I’ve been busy packing up our house because we are moving back to Dallas, so I apologize for my lack of blog posts lately.

But as a Mama, I will have an endless supply of cute pictures of my kids! So that totally qualifies for {too cute!} Tuesday, right?!

Have You Heard?!

Grey Chevron

Greg and I are excited to announce that….

 

Grey Chevron

 

Yesterday, Greg received the phone call that we have been praying for- the opportunity to transfer back to DFW- back home. Effective June 1st, Greg will become the LifeWay store manager at the Flower Mound location. We have enjoyed our time in Texarkana and God has been good to us while we have served this community over the last 5 years. We have made some incredible friends along the way and we will miss everyone dearly. But we are THRILLED to be moving closer to family!

I want to especially thank those who have covered our family in prayer while Greg and I were making this decision. You may never know, this side of heaven, just how much that meant to us and it is my hope that you can feel the gratitude and emotion in my words as I type this. Thank You.

{He Speaks to Me} On My Emotions

feelings quote

 

There is so much going on behind the scenes in my life right now. If I am not careful… if I don’t guard my emotions, I find that I can easily become overwhelmed.

When I’m overwhelmed… I begin to doubt.

I start doubting my motives. I start doubting God’s motives. I doubt other people’s motives. I doubt God’s goodness and His provision.  I doubt that He is working out all things to my good. I begin to doubt that I am hearing from Him at all. On and on I spiral into a cycle of doubt and despair. And this, my friends, is exactly what the enemy wants. He wants me to doubt. He wants me to feel overwhelmed. He wants me to live in fear. He wants me to distrust God.

When I allow my thoughts and feelings to go unchecked; I quickly forget who God is and what He is capable of. 

Yes, there is a lot of uncertainty going on in my life right now. Yes, the future can be scary. Yes, I feel as though I have little to no control over the circumstances in front of me. But that is why I need to cling to God’s Sovereignty all the more and allow that truth to cover me.

feelings quote

Will you please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers?

Hey, y’all!

I hope you are having a fabulous week so far. I know I am!

She is adorable and I’m really enjoying getting to know her. She has been a joy to work with to say the least and she’s been incredibly supportive as I get used to being a working mama again- trying to balance work/home/and a blog. I think y’all will fall in love with her! So here’s Kelly:

Hi! My name is Kelly. I want to first of all, thank Megan for giving me the opportunity to share about Sweetly Creative with all of you!

I’ve even had a few clients send me pictures with the products in use and it always brings a smile to my face! I love to see how creative people can be! Plus Pinterest is always there to help inspire!

El Roi

This blog post was actually from my former blog but I wanted to share it with all of you because it speaks directly to our current situation. Praise be to the God Who continually sees. 
Friends, there is so much on my heart that I wish to share with you! However, while I have been sitting in the Lord’s Presence this week, He continually whispers, “Not yet, Dear One. Not yet.” So, because  He has asked me to wait {that word keeps cropping up a LOT here lately} I am relying on Him to grant me an added portion of restraint, because for me, waiting is exceedingly difficult.
That being said, I sense in my spirit that there is a message that the Lord wishes for me to share with you today. That someone, somewhere, needs to hear these words.
“I see you, My child.
 
 I have not forgotten you. 
I know that your present circumstances would suggest otherwise, but that could not be further from the truth. Do not allow the enemy a stronghold.
 
I AM near. 
 
I see your hurt.
 I see your pain. 
 
I have captured every tear that you have ever cried, and I hold them in My hands. 
Do not despair, for I AM with you- always. Hold fast to that promise. 
 
I will never leave you. 
I will never forsake you. 
 
You are Mine. 
 
I chose you as My own before I laid the foundations of the earth. I knew you, intimately, while you were yet in your mother’s womb. 
 
I know your heart, dear one, and it is good. 
 
Cry out to Me and I will hear you, for I AM never far away.
 
I AM El Roi- the God Who Continually Sees.
 
I see you. 
Right where you are. 
Do not lose heart.”
 
Lord Jesus,
I pray that Your words would be received by the one whom this message was intended for. But that it will also serve as a reminder to the rest of us that You Are Near- that You indeed See us right where we are.

My Cuteness This Week:

 

So, we were in Target yesterday getting a gift for a birthday party we were attending later in the day, when I had to stop and drool over the shoe section. And this is only a handful of the adorable shoes that I found! Ohhh em gee!!! I died. I need to start saving my money so that I can replace at least my VS wedges. They bit the dust last summer. Insert sad face here.

What do you think?! Aren’t they CUTE?!!!

Weekend Recap

Mother's Day KLR giveaway

Weenkend Recap

 

 

Our weekend in a nutshell:

IMG_2410

We spent the entire weekend working in the yard. My body feels as though I endured an entire 6 week round of P90X crammed into two days. I can barely walk. But it felt great to spend the entire weekend doing something productive. We still have more to do in the planters, but it will have to wait until next pay period. Plants can get expensive! My goodness!
