God is Good

One of my most favorite songs is by the Nashville Tribute Band, it goes like this:

"God is good! Yeah, God is good.
We've come so much farther than we thought we could,
Keep walking now.
God is good! Yeah, God is good.
One more mile behind us, yeah God is good."

This song is my anthem and my reality. I know God lives! He is my father, and my friend.
But recently I've gotten to thinking that I don't share that truth often enough.

From February 2013 to August 2014 I kept a blog of my experiences growing closer to God and telling the people of Gig Harbor, Washington and Rosario, Argentina about him as I traveled and preached as a missionary. It was such a fulfilling experience, and brought me so much joy to share my experiences with my family, friends, and strangers through my blog hermanamikayla.blogspot.com

While reflecting on that blogging experience, I felt hungry to keep sharing the reality of God's love and influence in my life. His watchcare and involvement in my life didn't begin on my mission nor end with it's completion. God is good to me, all the time.

Like my mission blog, my husband Kevin and I intend to keep this blog as an opportunity for us to share the guiding hand of God in our everyday lives. As you read we hope you'll recognize the hand of God in your life and feel of his love for you, too.

All our Love,
The Johnsons

The Problem with Chick Flicks.

I really, really, really enjoy a select few movies that I willingly watch over and over again. Pride and Prejudice is one of them. You see, Elizabeth's defense of her family, her sense of self respect, her ability to admit that she was wrong and to appreciate Darcy despite all his quirks, and quizzical brow-ness... it's marvelous. My husband doesn't share the sentiment, could you tell? ... and that's okay. There's rare a chick flick I enjoy near as much as I enjoy Pride and Prejudice or A Walk To Remember , and I wanted to explain why. You see, there's more than just a few problems with (many, not all) chick flicks:  (and if you have a chick flick that escapes many of these pitfalls then please oh please leave it's title in the comment section!) The heroine (or suitor) is less than honorable. I have a hard time rooting for a girl to get a gentleman when she's spending her time being scandalously loose with other men ( #thenotebook) . An...

Where's Number Three

A neighbor in her mid-thirties. A woman in her seventies. Their single commonality? They both asked me: Where's number three? I have a son, his name Charlie And then McKay, he's not quite three In my heart, both fit perfectly Yet others ask: Where's number three? Perhaps it's that I miscarried, My spouse's infidelity, The ache of infertility, A battle raging mentally, Illness on a crippling spree, Our family is complete, maybe. The reason's one or more of these, Yet you dare ask: Where's number three? In this question, running free Are judgements, jeering icily "You're not enough, Mik, can't you see? Buck up and give us number three!" I used to flounder, squirm, agree Or curl up small, cry, and plead. With time, I've seen things differently. I won't explain for number three. The questions of maternity Are just between my spouse and me And Parents, guiding Heavenly So please don't ask: Where's number three? Artwork Credit: Be...

Ponyta

So Kevin got to my blog before I did today 😂 He wrote it from my perspective. This is what he wrote (all of it accurate, admittedly): "Today I lost a ponyta. My dear husband who is still 9 at heart owns the game Pokemon Monopoly. We play it with a few friends this evening and things started out very well. 30 minutes in and everyone but my husband had 5 or 6 properties and a good chunk of change, while Kevin only had Articuno (the equivalent of water works.) 3 and a half hours later I declared Kevin as the victor. The tables turned and we still don't understand how. I love horses. One of the properties has a picture of a horse that is on fire (Pokemon is weird), but it makes me happy when I get the chance to own it. I had to give that fire pony property to my husband because of game rules and poor dice rolls." He knows me well. Owning a fire pony (even in a game) is legit. And Pokemon Monopoly is the best kind of Monopoly there is.
