Happy New Year! 2013 Oh I can't wait to see what you bring :)
I have renamed my blog for this new season in life. I am naming it, "The Accidental Wife."
I think most people when they get married feel a little bit like what did I jut get myself into?! I have felt like I accidentally became a wife.
How I came to this new blog name? Well I was doing my grocery shopping like any respectable working house wife would do, & stumbled upon this product. It caught my eye because for one the lady has pretty hair & has a red tint to it & that it was kind of cute, not lame looking like all the house cleaning supplies.When I saw this I just stopped in the store with big eyes because that was me!

Last year I made this blog and titled it, "Journey to becoming a good Wife." That is still what I want to accomplish. Some things from last year that I am proud of! I learned how to cook & make meal planning easy with emeals.com (Seriously it's amazing.) I am proud of the growth from my team in Mary Kay & I am very excited about my checks growing each month! I am proud of the growth that me & my sweet husband have made. We know how to talk to each other pretty well for the most part. :) We are now home owners because of a wonderful Gift God gave us. I am proud of graduating from Texas Tech (wasn't really sure if that would ever happen.) but the one thing that I am most proud of is my relationship with God & the intimacy I have grown with Him, but nothing will be like what I am about to experience in 2013.
You know when you know that God is about to take you through something that your not sure is going to be the most comfortable thing in the entire world? That is exactly what I am about to go through. I going into this season of seeking after him & pouring myself out for his cause. For 2013 God has given me the word Metamorphosis. I started to hold on to this word as my ballet company announced their name for our January Recital entitled "Metamorphosis."
My company than started to talk about how a caterpillar must decide to be transformed or go through metamorphosis. It is NOT a comfortable process because the caterpillar turns into soup pretty much to become a new creature, but the caterpillar knows that in order to be a NEW creature the old must die & than your are transformed.
To tie into this word I have received, God has given me 3 scriptures throughout 2012 that relate to renewing, transformingg, & new bodies.
The first verse was is in Isaiah this was at the start of the year. Isaiah 54: 11 "O Afflicted city, lashed by storms and not comforted, I will rebuild you with stone of turquoise, your foundations with lapis lazuli. I will make your battlements of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones."
Than in November or December I received Romans 12:2 "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will."
And than I received this verse on the last Sunday of the year at church...
Ezekial 37: 1-10 verse 9& 10 says this, "He said to me, "Prophesy to the breath. Prophesy, son of man. Tell the breath, God the Master, say, Come from the four winds. Come, breath. Breathe on these slain bodies. Breath Life!" So I prophesied, just as he commanded me. The breath entered them and they came alive! They stood up on their feet, a huge army."
These are the verses that have lead me up to a new beginning of 2013. I feel this wooing from God that he wants my time & affection. He has consumed me with his Love. This first part of the year is entirely about intimacy with God. God asked me at the end of the year, Do you want me to take you through metamorphosis? I said, Yes Father.
Lord, today I pray for anybody reading this blog right now God that today you will transform us, and Lord may we say yes to you. Even if we do not understand what you are doing Lord we till serve you. You are still my Lord & my Savior. We are your servants and we praise you for everything you have done in our lives. Thank you father for your unfailing love. Thank you Father for coming to this world to save us. Thank you Father for loving us so we can love other people. God use me as a vessel today Lord, use me God.
