Wow, so much has happened since my last blog. Let's see... it has snowed 3 times. My puppy turned 3. I have legally changed my name back to maiden name. I have a great guy in my life. I saw the Trans Siberian Orchestra in concert. I have discovered that I was driving illegally in my new car of 1yr. My car was also almost stolen from me. And through it all, God has had His hand in it the whole time! He has made a Broadway out of this whole last month. He is a cool God like that.... how he writes our stories and then it just plays out.... well, here's how my story goes and it begins with.............................................................................................................................................SNOW!
well, this whole snow thing... well, I'm pretty excited about it! I just wish it would have a really, really good snow day... or week.. just once! I'm ready for it to stick so I can go sledding and make a snowman! :) 3 cheers for a white christmas please :)
And my dear, sweet, angelic, and adorable cuddly Max turned 3! I can't believe it... he's such a joy in my life - I have no idea how/where I would be without my little companion. He has been with me thru a whole lot, loving and being the sweet little guy that he is.... man, he brings so much joy to my life and the lives of my family members (especially, my papa :)!!!). I love him more than I knew I could possibly love a puppy!!!!!! He's like my own little boy :)
I must say a PRAISE to Jesus that I finally have my name back. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would be dying to be back to "Umberger" again but hahaha I've never been so grateful!
Thank you, Jesus for the provision in all of that.... I'm forever thankful!!!!!!!!! It was a pain in the butt to do, but I couldn't have asked for it to go any smoother!
Hmm.. and the great guy. What do I say about him? Poor guy!?!?! :) I can't believe he waited for me to come around! I don't think I could have asked for someone with a better heart.... I'm so thankful that there are guys out there like him, who treat women with respect and care... he is so incredibly selfless and amazing!!!! I only hope that I can be that way in return... he deserves the best that can be given, and I only hope that I can do that for him. Thank you Jesus for this unexpected surprise! :)
Speaking of the great guy... which leads me into the Trans Siberian Orchestra. HA! He took me to see it...although it wasn't anywhere near what I was expecting (i felt like I was at a rock concert) it was still incredibly enjoyable. I can still feel those butterflies fluttering around sittin next to Ian... I have to admit, I paid attention to the concert but not half as much as I could have if I hadn't of gone with him! :)
My conclusion though is that their Christmas music gives me chill bumps at how insanely talented they are at composing that stuff.... wowzers!
And the whole car thing! ughhh!!!! I can't believe someone tried to stteal it.... and at church no less! Oh, well. Finding out that my car wasn't even registered to me the next day was nuts.... cuz if it had gotten stolen then the cops would not have been able to trace my car back to me.... so, Jesus really did look out for me then! Praise the Lord!
All is well and taken care of....
Funny.. this whole time I never really saw Jesus' hand in any of it... then I thought he was totally behind the scenes but now I see that he was actually out front and center on stage!!! He has totally broadwayed my life and given me this incredible journey the last month and I couldn't be happier about the outcome. I am calling for an Jesus ENCORE!
