I have been doing a lot of thinking about this blog, and where I want it to go. I have also been thinking a lot about my personal life and noticed that something was missing. I believe in both situations one thing that was missing was including my faith. It has been something Gary and I have both been avoiding, and we are now getting on track.
One improvement that we have been doing is a bible study together. This series is from a Lifechurch in OKC. I highly recommend this church if you don't have a church family. They are online and have so many different times to watch.
We have started doing a bible study together (of course, from LifeChurch) called From This Day Forward. We are working on reading the bible together every night but that discipline didn't last very long. It is a great reminder to put God first in our marriage as well as studying the bible and applying to our everyday life.
Something that I am doing on my own is from the Changed series. I had printed this packet off a while ago, but just haven't put the effort into it. From the very first week I know that this would be great series! I am excited to share with you what I have learned, and hopefully it inspires and motivates you as well. The biggest thing that Pastor Craig preaches the first week is below.
Because I have decided to follow Christ,
I HAVE been CHANGED.
I HAVE been CHANGED.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here! --2 Corinthians 5:17
I am a disciple of Christ. My life is not my own. I've been bought with a price. I belong to him. I will live like he lived. I will love like he loved. I will do what he did. I am his disciple.
When you know you are you will know what to do.
Next week: God's Word
Love this so much! Parker and I have been working on praying more together and talking about our faith more outwardly as a couple, and we are amazed at how much closer it has brought us. Love this new series!

I'm so glad you and your husband have found this way to connect with one another and with the Lord. It's such a blessing when our marriage is grounded in our faith!
