Today, August 15th is a significant day for me. It's a day that will forever remind that God is always faithful and is always good, even when His ways are not my ways.
Two years ago today (Aug. 15, 2009) I left behind everything familiar to start a new home, in a new city, as a new mom. It was a dark and hard time for me. Nothing inside of me wanted to move to Fort Worth. I was happy as could be in my nice little life in College Station and was not on board with moving. Thankfully, I wasn't in charge. The move from CS to FW was definitely a pivotal point in my relationship with the Lord. I learned to cling to Him and trust Him more than I ever had to before. The days were long and lonely at the beginning, but continually, graciously He showed me glimpses of His faithfulness and goodness. I'm so thankful that He brought us to Cityview Church. We have fallen in love with this place and our family here. We have learned so much from the teaching of the gospel message here. I fallen more deeply in love with Jesus because of the people and friendships we have made here. HE IS GOOD.
One year ago today (Aug. 15,2010) I found out I was pregnant with another little baby. This was a hard day for me as I was still grieving the loss of Baby Joy and not expecting to be pregnant again so soon. It was a day mixed with joy and sadness. I now sit here with a precious 3.5 month old sweet baby boy. Who knew I could love another little boy so much?
My heart is full of thanks today. Thankful that in His kindness God has shown me His faithfulness in such tangible ways over the past 2 years. Thankful that even on the hard, dark days He has never left me, but has graciously, lovingly been there to whisper His love and faithfulness towards me.

Sweet Erin! How I love you and your commitment to your Father! I am so thankful for the ways he continues to work in your heart, and for the many ways that you bring glory to His name! You certainly make the gospel attractive! I love you more than words can say : )

Thanks for this. I move from Cypress/Navasota in a week and I'm not happy about it either. I do know it is the right decision, I just don't like it. : )Much love!
Thank you precious friend for your honesty. I love seeing how our faithful Lord has gently taken care of you and in that has given me a dear friend! He is so good and His glory is obvious in the Mosier family! Love you!
Hard lessons to learn, but you've drawn closer to the Lord, and that's what He wants when we go through difficult days. You have grown into a beautiful young woman with the beauty of the Lord in your countenance. We are so very proud of you. God continues to work in us even when we're old and gray. Love you very much.
