Facelift

Now I know what you're thinking: A) That Varga couple just gets crazier and crazier...now they've resorted to plastic surgery?! and/or B) Wow, FINALLY a new blog post, didn't Sarah promise to update it more?? First of all, not to worry, it is only our little blog that will be undergoing any adjustments :) However, it is the second that I (Sarah) hope to address...

Certain family and friends occasionally bring it to my attention that we STILL have not updated our blog. Likely, I hear from the same people only because they are the faithful followers that still bother to check in from time to time "just in case" we've added something :) My response is always the same - "I feel like we haven't really done anything exciting enough to blog about." God has been really speaking to both Josef and I a lot lately through his word and conversations with other believers, and this morning it suddenly hit me (and I know Josef would agree if he were not already on campus learning how to change the world ;) what the real purpose of this blog should be. Instead of an online scrapbook highlighting only the fun, large-scale events that are few and far between, we should share the ordinary as well. It is often in the "little things" that God speaks the loudest.

I am excited about the possibilities and while I can only guess what this might mean for the reality of this page, I/we approach it with open hands ready for whatever God has in store. I already have so many ideas, so many things that now seem "worth" sharing, the prayer now is that God would provide both the time and the courage to share his constant work in and through our lives, no matter how small it may seem or vulnerable it makes us feel. So, here we go! Let's take this leap of faith together...

Happy 2 Years!!

To celebrate, we set out on our first adventure in Austin which led us to the Oasis for lunch and our new backyard of the Domain and Maggiano's dinner. We are so blessed to start this next year of marriage, and next chapter of our lives, in such an amazing city!
