Big Change!

So if you guys haven't heard the news yet, Tyrell and I are expecting a baby boy!!! I'm truly amazed at God's grace and I still have a hard time believing that this is really happening. Though this is such an amazing blessing, I'm also bumping against some challenges. From morning sickness, tiredness and the lack of energy to discouragement, feeling overwhelmed and misunderstood. I just don't have the same energy that I use to have anymore. I'm always tired and the idea of going to work weekly is weighing me down more than ever. I'm also finding it very hard to manage the home and work outside of the home at the same time. I wish I could devote the little energy I have to our home. It took a while but I am really ready to stay at home and exercise my role as a woman. I just cannot do both and I'm thankful for a husband who wants me to stay home. Just 3 more months to go and I can't wait. So far, I've gained over 10 pounds and most of my clothes don't fit but on the positive side I'm feeling my little boy kick already! That's truly a blessing during these trying times. So many changes going on right now but I must remain in prayer. A wonderful journey awaits. May God's Will Be Done!

3 1/2 months married ^_^

Almost 2 months married!

Most ask us this question : "How does it feel?" Well surprisingly I don't feel any different... I'm just thankful made our marriage possible and blessed us as much as he has. It's been awesome having Tyrell around but we haven't really had time to just sit and plan things. We have a strong desire to share the Gospel and make disciples but it's been hard to plan an event or time to go out together so we've been in the hands the Lord. we consider everyday as sacred and we pray to be used by the Lord for His glory. Our prayer for 2012 is that we would witness many coming to the saving faith of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of mankind. May the Lord have His way!

Thank You Everyone!!!

Tyrell Officially Proposed!!! ^_^

Today was an amazing day filled with many obstacles and rich blessings from the Lord. Yesterday Tyrell told me  he wanted to take me on a date but he didn't want to tell me where to meet him, he wanted me to figure it out. The Hint was "Meet me somewhere special, it can be dark, it can be scary, but just remember that Seriah was talked about here." When I heard this, I immediately thought of the woods in his old neighborhood. This morning Tyrell woke me up saying he couldn't wait to see me. On my way to this special spot, Tyrell left pink notes sharing his love for me on electric poles and just random things outside so I had to keep an eye out for the pink slips. Finally when I made it to the woods, I walk in and found a gift with my name on it with directions not to open it and to leave the woods for he wasn't there. I continued walking and found another pink slip at a playground and it said to look for him. I had no idea where he was. Finally after looking around I found him! He was so happy to see me. Still confused about what's going on we sat down and the gift he had made for me was a book with verses to help me in my walk with the Lord. I read each page out loud and when I got to the last page it said

"DO NOT FEAR, OBEY THE LORD, TRUST IN HIS PROMISES, AND HE WILL BRING THEM TO PASS. WALK INTO HIS OCEANS WITH TOTAL ABANDON. DROWN IN HIS LOVE WITH NO RESERVATION."

I'm reading this and I'm thinking it's another verse when I look to see where it says that in the bible I saw

"Marie-Marthe will you waste your life with me?" referring to the song "I will waste my life" by Misty Edwards

And I started screaming, not believing what was taking place. He got down on one knee as I was screaming in disbelief and I said YES!!!! ^_^ I was soooo happy, I started tearing up. Our wedding is in 9 days and he labored and still blessed me with a beautiful engagement ring. God is sooo good and I am so thankful for God's provision. He later took me out to eat and spent the day with me until I had to leave for work =)

Ahhh!! The Website is officially up!

This is so exciting! Yet so crazy!!! It's been a hard year and although times were tough and I've shed many tears God sustained us both. This is such a hard time and I wish my circumstances were different but I thank God for simply being God. He is Sovereign, He is not moved. Therefore I will trust in Him.

Finally we started premarital counseling. Pastor Taylor, a reformed pastor that we respect has opened up his church to us, along with doing premarital counseling and the wedding. I am paying $75 for using the place but that's it. Sounds great doesn't it? But in the midst of that lots of crazy things are happening. I'm  currently a full time student and I'm also working a part time job. My job is about 1 hour and a half on the metro and requires for me to spend about $35 a week. My job has been going though lots of changes. This is my fourth week and I just now received a paycheck. I'm behind on my credit bills and my loan companies are writing me about past due dates not knowing that I'm still in school and need a deferment. I am beyond overwhelmed right now. My head hurt and I'm tempted not to submit to Tyrell's leadership anymore. I want to take matters into my own hands but even doing so what can I accomplish by such a task. I don't know what to do. I really need Christ to intervene, give me wisdom and provide for us. We have nothing and we're getting in more and more debt.
