“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way.”
ok enough Plagiarism for one post! But Charles Dickens put it so much better than I could. I would have just said that Ronan and I have had one roller coaster year of good times and bad! 
But how great is our God that He has sustained us when our belly was in our throats as we were hurtling downwards on this journey! The growth I have seen in my husband has been amazing. He has come into his own as a leader of our little family and as a follower of Christ. God has used this time to shape us and use us for His glory. I think i will throw in a hallelujah for my mum in law (you know that I love you Ann! ).. But it is a heart felt one as well!
Habbakuk 3:17 – 18
17 Though the fig tree should not blossom,
nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail
and the fields yield no food,
the flock be cut off from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord;
I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
Hello to my friends old and new. I look forward to sharing with you my journey of being a Christian, wife, and mum in this blog. Some times you may cry with me. I hope sometimes you will be encouraged by me. Every once in a while you may even laugh with me! ;) Come join me in this great race!
Hebrews 12:1Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
Karen, it’s amazing the circumstances that God will use to draw our hearts to Him!! Sometimes painful, sometimes funny, and sometimes beyond comprehension. I pray that through it all you come out a stronger family and a little more dependent upon Him!
