North Carolina is Home!


This is the view from our deck. Beautiful! Everyone who knows me knows that purple is my favorite color and has been since I was a little girl. When we rode up to our new house for the first time I was overwhelmed by the beauty of God's creation. This is just a little reminder to me that God's plan is best. He knows what He is doing. He intimately knows those who love Him. I say this because timing is everything. Waiting for something to happen or waiting for a break through is tough. Patience is a hard characteristic to embrace and practice. If you are waiting on the Lord, your wait is never in vain. I can't stress that enough. We live amidst the farmland in North Carolina, surrounded by fields of various crops. Those who know about farming know that the crops rotate each season to keep the soil good and fertile. The crop in my backyard view could've been stalks of corn, tabacco, or peanuts. It wasn't though. It was this beautiful purple sage. This is what God planned for my welcome home. A beautiful view of purple sage. He knows me. He knows my favorite color is purple. I love that and I love Him! Be encouraged. Waiting on the Lord is worth it. He'll wow you and give you the desires of your heart when you seek Him.

Psalm 27:14 ~ Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
