As some of you have noticed I am not the most consistent blogger. I allow so many events to happen and go past and then think....oh maybe I should have documented that...oops lol! Well these last couple of weeks have been crazy so bare with me while I share about how God allowed Davy and I to be showered with blessings. Well.....showered isnt the right word. How about DOWNPOUR!! (Yes, I am the daughter of a weather guru which is why I only use weather terms to describe big events :) )
So backing up to about almost two and a half weeks ago. Well...I guess I should go a little farther back. God has blessed me with a husband that can do just about any task set before him. So starting in January he was creating a painting/contracting business. It was going well for a while, but we both knew that it was not going to be able to be a long term thing, it was more to help us while he was applying and looking for other possibilities. Well, as the summer went on the customers started slowing down and we both began to be even more serious about finding alternative jobs. He applied to Liberty University, but neither one of us were very sure if they would call back with all the applications they get. Oh, ye of little faith! I unfortunate quite often find myself limiting God's power and this was such the case. I mean if God can create our world, part the Red Sea, do miracle after mircale in the Bible and so many other things why is it so HARD for me to believe that He can provide for me and Davy. Sigh..... convicting thought to ponder.
Anyway, two and half weeks ago my husband got a call from LU. I was upstairs literally on my knees just praying that Davy would get the job. Now I expected the phone interview to go on and have the interviewer tell Davy that they would call back later with their decision. You know when a down pour of rain can hit suddenly like its raining and then all of the sudden without much warning it just pours. Well thats about what happened here. Twenty minutes after Davy answered the phone he yells upstairs saying he was offered and had accepted the job!!!!! Thats when the downpour hit. :) He got the job on a Wednesday and then he started that Monday. I was still soaking in the fact that he had a job before I realized.......oh wait......we have to move....in two weeks......3 hours away.
And then the not so pretty, worrying, anxious version of myself that I try to lock away, started creeping out. Thankful for the most part I held this awful version of myself at bay, but occasionally in the last two weeks she has come out and I am ashamed to admit that I did not try to stop her. I know that God knew what was going to happen, where we were going to live, and how it was all going to work out on getting our belongings down there. But again me and my little faith had a wrestling match with God about who was going to control this situation. Thankfully God won out. I started praying every-time Davy and I hit a road block in this whole transition. Not just praying for it to work out, but also thanking Him in advance for what He was going to do. And even though this whole thing did pan out on my time it all worked out the way God intended it too. My husband found us the most adorable duplex which I had not seen until two days ago and absolutely love it!!! It was like Christmas but instead of a box of something I got a cozy two bedroom house. God is so good!! He worked out everything for me to transition down here very easily and thanks to our wonderful parents all of our belongings are safely in our new home. Yes, there were some road blocks like the down pour of rain on both days we moved this past weekend. And I would love to say I handled it with a smile on my face, but I did allow my worry wort self to show her ugly face for a short time, but I stuffed her back pretty quick. :) So literally we did have a downpour of blessings. :) And through all of that only like one item that wasnt even that important got a little wet. :)
So its been a long two weeks. Davy and I are exhausted, but happy. We are glad to finally be together after a long two weeks apart. And I am so grateful that God is faithful even when I waver. And I am so humbled and in awe at His overwhelming downpour of blessings in our lives. Thank you to all our friends and family in Northern Virginia for your prayers and help. We will be back to visit often!
And so starts our new journey together enjoying life, love and the little moments in between.
Until next time. :)
