July Update
Some of you have been wondering what's been going on with us so I just wanted to give you a quick update...since the last blog we've moved from our beautiful home to a small temporary apt...it's actually nice to not have to clean a huge house and pay a gigantic air conditioning bill this summer, seeing as it's been very warm lately! PTL...
I went back to work full time in May at the company that I used to work for when we first moved to Colorado...(they usually call me when someone goes on leave for whatever reason, and I fill in while they're out)...at first I was only supposed to go back for 6 weeks, but I've been there close to 10 now...which has been a blessing for me, for several reasons...I consider it a blessing in the economy we're in, when thousands of people are looking for work, that I get a call from my awesome boss asking me if I would like some work...I felt like the Lord handed it to me on a silver platter...so I'm very grateful...even though I gave up most of my summer it will enable us to take a much needed vacation in a week to see my best friend in NJ for a few days then make some stops in between there to VA so we can spend a few days with my sister then fly back home! Sam and I will be able to travel by ourselves since my parents so generously offered to come stay with the girls for the 10 days we're gone!!! Praise God for my mom and dad! :-) and grandparents who love spending time with their grandkids!!!!
We've also been helping some fellow CBCer's who recently took a church here in Littleton CO as their media pastors PT till we can find a FT position wherever God might open doors for us....so we're still in waiting mode, but some good things have been happening...Sam and I have truly learned the importance that less IS more, to learn to be content in whatever situation we are in, the most important thing is that we're together with our 2 great kids under the same roof, God is taking care of us b/c we've always been faithful to give to Him and we know HE will always be faithful to us, b/c of that there's peace in trusting in Him to meet our financial needs in our time of need...two spots were open for the girls at their school and God provided a scholarship so the girls able to stay at their private school for next year, which was really important to us...He's continuing to work in our hearts and lives as He's working behind the scenes to get things ready for the next chapter that He has for us!
you know waiting can be an excrutiating time, but what I'm learning is that the longer you have to wait the sweeter the victory will be when the time comes for you to leave your wilderness....last night I was reading in Psalms 106 and I loved how he said (when the Israelites were being led out of Egypt...) "Remember this! He led his people out singing for joy..." I'm learning to worship in the midst of my trials and be grateful for His goodness and faithfulness to me...remembering that even though "many are the afflictions of the righteous, the Lord WILL deliver him out of them ALL!!!!!"
May we never loose our song in the desert and miss out on the presence of God! Let everything around us become smaller as we magnify Him through our worship!
"All of my life, in every season, you are still God, I have a reason to sing, I have a reason to worship!I will rejoice, I will give praise, God is my victory and He IS here!!!!" ~ "Desert Song", Hillsong
