I've been so busy the past few days, but here I am with another update. Earlier this afternoon, I made brunch for Michael and I: buttermilk pancakes :) They tasted SOOO good! It has been so much fun setting up our little kitchen and then getting to cook and bake in it! It seems all I've been doing this week is more setting up and cleaning! I finished our bathroom a few nights ago, and last night Michael helped me get rid of some more boxes and clear up our living room.
The cleaning goal for today is to finish the dining room and then start taking some pictures so everyone can see our little home!On another note, I read Psalm 145 again this morning. This is one of my favorite passages in all of Scripture. Its filled with such joy and praise to God! I love to read it out loud and think of each verse and what it means. I thought I would share one of my favorite parts with you all and I hope that you will take time to meditate on it and think of how good our God truly is!
"Everyday I will bless you, and I will praise Your name forever and ever. Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, and His greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of Your majesty and on Your wonderful works, I will meditate........." Psalm 145: 2-5
How easy it is to forget to worship and praise God throughout the day. Whenever I find that I need to be offering thanksgiving to the Lord but I can't think of what to be thankful for, I turn my head to look outside and take in the beauty and the scope of God's creation. How intricate each detail is, and how perfect is his design in it all. If he designed even the trees, clouds, and flowers with so much care, think of how much more precision and care went into creating us? Psalm 139 is a good one for thought about how God's lovingly creates us, but that is for another day!
Well, I'm off. I need to tackle our dining room and then to begin thinking about making dinner. We hope you all are doing well! Keep coming back for more verses, pictures, and random stories about how our life as newlyweds continues along!
May you each purposefully keep yourselves in God's rich Love, (Jude 21)
Michael and Katie
P.S. I just added a music player with some songs Michael and I have been enjoying as we unpack and put each thing in its own place. We hope it blesses your heart and it has ours!
Hi, Katie and MIchael! I enjoy your updates and feel the excitement with you as you get unpacked and settled in. I know you guys are loving married life and it's so neat to see God blessing you as you begin this new chapter in your lives together.
ReplyDeleteWe want to have you guys over for summer sometime! This week is VBS at church, so we're crazy busy, but I'll touch base and see if we can get something on the calendar soon!
Ha, I meant, we want to have you over for supper, not summer. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat would be great, Jaime! We would love that! I've been praying for you! Hope all is well and that your staying cool in this wonderful texas summer heat :)
