so my life has been increasingly crazy this past month or so if you couldn’t tell by the lack of postings. the beginning of Oct was spiritually a rough patch for me, as I’m sure you all know I was ready for some answers and was not getting them which after over a year of praying and waiting I found myself in some MAJOR frustration! Don’t worry He still hasn’t answered the things I’m dying to know about my life, but I have a peace knowing that He is moving in and through my life right now, He knows the future and even though I still want to know, that is enough. The end of October brought many things, a wedding in which my best friend and I actually took a good picture together- haha
a reunion of friends and their precious little families- we have not all been together in over 2 years if not more!!!
Courtney, Cassie, Me, and Charlotte
Cadence and Abyela- they’re growing SO fast!!!
and of course one of my favorite holidays simply because you can dress up crazy and everyone doesn’t stare at you weird, Halloween. I struggled with costume ideas this year, I don’t like to buy them, I like to create them so here’s what I came up with when I pulled every bright thing out of my room and put it all together:)
November brought more fun times, the first of which was VERY unexpected. I’d like to title this section ”Out with the old, In with the new” I’ll let the pictures speak for them selves…
OLD
NEW
Yes that’s right ladies and gentlemen, I, Denae Johnson, am the proud new owner of nice car! The beast just wasn’t cutting it anymore, it’s days were numbered. God totally provided with this car, 2005- I know, it’ looks brand new right!?!! Scion XA- scion is it’s own company, but started by toyota so all the parts from the engine to the roof are toyota, that means it will run for-eh-ver! Praise the Lord for a dependable car!!! The other thing is, it’s a standard, so yes that means I’m having to recall the glory days of learning to drive on my dad’s old piece of a truck, those of you who remember that truck know what i am talking about. I’m LOVING it!! There are days when I wonder if I will ever fully get the hang of the stick shift, but then I just count my blessings for a car that I can actually leave Granbury in!
Next stop on our journey through Denae’s life… the weekend of Nov 13-15, aka, the weekend EVERYTHING happened! starting with a text about 8:30 saying Naomi Kim Patterson had arrived!!
I appreciated that she came on a weekend that was convenient for me! From there I headed to Dallas for Laura (not Grant)’s wedding, it was beautiful and so great to see friends I haven’t seen in a while. Love these guys despite their uncanny ability to “beautify” pictures…
and then I rounded off the weekend by seeing some friends in from New Braunfels for their daughters surgery. The Postits, love you guys!!
Well that bout wraps up our Tour de Denae. Right now I am working a temp job in Stephenville with a lady from church, it’s very interesting, but will probably finish up next week I would imagine, then who knows. I’ve had a couple job offers, so far nothing has panned out the way I have hoped, but He is in control so I know the right thing will come along at the right time and it will be SO sweet when it does! Got to take part in a Disciple Now weekend with the youth at my church this weekend, don’t have any pictures, but it was such a great time of fellowship and renewal. The jr/sr girls rocked! It’s such a blessing to me to have these girls in my life, I pour into them, they challenge me, just the way the body is suppose to function, gotta love it! Thanks for loving me and caring about my life! Please continue to be in prayer for the next step for me… while I’m waiting I will serve and worship Him.
