Our Little Leap of Faith

The days are winding down and we're officially two weeks away from our long haul home. This summer has been by far the longest, hardest, hottest and the absolute BEST one I could have asked for... For Austin and I, it's been our little adventure on our own, growing together, meeting new people, exploring a new (and big!) city and of course working hard. With that being said, the most amazing part about this summer would be the complete increase in faith that has peaked in my life. We started this summer by taking a leap of faith that Houston is where we needed to be and through our never ending roller coaster of a summer, The Lord never failed us. From us completely failing at sales to a miserably hot work routine and all the many, many bumps that happened in between, let's just say it's been far from easy. However, with that being said everything miraculously seemed to work out. At the end of each day our faith never wavered and now at the end of the summer our blessings are countless. It's truly amazing how we started out in May with only material, earthly rewards in mind and now at the end of the road, the rewards are so much more than that. 

I mean, how great is it that us newlyweds were able to work together as a team all day long? How great is it that we were able to learn so much about not only each other but ourselves individually? How great is it that the strangers we've met have turned into meaningful and long lasting friendships? How great is it that we were able to learn humility in the best way possible, by acknowledging our complete and grateful dependence on The Lord for everything we've both accomplished and failed at this entire journey. I am truly so appreciative for our hardships this summer and the outcomes of them... Because of them my testimony continues to grow on a daily. But above all... How great is that even through the hard times, there was an undeniable fullness to my life and I found myself completely and utterly happy knowing my Father in Heaven was and continues to be on our side every step of the way. He's just waiting for us to take that leap of faith, trust in the road He has in store, and run with it...
