| UnwindingI love being a Mom, there comes this point in the evening where I look to Mike to set me free for a little me time. I love me time, though often it is filled with the house, thoughts of Rowan, books on parenting or just slamming my face in the pillow to run off to la la land, before Rowan needs my full on attention again. But tonight it is full of 2 yes 2 bowls of ice cream: ( I am about to go scoop my second bowl =) ), a little xanga and no thinking about my house, baby, or the appointment I have in the morning to do a customers hair. Instead I am relishing in all that has unraveled in these 5 months with Rowan. Let me just say, I have changed and God is sooooo good. So that is all I have to say. Not really though. I guess I am just really thankful that my life looks the way it does, not what the world would call glamorous, but amazing to me. We have all our needs provided for, we have a strong marriage, a beautiful son, amazing church family and above all else the Voice of God. My heart overflows!!! Does your heart overflow?? If not, deal with it, because He has given us sooooo much. I an m overwhelmed with how faithful He is everyday, to meet me to care for me whether it be through Mike or someone else and often just His fresh peace and Strength. Amazed at His heart and concern towards every decision I make and every truth I behold. Watching him challenge my innermost being on what I believe on so many issues, do i believe that because He has revealed it to me, or because I was taught it, who was I taught it by? Society, family, leadership??? How do any of these sources mesure up to Him? Now with all that, learning to be confident in these many new ways and roles and Trusting in His voice alone. Funny that I always end up here in every new season. His voice alone. It cuts through all the lies and all the insecurities to bring Truth and redemptive power. To redeem all that has been lost by man's wisdom, oh how I crave his alone. Just some thoughts. love and miss so many of you, hope all is well. we are fabulous!!! Merry Christmas, since me time, probably won't consist of xanga for a long time!! | | |
| Hey all check out my new family blog site, pictures of the baby! http://reuwerfamily.blogspot.com/ | | |
| So I am officially a new Mom, with no internet so others are posting pictures for us. My sister in law has taken these and let me just say we have the cutest little boy you'll ever see, it may be in the eyes of the beholder. Mommy life is great, full of all the tiredness and emotion you hear about and let me say I can not believe how much in a moment I have changed from a women to a Mother, can't believe my ability to worry and love this deeply. Learning to lean on and draw from the Holy Spirit in all the brand new paths of Motherhood.
July 4th at 11:59, 8lbs. 9 oz. and His Dr. Daddy delivered him in the car in the hospital parking lot. CRAZY!!!! but a great experience for us both. His daddy is the Best!!!

| UPDATING I am not really sure where to start. Life has been full, FULL, FULL, in a really great way. As most know I am due this July with our second son, thankfully this one we get to have and to hold here for a while. We miss Evan everyday and wish that He was here to be a big brother, but God has other plans that are perfect and we continually stand in awe at all his Perfect ways.
I am excited, sometimes overwhelmed at the changes taking place, and in the same breath counting these last weeks until we are parents. Rowan Elisha Reuwer is the name we have chose, Rowan is a type of tree whose roots are known for growing strong in any type of soil. God gave me the proverb that says, " Hope deferred makes the heart grow sick but a desire met is a tree of life." As a promise during this pregnancy and we chose Rowan not knowing the full meaning, but is brillant how God interweaves His promises in our lives. Elisha is based on another promise from God for us, He spoke to me of our second son knowing a dual annointing because of Evan going before him, and so just as Elisha knew the annointing he was given with the addition of Elijah's. That's our Boy, I love that God speaks and destines names and purpose even within our womb.
We currently are seeing the blessing of God in meeting desires with in our hearts in so many ways. This is a season full of desires being met. Mike and I closed on the house that we have prayed for and watched for over a year, it needs lots of work, as it was not lived in for 2 years. We have invaluable friends here in the body who are putting forth all there expertise to help us acoomplish success. It is so exciting, Mike is loving the hard work and the learning of so many skills. Hoping to move in mid to late June, have enough time to get minimally organized and add Rowan to life.
Mike received Assistant Management position at Starbuck's this March, this was a goal of his and the first career path he has ever loved. We are so excited to be a part of them and love the company dynamics. God has blown him out of the water in all the ways that He has shown his daily concern and blessing on the store he works at. It is so beautiful that God cares about our moment to moment lives and he is so involved in all the outworking and desires of our hearts.
On a really raw note, it is easy to see only in this moment and to feel the overwhelming emotion of one moment and to forget HoW GREAT our GOD is. Thankfully our heart reminds us and worships our creator and enjoys the goodness of He who is exceedingly greater, forever Faithful and full so full of great Love!!! Vanity can take hold in pregnancy and aI can forget the beauty of this Season, the voice of God will reassure me and beckon me to rejoice and lay aside my fears of and ideas of true beauty and I am again drawn deeper into the heart of Him and relieved that LIFE IS MORE PRECIOUS.
I love you all and hope that God is doing new and beautiful works in your heart and for those of you where this time is winter, Hold on because He created the SEASONS as pictures of what is to come, SPRING is coming for you and shortly there after HOPE and New LIFE.

| back to life, back to realityThe holidays were a whirlwind and we left the 2nd of january for California. Donny and Amy Querin's wedding was the focal point for the week. It was a great trip, a little bit colder than I anticipated, but full of gifts and treasures from God. Some highlights included, watching Amy and Donny in action, they are really a perfect fit, Amy has added a greatness to Donny that I am still unable to fully word, but it is so astonishing how God can meld two people so beautifully. Seeing Mike and Donny together again after years apart was a mysterious miracle and such a treasure, because God is perfect in His timing. Sharing breakfast with Donny at Kady's, what a delicious treat to encourage one another and share God's goodness. Then there was my day with Amy and Cynthia at the Salon, oh I love those girls. Amy, I fell in love with her, southern charm yet confident, rarity was the generous gift God put in her, she is beautiful in all ways. Cynthia was a divine gift, so unexpected but full of wisdom, grace and joy. Then there were those other unepected friendships, people you feel like you've known all your life yet just met, it's amazing how deep and quick the joining of God happens. Corey and Kristen, beautifully balanced and amazingly Trusting in God's greatness. Allison, such a beauty, I love her. All and all it was a famous trip inmy heart and my head, once again God proves himself faithful in every way possible, I love it! On to other paths. Let's just say we are excited about all the paths ahead. Our baby looks perfect and we'll find out soon if we are having a boy or girl. We started the hunt for a house and found 2 that fit our heart's desire, just need God to work out all the details.Which we trust He will. God has been speaking to us personal and I believe as a whole Church about vision and where we fix our eyes. Not in a generic term either, like I have vision for the future. More on a very practical level, what are we comitted to seeing our lives produce for the Kingdom and for ourselves? Mike and I dove in last night as a couple to what we feel God has envisioned us for and how we feel we are being Faithful to that vision. It was sooooooo good and today I am challenged still by the Faith that God has built into our hearts and what that requires of us everyday. I feel we are constantly learning to ask God for His perfect will in every circumstance we would be prone to depend on our own wisdom. He loves to be invited to help us take the right path. It is so easy to ask God for His help and Wisdom in big areas, because we know not what else to do, but in the smaller everyday are we forgetting to ask, cause those are the ones we need the real help in knowing vision and victory. Mike and I see this in a couple areas of our lives, where we will make a plan and then detour from the plan because of circumstances, instead of asking God to step in and fill us with Faith. So together we are committed to growing and focusing on Him. Love to all.
