My Year So Far

2009 is in full swing and I am being blown away!

I decided that I was going to read the entire Bible in 2009.  It is something that I have never done and it is a BIG challenge for me.  So I logged onto my YouVersion account to take part in their New Year's Resolution - Read the Whole Bible!  And I am having a blast reading.  I am currently going through the books of Genesis, Psalm, and Matthew.  It is amazing to see how each book actually fits together in God's plans for His people (I will post more on this later).

Cyndi and I have been so blessed by friend's and family already this year.  In just a few short weeks we are going to be welcoming either Micaiah Jacob Brown or Peyton Renee Lee Brown into our home.  The blessings of clothes, crib, car seats, etc. are just so overwhelming.  We see how God truly works everything out for His good and I cannot wait to meet this little one that God is entrusting us with.

I'm also working on a project in which I need the help of anyone and everyone who is married. I am looking for your comments/stories/observations in married life that could be relayed to individuals just starting out in their first year of marriage.   They can be funny stories, serious moments, things that you have learned along the way, etc.  ANYTHING!  You can either post them in a response to my blog or email me, facebook me, or twitter to me!

I am having so much fun and have already been blessed in 2009...I cannot wait to see what GOD is going to do this year!
