life update. :)

When we got married, we wanted to get people together, and eat dinner and read the bible, and talk about God, and life and such. Yesterday, was the 3rd bible study we have had, and it was awesome! we had fresh out of the oven pizza and cookies, and there was some hummus, (of couse. ) and some salsa, and some laughter and good talking about the Lord. We had a few new people come over, it was so refreshing! The Lord is so good! We are reading 1st John...its been a hard book to go through,(and we are only in the 2nd chaperter!!)  but its been awesome!! We love that people want to come over and just hang out, eat and read the bible with us.

The Lord has really been moving in our hearts personally pulling out all that nasty stuff no one wants to see or admit they have. While its been hard, and I (Haley) can't get though one day with out busting into to tears, Its been the best time I have had with the Lord in awhile. (and Cory has been awesome in all this, as we walk out this stuff as one, and not as two.) The life in both of us that was pushed down and covered up, and lost breath...is coming back up in us...and let me tell you, it is scary!!! Its also so exciting at the same time.  Letting the Lord get in your face, like He did with Adam and breath all up in your face...awesome!! The hunger in us is coming back up! its great!

Being married and being able to go through life with  your best friend is something we will both always be super thankful for.  Having that safe place, where you are going to be loved, no matter what, that this other person you share life with, is safe. and holds your heart, and holds you up in the Lord. BEST THING EVER! :)

Being able to do a bible with people, not leading, just providing the place and some dinner, has really helped us grow and stir the hunger and life back in us, even if just one person shows up, it stirs all of hearts up. and it gives glory to God.  We are thankful. Very thankful.

Thank you to all those who love us, and have been there for us, and pray for us, and laugh with us, and cry with us.  we love you. more than you know. thanks for sticking by us.
