homesick..... and freedom

SO the last couple of days I have been feeling homesick...... homesick for our old house, the youth, our friends, the money Trev made.....I have to keep on top of my thoughts and remember that God called us here to Westbank and to stand firm.... We knew when we moved here that financially we would be tight, it just has been a bigger adjustment then I anticipated.

We moved knowing with out a doubt that God said go....though somedays when the storm rages, its a fight to keep my eyes on Jesus. All my preaching to you and myself regarding taking control of my thoughts etc..is having to be really practiced.

Anyhow all this to say..... that I miss my friends.....I miss our old house (not the big one, the one we owned), however I do miss the big bath from the huge house!!! I miss shopping, just because, I miss doing things with out thinking about the cost of $$$.

I have been working on our brochure for inspections and been using the pictures from our renovations... it was so beautiful.....so needless to say I miss it.

Its okay to miss it, to be honest but I just need to rise above it.... so thats where I am..... we really need a miracle with our finances ... Lord I know that where you call you provide. . and I am believing that you are going to set us free.... Father we ask for favor, with inspections.... let it take off Lord..... open the doors , set us free

I love you Lord and I trust you to provide for our every need and desires.
Thank you for taking care of us..... thank you for you protection, your freedom, your grace, and your love!

Thank you for your blessing you have pour out on us, thank you for our house, our cars, our amazing family you have given us... Wow you are amazing!!

Being Thankful is an amazing way to come up higher, to free our minds, to worship the Lord with gladness in the struggles.

Be Blessed!!

relax...

Wow...spring...equals new growth, time to get out of winter ruts and get into new routines and try new things....
The weather outside is so beautiful and sunny, warm...I love not having to wear a big heavy jacket!!

I love watching the snow melt away as I anticipate what our new garden looks like!! If it is anything like the bit of garden I see now..I have alot of work setout for me!!

So my new thing I am trying....is possible a job.....full time.... wow if I get it that will be amazing...and it will be definitely a change.

But untill I get it , which I might not, I am just relaxing, enjoying life... I made bread from scratch, I've gardened (where the snow has melted) I have danced, baked, painted, I ve enjoyed every minute.

So I am also trying to learn to be more positive and encouraging... in every moment..but what a fight with my thoughts to be this way.....my thoughts want to go neagitive but I choose to be positive.

I watched Evan Almighty the other night and one of the things the character God says "if you pray for patience do you think God automatically gives you patience or does he give you th opportunity to have patience"
How true...sometimes we pray and we totally expect a instance answer, like a magic wan di s waved and "poof" we have patience.... wouldn't that save alot of hassele...yet is we dont learn what we ask for then we will take it for granted. So in the movie the mom (wife of Evan) prayed that their family would be closer together. She almost missed the opportunity to do that, to learn to be closer together, to act upon it!

It's like a light went on....it clicked.... what opportunities are we missing that we have asked for?

...I know I am more aware to look for the opportunities and if God does do the magice "poof" it is most likely because I needed it really bad!!!

Be blessed!!

New Lifestyles and such....

Wow with a move so big and so good, has come a new lifestyle change. Its strange, but so good!

My days are less busy, less stressed, and still fun!!
The lastest thing I have started doing in my daily routine is working out.....however not just any working out, but worshiping as well.... I have been dancing for 20 - 30 minutes to worship music...wow I feel so refreshed all day. I work out a sweat....which I have never done before and I love it!!!

The first time I did it I felt really awkward, but then I prayed "Lord free me to dance" and I danced ....it is so fun, so invigorating, and so amazing. I have been so blessed!!

What else is new.....well I am looking for a job....that will defiantly be a change!
This whole move has been one of faith..knowing that God brought us here.....why and what purpose is still unknown, however we know with out a doubt it was the best thing to do.

Knowing this we continue to stand on it saying God you have to provide..... and so far he has...He is so faithful!!

We are loving it here and look forward to what God has in store for us!!
