Hey From Nathan

Hey all.. This is Nathan.. This is my first time actually writing a blog so i have no idea how this all works.. but anywho ash says i should start with what's going on in my life. Well about 3 weeks ago I started a new Job, for those who know me it's not unusual for me to start a new job, i'd say i'm a pro at new jobs and change.. But this one i think my stick for a while. I started working for my father-in-law, and what can i say, It's going pretty good so far, I drive a sweet truck and I get to go 4x4ing all day, so all in all it's sweet. I know there's a lot to it.. My job title would be a Corrosion Consultant (pretty sweet title eh).
On the weekends i try to relax with my wife and just enjoy life. We usually end up at Ashley's parent's house helping out with the yard work or right now we're in the process of building a patio with a fire pit out of paving stones. With the help of my buddy Matt and Dan.. Dan is from Winnipeg the bass player from Undecided... pretty sweet.
The past few months we've really have gotten close to my buddy Matt and stim.. We usually hang out every saturday or so. I enjoy thier company and really just hanging out. Today is Stim's Grad party. She graduated from the nursing program at U of S I think.. It's pretty sweet.
But yep the month of June seem's like it's going to be a busy month. My buddy Kevin and Megan are getting married and also my Aunt Brenda is getting married the weekend after. so it seems that will be travelling all over the place.. Big time but yeah that's what's going on right now... So anyway i guess I'll sign off for now and talk to ya all later... Nathan

trying to believe....

Lately I've been really struggling with where I am at in my life. Decisions that I have been making, etc. Things that are just not in my character. I'm finding that I way to easily conform to the way that the "world" or my surroundings want me to be. I'm just at a place where I am kind of torn between where I know I should be and where I would just rather settle because it's easier. I know that I am not living my life the way that God intended me to. I think that part of that is that I am still pretty bitter with the hand He's dealt me and I don't really know where to even begin to start to deal with it. Somedays it's super easy, other days it seems unreachable. Anytime that I find myself doubting God and His plan for me, it never fails that He has this way of showing me that He is there, being Faithful and showing me constant Grace. Sometimes it's really hard to see God's Faithfulness but it's the little reminders that help.

Here's some song lyrics from a Jeremy Camp song. I don't think that it could sum up how I've been feeling lately any better. If you know me you know that music is a huge part of my life! So it's awesome when I can find a song that rings true.

Scattered words and empty thoughts
Seem to pour from my heart
I've never felt so torn before
Seems i dont know where to start
But its now i feel your grace fall like rain
From every fingertip washing away my pain

I still believe in your faithfulness
I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word
Even when I dont see I still believe

Though the questions still fog up my mind
With promises i still seem to bear
Even when answers slowly unwind
It's my heart I see you prepare
But its now that I feel your grace fall like rain
From every fingertip washing away my pain

The only place I can go is into your arms
Where I throw to you my feeble prayers in brokeness
I can see that this is your will for me
Help me to know you are near

It's an awesome song and you should all download it! Also if you could all help me out with prayers and keeping me accountable that would be awesome! I know that I was brief but there's only so much that I want to share on a blog read by who knows how many people!

Love you all and until next time....God bless!

On the Road Again...

That time of year is officially here again. I'm back at work. But this time it's pretty great so far! My husband is with me every evening, which you all know that I can't complain about! My dad is around for me to pick on, vent to, etc. It's awesome having my dad around! We are in Moose Jaw this week, which is pretty sweet. Nathan is actually out spending some time with Ryan tonight. I'm wiped from a long day so I decided not to hang out tonight! After three and a half months of not working I'm not sure that I remember how to do this! haha!

But really it's great to be back at it. I love working for my dad! I can't complain about it all that much, well not to loudly anyway.

We are going to miss being at home during the weekdays though. It'll be hard to squeeze everything in on the weekends! Sometimes not even. We are going to try and work some weekends so we'll see how that goes! I might go nuts but I'll try my best! I'll try to keep you all posted on how things are going and what we have been up to lately!

But I should get going. I'm tired and just want to sleep! So until next time... take care and God bless you!
