Wow. More than a year has flown by since I last posted. More
than just time has flown by – many miles have sailed under my wheels. We moved,
first to one temporary location, then the Lord opened a job for my DH and we
have relocated to a big metropolis. Born into the big city, my heart finally
found a home in the country. Now I’m a city girl again. No more stickers in our feet, shoes, carpet,
car, or dog. No thistle wars to wage. No wilderness creeping into our yard. No
sunsets over hills, no creek to play in, no river to swim in, no animals to
care for or ride, no full moons shining in my window, no fabulous friends
coming over.
It has been a difficult transition. But I can testify that
the Lord has been right with me every step of the way. He delivered a box of
surprises, or a word of encouragement; kindnesses on sad days, strength on weak
days, peace on lost days. Even as I felt hard pressed on each side, He gave me
the grace to remain in faith, knowing that He only has good for us. Because I
have seen His faithfulness in so many ways throughout many years and trials, I desire to be found by Him in faith. I want to receive what He sends with
gratefulness. It hasn’t been easy. I am sometimes sad. But He is Good.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is
the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Psalm 107:1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good: for
His mercy endures forever.
Hebrews 6:19 which hope we have as an anchor of the soul,
both sure and steadfast, and which entered into that within the veil;
And so my hope is in Him. And He has strengthened me, and
taught me. And I look forward to more.
