INDESCRIBABLE!




This song and it's title describes completely in one word the events of this day that lead me to be in awe of our great God and the things that He has worked on our behalf today. No, Robert does not have a job yet, but out of the blue just as we were feeling weak He sent an unexpected blessing. Robert received a phone call this morning informing him that he will have his next semester paid for! This I would love to say was an answer to prayer but we had just this morning started to talk about how in the world we would pay for the semester since he did not think it would have taken this long to find a job.We had not thought of this difficulty in any depth or even started to pray about it since we have been so focused on the job search. Robert was on his way to the store to pick up garbage bags when he received the call.He had just left our computer where we were looking into school loan options.We sighed together as to how we have worked so hard to get out of debt and did not want to have to get bogged down in that manner. We truly want to be debt free so when he is finished with school we can be freed up to go where ever it is God is calling and not have to look for bigger churches that can afford us but be able to live a simplified life without unnecessary bills.We are anxious to be back in full time ministry and I believe with all my heart that God is the one that is stirring that anxiousness in us.
We feel in awe.We sat out on the back porch with the kids tonight talking about Gods provision and how we all ,including the kids will remember this day, and how our God provided for us and how that remembrance will bring us strength in our days of trouble and need.While we were sitting there on the porch we were able to watch a storm develop and Grace was able to capture some beautiful lightning shots. I will post them tomorrow.We have spent a lot of time outside at night as of late to view the space shuttle as it passes all lit up by the sun in the night sky and again we are so in awe of His greatness.We look forward to see how God is going to provide and in the process we learn to wait better.
