June was fun.
June was busy.
Can't believe its over.
This year has gone by so fast.
God has been teaching and growing us.
He has been teaching me a lot about being content in him ALONE and that he promises all things are for my good. Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose." This is a common thing I have read over and over, but is a hard thing for me to daily believe. I think its easy to ask "if things are for my good, why does bad happen or why does things happen that I don't want."But who am I to question God? Instead I want to glorify God with the things I have now, that I don't deserve anyways. Its ALL for my good.... MY good! I can put my trust in that. "No good thing does God withhold from those who walk with integrity." (Ps. 84:11)
I just finished reading "Don't waste your life" by John Piper. Very good read, I would recommend it! In the book piper says 1.2-1.4 billion people have never had a access to the Gospel. WOW. How can I read those stats and forget about it. I want to give. I want to serve. I want to go. I want to love on someone unreached people in the name of Christ.
Ok, here is what has been going on in the Stanley life:
Our 2 year anniversary was May 29th, but we didn't take an anniversary trip until June 8th-10th. We stayed at this bed and breakfast resort in Castroville near San Antonio. I found the hotel on Groupon for really cheap with a $50 spa credit. What girl doesn't want spa credit! We spent some chill time at the pool, went to the River walk for dinner, and then went shopping at Dick's sporting goods! It was such an awesome time together! Matthew Stanley is definitely a blessing beyond what I could imagine!
On July 23rd, we had a surprise 80th party for my Mema! Celebrating 80 years of life! Wow!
On June 28th my wonderful daddy-o turned 56! I personally think he looks awesome for 56 and definitely doesn't act 56! haha I am so blessed to call this man my dad!
June 25th - 28th I went as a sponsor to Kids Kamp with our church. I am in awe that God gave me the opportunity to go. Thankful that God equips the called, but doesn't always call the equipped. I had 5th grade girls in my cabin, they were SO fun! I love the camp scene. My heart belongs there and not in an office.
Between kids kamp and Matt's golf trip we were only together for 5 hours out of those 7 days, the longest we have been apart! I could NOT be an army wife.
June was good.
Now on to July and we have lots planned.
