Let me start this post by saying how awesome God is!
I realize it's been a while since I posted anything on here. Reasoning being, we've been in a place of waiting this last month. Safe to say, we haven't really started our new journey at our new duty station yet. BUT that does not mean that God has not been blessing and growing us through out this process. Quite the opposite- God is showing us His love again and again, and providing for us every step of the way.
This last month, Ben's been training and I've been visiting and packing. Here's a glimpse of how God has been providing for us: When we didn't know how long housing was going to take to get, we got answers and timing that were far beyond what we were expecting. When we thought I'd be jobless for a long time, He opened a door. When we thought money wouldn't be there, God gave. The verses out of 1 Thessalonians 5:23-25 are so relevant to us today,
"Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it. Brethren, pray for us."
And, brothers and sisters, please do pray for us in this time. That God will continue to show us the way we should go, and that, throughout the rest of this transition, we will honor and glorify Him in all we do. Because that is what life is about, friends- loving Jesus. If there is anything I've learned these last few weeks it's this: It might be easier to love Jesus and to seek Him when times are hard, but it's when things seem fine and life seems grand that I really need Him. In those good times (yes, I think this transition time is good), He blesses me in ways I don't expect and may not understand. Love the season of life God has ya... in our case, a season of transition.
God is always good. Always loving. Always deserving of our love. Always faithful. Always deserving of our faithfulness.
Dad and I went fishing and caught nothing. :) Maybe next time?
Mom clipped the back of her ankle on the screen door, so we had an adventure at the ER where she got twelve stitches. She's healing up well and walking around normally already.
Mom and I have been making all sorts of yummy things so I can put my wife-cooking-skills to practice. I'm no expert chef, but I think my homemade meat sauce turned out pretty delicious. :)
Soon, Ben and I won't have to take selfies anymore to send back and forth, but will be together again! Soon.
