Ruts

Lately...Life has felt like a rut. I have had such a great year of marriage but the year for myself, has left me dissappointed. It's almost been a year since I graduated from college. In this year, I got married, started my first job, got a puppy, moved, started training for a marathon, and learned ALOT about being a wife. Jeff and I have taken some amazing trips, seen friends in different states, made amazing new friends, and really established some great traditions in the Douthit house.

I am so grateful for all of those things, but dissappointed that I have grown luke warm in my time with the Lord and my dedication to it. It has shown in my friendships, my marriage, and even my life. I am normally this organized person, full of systems, lists, clean clean everything, and lately I can find any of that. I think God took me through this for such a great reason, and I love learning all that he has for me in this rough season of my life. Its starting to unfold, and I am so excited to share this when it all pans out but until I am praying for the Lord to give me strength to get out of this rut. Blessings are all around me, my husband being the biggest one of all. He has the biggest heart and leads me to desire the Lord. He has such a passion for discovering God's plan for us and I cant believe I get to spend my life with him.

I am finding joy in this struggle because for the first time in a year almost I am truly seeking the Lord's plan for me, Dana, wife, and child of Him.
