This seems to be the theme of our lives. We left Vegas behind about three months ago. I thought it would be our hardest moves thus far. We had made so many friends and put down deep roots. But God prepared our hearts and we began to yearn for change. We prayed for God to make His plan the desire of our hearts......He did. This has been the BEST move for our family. The kids have adjusted amazingly well as have I. We've only lived in Florida for three months but thanks to my TomTom, I am never trapped at home. Praise The Lord! :)
We left our old base house behind for our own home. It feels nice to own a home again, even if it is only for four years. I am renovating everything! I get to paint, replace flooring, and even tear down walls if I want to! That is such a wonderful feeling! Like I said....out with the old and in with the new.
God definately has BIG plans for us. We really like our new church and have already made some great friends. I am on the verge of beginning another new ministry, just waiting on God's timing. In Vegas my life was set on fast forward. I guess it's just that kind of city. After the move I felt like I went from fast forward to pause! I thought it would be nice to have some rest with out any obligations out side of my home and family. And it was, for the first month. By the second month I found myself crying out to God. Begging for Him to give me something, some new way to serve Him. He told me to "Be still and know I am God". This verse was brought to my heart and everything around me over and over again. So I am now committed to taking it slow to ensure I don't end up stuck in Fast forward yet again.
The old........
The New.........
Beautiful, isn't it?
You did it! :) Yay! Blogging is so fun! And yes, it is beautiful. It looks like you made an awesome move! How far are you from the beach?
ReplyDeleteThere is water everywhere here! We are about 20 minutes from the closest beach but we like to drive out to Gulf Shores. That's more of the tourist beach area. It has the board walk and all the fun stuff. To get to it we take a 3 mile bridge across the. It's about 45 minutes away from our house. I just got back from Destin which is a small beach town about an hour and a half from us. There's one road with water on both sides. It is so pretty out here. I hope we will still feel this way AFTER the storms!
