It was a rainy afternoon. Sitting under a warm blanket, bible, notebooks, and prayer journals falling off my lap, I cupped my hot tea in my hands.

From time to time, I like to revisit old prayer journals. I picked up one from a dusty shelf that was from the Summer of 2013.

As I read page after page, I sat in amazement of how simple those old journals were.

My heart was all over the pages, but the times seem to be different then.

This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

Way back in 2015, we were feeling led by God to make a move.

We had built a home for our family in 2006, and loved every ounce of our time there.

However, Lem and I both felt God was shifting us to a new place beginning early of 2015.

I always know when God is up to something because He aligns me AND Lem’s heart.

We are complete and absolute opposites, so when we are in agreement on something, it has to be God. Haha!

This past Monday, we celebrated a big birthday milestone for my sweet husband, Lem.

I had tried to plan him a party of some sort, but he refused. The social butterfly that he is, this was surprising!

However, we do have some dinner plans made with friends that will suffice and fill his social butterfly cup. :)

He called me from work Monday, on his birthday, and said he wanted to go try a restaurant in downtown Atlanta that evening. He had checked and was able to secure a reservation.

Thrilled to have a night out and away from the kitchen, I gleefully said, “YESSS!!!!”
