we are feeling, instead trying to stay hidden behind the mask with which we so often cover ourselves when in the public eye.
Anyway, so here I am again. Much has happened since the last time I wrote, and I will make the best attempt possible to catch everyone up on what has been going on with us. Jessica finally received full-time status at Student Life, which means she is now a permanent fixture at the office instead of working a part-time shift of 40 hours a week. This is great for two reasons. First, she finally feels as if she belongs somewhere, and working for the future instead of just the here and now. Second, with both of us being full-time, our office now covers 100% of our monthly health insurance costs. This will saving us a lot of money every month, in addition to the slight raise in salary that she received after the promotion.
Financially this has been a great month. Real estate was very good these past few weeks, and I have had several closings back-to-back. For the first time in 4 years, I had a very successful month in real estate. We are going to pay off a lot of debt as well as put a little money into savings for the first time since we have been married. The Lord has truly been good to us, and we are seeing his grace and mercy more clearly now than ever before. Not just because of the financial blessings, but because we are finally able to see how our faith in Him always leads to greater things than we could have hoped for no matter how tough the road was along the way. It is obvious to us that His timing is always perfect, and we can see all the little pieces falling into place so as to make the next steps of life come just a little easier. To Him be the glory!

There is nothing quite like the expression of one's soul into the written word.Be ye not the judge of my soul, and judge ye not the words written within these pages.
Revelation 2:10
"Do not be afraid for what you are about to suffer, for I tell you the devil will put some of you into prison for ten days. But be faithful, even unto the point of death, and you will receive a crown of life."
