I literally have no words to explain how God has been so good to us. You know when the devil starts messing with you and God shows up bigger? That has been the story of my life…… A brief synopsis of our situation….
WE bought the new house which needed TONS of work. We needed to be out of the rental house by this coming saturday the 1st. My husband realized this weekend that he wasn’t going to be able to finish all the work that needed to be done in the house. I put out a request asking for help. I heard from Jessica on sunday night that her and another friend from church would be coming to the new house on monday and that they would complete the painting. Yesterday morning, Jessica called me and said that I could bring Preston and Paisley to another church members home and that she would watch them for the day. As I was dropping the kids off I received a call from Jessica again stating that another couple from our church were headed to my old house to help me pack. Once I got back home I learned that that couple had brought their daughters with them to also help! We loaded their truck and then drove to the new house. While unloading at the new house, Jessica let me know that there were more people coming to help….
Long story short, more than 20 people helped throughout the entire day yesterday. They packed and loaded and unloaded I think 7 trucks and trailers. I am so blown away and humbled by all of it. There were people that helped that didn’t even know us. Our church (and all of God’s people) were totally the hands and feet of Jesus to my family. Our church family has organized someone to come power wash the house as well as has hired someone to come finish the painting that we haven’t finished yet. People helped unpack things, set up beds etc etc….
The devil has tried to have his way in all of this blessing too…… on sunday night the air conditioning in the new house stopped working (did I mention that it is HOT here right now? 100 degrees today, and high 90s for the next week), my van died three times (I have never had one issue with my van EVER), and then last night the refrigerator in the new house broke! But God is resolving each issue in His time, and His answer is way better than mine. The refrigerator repair man is coming tomorrow so we will see what he says……
I feel like sometimes I sound like a broken record but all I can say is WOW GOD! He is just so good. Our circumstances can sometimes be overwhelming and daunting, sometimes it is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but God has it all in His hands, no matter what the world throws our way HE HAS GOT IT
Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Beautifully Blessed
