As most of you know we are on a journey back to our hometown, Meridian. If you haven't heard, or are curious of the story..please read the previous post!
After having confirmation of our move, we immediately began searching for a place to live. This search has not been easy. Being self-employed has it's downfalls and the fact that our economy is falling apart does not help either. It didn't take long for me to become somewhat discouraged. It didn't take long for my hopes to begin to pick up either! I began to pray Philipians 4:6-7 over and over again. Anytime I felt the tears coming on, I prayed. That hiss would whisper in my ear all the many obstacles I faced. "You won't have a place to live, everyone needs a house" "You're pregnant, where will your baby sleep?"....on and on. Then I prayed. I made my requests known to God, not just that we would have a place to stay, but that I would be encompassed in His peace. I just wanted peace.
My stresses only lasted a day. God immediately answered my prayers. Through thanksgiving, I asked and received. And thanksgiving I return! I have peace. No, we still don't have a house to stay in until we can buy what we want. BUT, I have peace!!
God is faithful! He remains the same. He gave us a word and on a word we stand. Life is full of obstacles and He's given us the strength to surpass them all! I am excited to continue this journey and come into all that God has for my family. We will never understand why He does what He does, but I am thankful that He has chosen us to do His will where He needs us.
Thank you to those who have taken us up in prayer. There's nothing like friends who love...
He is Faithful!
I was at the Ramp Sunday for the Sunday night service, and Damon was prophecying over Mississippi and I thought of you guys and prayed! I pray that everything goes smoothly in your transition, God opens every door that need to be opened, and provides miraculously every step of the way!
