This has been such a peaceful weekend. Just spending time together and fixing up the house.
Yesterday I made Rice Krispy Treats, cut up lots of fruit and vegetables and we grilled burgers for dinner. Today I have cinnamon rolls rising and am going to try my hand at dehydrating potatos.
By the end of the day all the pictures will be hung. It was so fun last night to sit and decide what is going where, reliving all the fun times we have had and looking forward to the times we will have in the future (San Francisco - here we come!).
God has truly blessed us.

God's Victory
Today, Brian met with his parents to discuss recent events with our separation and our plans for the future. Brian was a little nervous as the relationship in the past had been strained by various attitudes of all of us. During the separation, things have been said by all sides that cause us all hurt.
After praying for God to show up in a big way and grant Brian the strength and wisdom needed to help him get through, God got the victory..........Brian was able to maintain a relationship that had been previously restored and was able to talk with his parents about moving forward and maintaining an open relationship with his parents, sister and children.
Although this process might take a while, God is bigger than we are and will guide us through the entire process. All of us can not wait to get together to begin building a stronger relationship than before.
Go God.

Progress Note
This is great......I hacked into Vicki's blog.
Well let me start out by saying how great things are going since we have gotten back together. There are a few issues that are lingering such as several phone calls or text messages that I have chosen to go unanswered. Yes, I know I have thought about using the courts to curb this harassment from all the individuals involved but have chosen to take the higher road.
God is working in big ways. We are so excited to see where all of this will lead us as we heal our wounds. Had a great weekend last weekend camping on the rim. It was so great just to lay in each others arms and see the stars and listen to the thunder as the evening storm rolled in.
Both Jay and David are doing great and we can see that they are relaxed now that their mom and dad are together. There are still things that require attention between myself and the family but I am convinced that God will get me through this and will get the glory in the end.
Until then thank you to all who have stood by us and encouraged us during the storm.

Camping Weekend
We went camping at Milk Ranch Point this weekend and had an amazing time. It was our first camping trip without children - we did miss them while setting up and breaking down camp.....
Through the entire weekend we only saw six other people - two horseback riders, two mountain bikers and two on a quad. It was great.
One of the best parts was sitting at the edge of the rim - doing our SOAPs, talking about what God is teaching us, where we have been and where we are going, and just admiring what the Creator has done.
God has blessed us with an amazing marriage that is growing stronger day by day. The words of Paul come to mind "...what satan meant for evil, God has turned to good".
God is so good. We are so blessed.

Love
Have been reading through 1, 2 and 3 John. It is overwhelming how much God loves us.
1 John 3:1 - How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!!
The word lavished really sticks out to me - it is not just loving us, but showering love and blessings on us, giving us more than we asked for or even deserve.
Abba has been so good to us recently. I am just basking in His love as He is restoring, reconciling and healing. The love is growing in every area. We are SO blessed.
While we have been dealing with some pain and hurts, the love is overshadowing everything. The key we have found is love equals Jesus. Jesus along with the Holy Spirit is holding all together to the glory and majesty of His name.
God IS good. We are blessed.

Answered Prayer
God is so good.
For months I had been praying for the reconciliation of Brian and God knowing once that happened our marriage would be on the way to healing.
Not only did God bring Brian home into His arms - but He is working miracles in our lives. We are learning more about each other, we are growing in love with our Savior and with each other. We have so many blessings being showered on us.
One of the amazing things is how some of the family relationships that had been strained are now full of love and acceptance.
It is so incredible to me how not only did God answer my prayer (and those of so many others) but He went beyond what I could even imagine. My husband is restored and he is the most amazing man in the world for me. Our marriage was not broken and the covenant is solid.
We have the rest of our lives together and eternity. God is so good.

Treated like a Princess
God is good. The past few weeks have been busy and full of growth. This weekend was amazing.
We left after breakfast at the Goodyear Swap Meet ($3.00 breakfast!) and headed for Sedona. Our hotel wasn't ready so we headed to the restaurant where we had our first date (his idea!). After we headed to Flagstaff for the Chris Tomlin concert stopping along the way to check out some camping spots.
We had over three hours of worship. God was moving. It was just a little taste of heaven to be worshipping for several hours. It was good too because my knees didn't hurt very much. He parked in preferred parking so our walk to the car was minimal.
It was wonderful to be treated like a princess. I am so blessed.
