I’m overwhelmed at the oddest times. Taking a shower by myself without a shower chair is absolutely amazing to me. The fact that I can ENJOY a shower and not suffer barely making it through is really an overwhelming feeling.
People who aren’t sick really take the walking and the showering and doing things independently for granted. I’ve been doing it for a while now but just getting out of the shower and not feeling like I’m going to pass out is just amazing.
God is good! 43 days til the wedding!!!
Today my mom, I, and our two friends went to the apartments we might be able to rent. To pray about the situation just ask for God’s hand and control in it all. I’m not in control we know that He is ultimately in control. To have an apartment our own space with my husband would be absolutely wonderful. And to have it close to my parents house would be a blessing since I still need help physically when I feel sick.
Please pray for our strength, my energy, and the apartment for us. If it’s not in God’s pray the other living arrangements will work well.
Life has been a whirlwind lately. As my boyfriend Rick and I have been getting to know each other and learning everything about each other. We discovered that even at a early time of dating we loved each other. And now fast forward 9 months! We are planning to find a place to live and get married.
This is not a love letter to my boyfriend. It’s a “wow I can’t believe this is my life right now!?”
7 years of being sick 4 of them being close to housebound and now I am in the process of finding a place to live away from my parents, I have a boyfriend who truly cares about me, and we are planning a wedding in the future. Like serious what is my life!?
Story time: months and months ago Ricky and I put our name on a waiting list for these apartments that weren’t even built yet. The wonderful this is they are literally 1 minute from my house now. This means with my health my mom can help me anytime I need, if he’s not home and I’m having a bad health day or symptom. We really wanted to stay in our same town as close as we could to my parents. Then on Thursday July 30th they contacted us. Asking if we wanted to come in for a tour? Of course we said “yes!” Scheduled it for July 10th which was in 2 Saturdays. I understood I needed to wait but I was starting to worry a little. Then Saturday morning they texted and said “you can come at 11:30am for a tour.” Of course we said “yes!”
We went for the tour. At first it seemed odd cause it was still a construction site and we knocked and no one answered. It was daylight so we weren’t worried and I have my big tough guy with me. Lol
So I called the number they texted me and they said “oh awesome, we are here we will walk down from the model home section.” We met 2 really nice ladies. They right away showed us the clubhouse which had a heated pool, pool table, high ceilings, tables and high seats, etc. it looked awesome!
Then they took us in the golf cart to the one apartment that is actually finished. It was absolutely beautiful. Loved everything. It didn’t feel too small which can be a big problem for me cause I get claustrophobic. I could totally picture us living there. There was a nice kitchen with all appliances. There was windows that brought in a lot of light. And a walk in closet which could be a nice way to hide some stuff (makeup drawers, book cart, bathroom cart, clothes, etc) and a bath/shower in the bathroom nothing was too short which can be a problem with our tall heights. Is was gorgeous and very home like.
There’s a little more process to do but we are looking at our expenses and planning to jump on the application when we get all our ducks in a row and they contact us again.
Then we decided to go look at rings. I knew I wanted to look and he didn’t know even my size so we went on a little trip to go ring shopping. First we went to the place he got my necklace which was for Valentine’s Day ended up finding the ABSOLUTE perfect dream ring there it’s unique just like I am as he said. So now we are starting the process to plan the wedding because the ring will take 2-4 weeks for it to come in since it’s custom. Exciting!!!!!!
Im just really happy, excited, joyful, and content. I still have my ups and downs with my health. Even a newish thing if I think too much or do too much for too long then I get a pretty bad migraine (so that’s fun…not)
But seriously I am feeling so blessed!!
For now. Please pray and send us good thoughts. We need to stay calm, relaxed, and excited. When God opens door we chose to walk through.
On Pinterest I have seen a lot of versions of the Prayer Binder or War Binder or what I want to call it a Faith Binder.
My Faith binder is this journal that lets me feel organized while growing closer to God. When we go through life and feel lost dealing with everything, for me to be anchored in Christ makes a huge difference. To have that constant relationship going with God through prayer, reading His word, and allowing God to take control. This gives me a peace beyond understanding or circumstance. I wanted to have something that was all in one place my notes, my gratitude, prayers, requests, verses, and goals. And it’s super easy to make!
Binder – 4 x 7 inches
Inserts- Cardstock paper cut to size and 6 whole punched.
Dividers – Blessings, Verses, Notes, Prayers, requests, and Goals. You could also base it more on prayer have dividers for spouse, kids, parents, church, etc…
Pens – gel pens, sharpie fine tip, paper mate colored pens.
Step 1: buy binder take out any paper you don’t need.
Step 2: find cardstock you want to use print or solid.
Step 3: cut card stock into 4×7 or less and punch wholes using 6 whole punch.
Step 4: according to color choose dividers and names.
Step 5: place dividers in Binder with paper.
DONE!
I used colored paper “gives it a little something don’t you think?” – legally blonde
