God. Is. So. Incredibly. Good.

Wow.  I am not such a faithful blogger it seems!  After being at work, tending to the kids and the house I don't have much free time for the computer any more.  It is almost St Patricks Day and I am just now changing my Christmas blog background!

A lot has happened of course.  My mom has bought her first home as a single woman and has moved closer to our house.  A mile to be exact.  It is nice to have her closer not only in distance but also in relationship speaking as well.  :)

Both girls have started playing softball.  This is the first time I have had more than one child in sports at the same time.  Both are having a great time and working hard to learn more at each practice.  I will be happier when it is warmer though!



This past weekend, the Lord blessed Tommy and I with an unexpected getaway on a marriage retreat in Rome, Georgia.  We went to Winshape Retreat and it was incredible.  I have never been to a place like that where the presence of God was so strong and thick.  You are told right when you get there that you have been prayed for, the room you stay in is prayed over and every aspect of your stay is covered in prayer.  The owner of Chick Fil A owns the property and the staff who work there are incredible.  The best part of the weekend was that it was a time to completely unplug from the distractions of life to focus on God and your spouse.  No TV's, no phones, no worrying what to eat or fix for dinner.  Just you, God, your spouse and nature.  It was the most beautiful weekends we have ever had to connect, renew and refresh.  God really did a work in our hearts and in our marriage.  I am blown away at how the Creator of the Universe is so intimately involved in the details of our life.  He is amazing.  He is worthy of ALL PRAISE.  My love for Him went to an incredibly deep level with what He did for us.  I am so thankful that He has allowed me to be married to my best friend.  I wouldn't trade Mr Baker for anything in this world.
