Every Day with Jesus is Sweeter Than the Day Before

The past few weeks have been weeks of spiritual growth and renewal in not only my life personally, but also in the life of my marriage. I think I shared before about Drew & I starting The Love Dare. So far we both are really enjoying it and all the devotions have had some really great things in them. I can tell we are both growing closer to Jesus and each other. There is nothing sweeter to me than praying with my husband to our Savior who loves us and brought us together.
Also this past week's Bible study with my sweet friend Jenna was exceptionally great, as we were joined by one of the people who has influenced me so much in my Christian walk...Tracey Maggard. I love this lady and having her join us was such a blessing. We all shared and I was so refreshed by all the things we talked about. Mrs. Tracey shared several things that blessed my heart and she also gave me a great idea for my prayer life. She talked about how she uses index cards with verses on them in her prayers. What an amazing & beautiful way to pray...to give back to God His words that bless and encourage us. I have already read the chapters for our meeting this week, and I was truly blessed by what I read. Any lady looking for an encouraging Christian read should definitely think about picking up a copy of Disciplines of a Godly Woman...I am enjoying it more than I can say.
Another area of growth for me here lately has been in the area of physical fitness. I am in love with yoga. It is pretty hardcore and really refreshing too. I realize that I need to get in the practice of working out now, so that in the future it will be easier for me to make it a priority. I have always hated working out, but now with the newfound love of yoga, I feel like I can do this. I am even considering getting up at 5am when Drew does and either going to the Y or just doing my Jillian Michaels yoga before work. I am not a morning person at all so we will see how this works out. I will give you an update later.
I am also going to start going back to school in the summer and I have also registered for the fall. After my advising appointment, my advisor told me that if I stay on task I should be done in a year to a year and a half. I couldn't be more excited!
God is doing great things in my life and I am so excited to see what new & amazing things He has for me down the road.
