God is so good!

We recently took a pretty big loss of income, as well as gained extra bills. It is a scary situation, but we are confident that God is revealing something to us through it. We have had debt from years back that we have paid on here and there, but have never made a priority. We really feel that this is the exact reason that we keep getting knocked to our knee's financially. We are going to do something about it! We are taking the leap, and making a commitment to get it paid off fully! It will take years to do, but we are going to make it happen. I feel really good about this, and I know this is exactly what we need to be doing in our lives at this moment. It is going to mean great sacrifice for our family, but we feel God is calling us to take responsibility for our debt. The debt that we have ignored for so long now. Please pray for us as we undertake this huge task!

My path

I had a reminder tonight of the life path that I choose. When all my high school classmates were in their first semester of college I was getting pregnant. When they had their first summer break from college I was giving birth to my first child. When they were graduating college I was raising a four year old, working two jobs and getting pregnant with my second child. While they were getting their first taste of the real world I was going through a terrible unwanted divorce and about to give birth to that second baby. Not to long after that I came to know Jesus as my savior. I was a single mother working hard to survive on my own. By God's grace a wonderful woman provided more than she knows for my family. While my high school classmates were getting married I was buying my first home as a single mother of two. I had no money, and no real future for my children. The wonderful woman mentioned above gave me an envelope of money. Not just a few bucks or even a few hundred bucks, but a lot of money. It was exactly what I needed at the time to really get started in life. By that token of God's love being handed to me I came to know Christ. You see when she gave me the money she told me that God had come to her in a dream and told her to give me the money. The woman being a survivor of hurricane Katrina, and living in a hotel far away from home really did not have the money to spare. She was devoted to living for Christ and therefore made sure the girl behind the desk that she didn't even know the name of received the money God directed her to give. She did it in a way that I had no choice except to take the money. She left the hotel and I have never heard from her again. She has no idea what she has done for so many souls. By doing what she did I came to know God's love. Now I have a husband, and three children that are all devoted to living life for Christ as Adrienne Miller did/does. My classmates have caught up to me in life many with several children as well. I would never change how I got to the place I am now. I went through much heartache and hard times, but I was shown the love of God in such a way that it was all worth it. My struggles were a direct result of my sin, yet God used my sin to open my heart and through that we are now a family of believers. Thank you Adrienne Miller where ever you are for being a sister in Christ that will stop at nothing to follow him, and win souls!

Finally!

We are now officially moved into the new house! The kids are loving the backyard and the neighborhood kids. I am loving the quiet, and the set up. Peter is loving that he gets to be manly and fix the fence so Paige can't squeeze her little self out of the small opening between the fence post and the house. We still have lots to do to be settled, but our stuff is here lol. Now I just need someone to massage the knots out of my back from all the lifting!
