i was listening to my "Jesus Music" playlist just now, and completely felt compelled to write a blog post. Since (clearly) this hasn't happened lately, i'm sure theres a reason for it.
and there's that line...
"...teach us to count the days, teach us to make the days count.."
Brian put in his resignation letter.
We're leaving.
Moving back to the States.
To Grand Rapids, Michigan.
To start our new lives.
February 28th is his last day of work.
I will fly with our dog after Brian on March 6.
WOAH.
I have been completely overwhelmed with God's grace since we told people we were moving. Right away we sold our most costly valuables - including Brian's motorcycle. We came to the conclusion that we needed to find our German Shepherd, Luna, a new home...and we did (I can't describe to you how hard that was). I already have a job in Grand Rapids, starting as soon as we get back.
Things are just...working out.
How can God's provision for us be any more clear at this point?
As I was waving goodbye to the Taylor family this morning for the last time (who are moving back to the states this week, starting THEIR new American lives in Arkansas a month ahead of us) I couldn't help but feel blessed. It just..."worked out" for them too. And through their blessings from God I have been blessed too.
See, I have this problem where if I can't foresee or make an accurate educated guess of the outcome of a certain situation it really bothers me. I have to plan and make decisions to correlate with the outcome I expect. God continues to break me from this. Maybe I'm just now getting it.
I can't control God. Yep, that's it. That's what it is, isn't it? This whole moving thing has brought me to my knees in prayer, where there's no where else to go except to Him. It's a great place to be.
So here we go...
we will "count the days, and make the days count"...
