What I Learned Last Night

Last night my husband and I were driving home from having dinner with my parents and my sweet sister who is in town from Arizona. We were talking about my family, how much we love them, and the craziness that is the Leonard family. I mentioned something about our finances, and my precious husband, he just started talking to me, little did he know he was calming me. He was reassuring me that I don't need to worry. We both work hard, really hard. We both love our jobs and we are faithful, hard workers. We are at a special place in our lives. We don't rely on anyone to support us, {except for my dad who puts me on the costco business card so we have costco access, thanks dad.} We don't have any children, we both have relatively new cars in great condition, a beautiful apartment that we love, and we are paying off student loans. We are actually doing really well. Jonny has this way of calming me down, and I am so grateful for him. The learning part is what happened next...

So Long to the Try Hard Life

Today's blog is sponsored by the lovely voice of Jenn Johnson & Bethel worship, alongside the Jillian Michaels detox water sitting on my desk half drunk. Drank? I don't know. I'm no English major. Clearly. The past few days have been a real struggle for me. I've wanted to sleep, and hide from the world. I kind of succeeded at it, until our community group time last night. I just need to take a moment, I want to thank, {by name} the beautiful people in our community group~ Beej & TK ~ Hannah & Joey ~ Jamal & Christine ~ Stephany & Shane ~   Mark & Reba ~ Mandy & Gregg.  Each of you have abundantly blessed me in this season of my life. The girls have prayed without ceasing for this weary heart and I am not sure I could do without them. They are a blessing that neither Jonny or I expected. I love every moment we spend laughing together, praying together and reading and discussing God's word together. Each moment is so precious to me,
