Blog Failure?

January 21 to July 16. 

Half a year. 

I didn't get on here to write about the big things.... buying a house, moving to a new country, having a baby, leading lots of people to the Lord.... 

Oh wait- those things didn't happen! Maybe that's why I didn't get on here to write. 

From January until July- 

I went to work every day- interpreted elementary school for two precious students. I jumped rope with little girls, praised artwork, had Gospel conversations with two first graders time and time again, got to know co workers, co-wrote and co-directed a play/musical, taught hearing kids how to better communicate and understand deaf culture.... 

nope- nothing big enough to blog about there. 

Cody and I lived six more months of marriage- praising the Lord for growing us in praying together, and also going through more weeks and months of struggling to pray and study the Word together. We went for walks, wrestled with our Piper, planted a square foot garden, laughed a lot, cooked meals, worshiped with our Immanuel family, read books.... We spent countless hours with our best-friend-couple... eating meals, playing games, watching movies, doing life. 

I got licensed to teach Zumba! 

I learned how to do bookbinding and have made four handmade journals from scratch. 

I took my National Interpreters Certification Performance exam in March- STILL going crazy as I wait awaiting results patiently.... 

Over the past six months we went to concerts performed by friends, watched friends graduate college, visited with friends from Colorado, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Grenada, Indiana, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and more I'm sure, celebrated family's birthdays, welcomed home church families who adopted kids, praised the Lord with joy over pregnancies of friends, labored in prayer for the salvation of family members....

I traveled to North Carolina to visit my sister and have a mini road trip with Celia. 

Cody and I traveled with Celia and Felix to New York City and spent a wonderful week walking, seeing, eating, and walking some more, soaking in as much of the city as we could hold.

All in all- six months of little things, of day in and day out things. Month after month of things that I don't feel like I should blog about- that no one really cares about. 

But this is life. These little things DO add up- 

A Gospel conversation with a neighbor is important- because God's Word accomplishes the purpose for which He sent it. 

A game night with friends is a memory I'll always have and cherish. 

Laying the hammock with my husband after work is now part of who I am...

And so- yeah, nothing "big enough to blog about" happened the past six months- but thousands of little moments did indeed happen, and each one plays a part in who I am now; in what my life is, was, and will be. 

Sorry I didn't blog about any of it- but then, isn't that the kind of life I want to live? The kind that is so full of little, day in and day out goodness that I can't put my finger on any one topic to blog about- but instead just go on living in the joy of it all? I'll take that :)
