{ "as long as we tithe, God will provide" }

   the past few weeks have been so rewarding, and since i've been sitting here tonight reflecting, i cant believe how blessed i truly am.
   in the past few weeks, God has blessed us with small financial contributions by housesitting, babysitting and i even got to coordinate a wedding! its been a crazy February, but Gods goodness has been in the chaos! joel and i's phrase is "as long as we tithe, God will provide"...and its been proven true! God does not fail us!
   since the fall, ive had the privelage of helping coordinate a wedding for 2 of my volunteers. their whole family is very involved in the childrens ministry at Vineyard, so it was incredible to be alongside them in this process. my mother-in-law was the other coordinator, and i must say, we did a good job :) it was perfect, and they are truly a great example of a Godly couple to their friends and family. congratulations Graig & Andrea!

   on another note, i have the flu :-/ the kids we watched this weak were just getting over the flu, and i guess i still caught it! but i made it through the wedding (and church), which was beautiful and made me honestly forget how aweful i felt and how messy our place is. our home is a large laundry/mud room. but it makes it homey :)
   my husband has been so sweet today. making me toast, getting me blankets, making me some Emergen-C (we are strong believers in this stuff!), getting me water at 2:30 am and praying over my stomach when i'm not sure whats going on (lol). i love being married. i love being loved. and i loved being reminded this weekend of how beautiful and powerful a marriage covenant is!
