I can't get it out of my head.....

Ever since we went to Washington in February, we've been smitten with my parent's farm and the area in general. We had a miraculous transformation happen while we were there, and God did some really amazing things in our lives and is still doing amazing things. Jake is a changed man since that trip. He treats me with complete respect and and consideration, which to be honest, wasn't usually the case before (and not on my end either, I should mention). I feel so completely loved and appreciated and I know only God can change an attitude like that.

Every night we've been reading our Bible together and reading Oswald Chambers' "My Utmost For His Highest". It has been a really fulfilling and edifying "ritual" (although I hate using that word).

Jake and I have decided to start doing ministry together, that is, playing and singing. We're just in the early stages of getting this together and our ultimate goal is either to lead worship somewhere or go to a lot of different places and play, although whatever God wants is what we'll do.

Anyway, the farm. My parents put us in charge of designing this garden- the Secret Garden- that is way out in the forest at the end of this awesome path through the trees. We got a little done the last time we were there, and I find myself constantly thinking about it now. Honestly, we have both felt kind of awkward here ever since we got back because Washington almost feels like home to both of us now. It just felt right when we were there. I know it was only six days, but a lot changed in those six days. I yearn to be back there almost constantly.

We've been praying about a lot of things lately and there's a lot in the works possibly that I can't discuss because God hasn't fully revealed them to us, but things are getting exciting around our house.....Pray for wisdom for us.
