Ebb and Flow

There are inevitably inconsistencies in life. I, for one, have experienced heaps of change these last two years. My new lifestyle has not failed to propose more change. I am undergoing another job change in these next few weeks. I am thrilled to have a new opportunities (steady pay, breaks, education, etc.) and more of a personal life with this upcoming occupation. On a different note, Luke and I will be seeing each other much less thanks to his last year at Cal Poly. (He says 32 hours of our weekly schedule will be different. That seems like quite a bit!) The times they are a-changin'.

But change aside, there are new developments and traditions forming. Luke and my garden is flourishing here on the Mesa! Pretty soon I will have to force produce onto friends and strangers alike. But as silly as it sounds, handing out organic vegetables sounds like a dream come true. The vegetables I have enjoyed so far are incredible. How does that come out of a seed?! I have also been running regularly. This is a strange statement for me because I swore for years I could never be a runner. It is one of my favorite new discoveries. Besides that, our house has been so much fun. Luke and I were cautioned as newlyweds to enter into a household with another couple. But these past few months have been so much fun. The guys and I enjoy beer or cocktails while we all partake in Dexter or films from Netflix. We are having friends over to the house weekly to read the Bible and hang out. We play cards, make tea, and tell stories. We scheme up ways to get rich, activities to pursue, and what we're going to do next. We are all eagerly awaiting Eli's arrival. Which only means more change for all of us!

I am thoroughly convinced of God's love, faithfulness, and satisfaction in the joy we have while we're here.
