Well hello there, everyone!
In last week's Sunday Style post, I ended with this... "So much happened yesterday. Something I've been hoping and praying for happened, and I still can't quite believe it. I can't give any details at this time, but suffice to say that the Lord is so good to me!"

My dear blog readers and friends, it is my delight, privilege, and honor to introduce you to Hank...
As of April 1st, Hank and I are courting! *confetti*
Actually, you've already met Hank on my blog. Not only is he my special friend, he's my sheep shearer. Which is very handy, indeed. *smile*
For about two years, I have been praying and seeking the Lord's will, hoping that someday this would happen. There was a time when it seemed like it never would, but the Lord continued to give me hope. And now that we are courting, I can't quite believe it. How are you supposed to react when everything you want most is suddenly handed to you? I am so blessed...and having a hard time finding the words to fully express what I want to say. I didn't stop smiling, crying, laughing, and shaking all at the same time for several days. And I will never stop praising my Heavenly Father for His love and faithfulness. God is so good!
During these past several years, He has taught me so many things that I couldn't have learned any other way. To let go of my own will and desires and put them in His hands. He is the beginning and the end. He knows me inside and out. He's got this. I learned that the only thing I cannot live without, is Jesus. Also, water and food. As much as I want something, the only thing I truly need is Him. I learned to trust in Him, delight in Him, and commit my way to Him. I am by no means done learning these lessons, but I thank Him for giving me the opportunity to grow through this. I pray that I will continue to seek His face and will during this new season of my life.
Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
Psalm 37:3-5
Happy Trails, y'all!
