The goodness of G-d!

This past week has been full of so many things. It has flown by as if in a blur..so many good things that the L-rd has done.

Friday morning, Jan. 31st we left for Louisiana. Before we left my dh had another job offer so we decided to head to LA for a job interview and then on to Texas for another one. We were so excited as the job offer in Texas was with a homeschooling Christian father of 5 children. Many the same ages as some of our children.

It was a neat experience for me seeing the south. It was beautiful even in the winter. I was amazed that some of the trees still have their leaves. In LA it was warm enough to go without a coat and wear short sleeves. I loved it! The area was very Cajun and full of history. I wish we would have been able to stay longer so I could have seen all that I wanted too!
The job interview in LA for my dh went well and he was offered the job but before he made a decision he wanted to check out the job in Texas so Sunday morning we left LA and headed for TX 12 hours away.
Monday afternoon he met with the owner of the shop and was given the job.. My dh decided to take it as we felt it was given by Father!
The next day we begin to look at homes. We were waiting to be shown our 2nd home of the day; our first day looking. As we sat in the car my dh and I held hands and prayed. Asking for favor for the first house we had looked at but surrendering ourselves to whatever Yah had for us. Within 5 minutes of that prayer we received a phone call letting us know we had been approved for the house we wanted!! My dh and I sat thanking Father with tears in our eyes!
The next day was spent getting everything hooked up and our new home ready for us and our children. Thursday we headed home. OK was a mess. The bad snow storm had basically rendered Oklahoma City and Tulsa shut down. The city of Tulsa was at a stand still and cars were stranded all over the roads. I was so scared even driving on them at a very slow pace. We stopped over for the night in Miami, OK and then began again the next morning. From Joplin, MO on the roads were pretty clear and our trip was uneventful.  We arrived home early Saturday morning and since then have been packing and going through our things! We are scaling down alot! There is so many things to do to move. We are picking up the moving truck Thursday and leaving Friday morning.

I am excited about beginning our new lives in TX but sad about leaving our church and friends here! Yah has done many things in my life and heart since moving to IN almost 3 yrs ago! I am leaving here a new woman, a different woman, a changed woman!
I am excited about getting involved in ministry in Tx. There are many opportunities that await us! Many ways we can spread Father's love!      

Friday is my 16th wedding anniversary! I will spend it driving to Tx to begin a new phase in our lives! I am rife with excitement and apprehension about the adventures that await us! What does the next 16 yrs of marriage hold for me??  What do the next 16 yrs of my life hold for me?? What are Father's plans for me??

*** L-rd I am yours! As imperfect as I am I give myself to you with anticipation of the work you will do in me and the purpose my life holds in relation to your kingdom! 

Blessings!
