We Leased Our House!

-
I want to thank everyone for praying for us!  We received a phone call from our realtor on Tuesday of this week and she let us know that a wonderful family wanted to lease our home.  He is a pastor, they have 4 kids and they just moved here from Georgia.  Ultimately we wanted to sell our home, but God had other plans.  I prayed that whoever bought or leased our home that the home would be a blessing to them.  So, it is a win win for both of us.  They have a great home to live in and we don't have to make the payment! YAY!  This probably is better in the long run.  We will more than likely make quite a bit more money on the house a year from now than we would have if we would've sold it this year.  All of the builders will be done building in our area, so we won't have them to compete with.

They want to move in on Monday, so we are headed to Texas tomorrow to clear the rest of the stuff out of the house and have the carpets cleaned.  Tomorrow is also our 10 year anniversary.  Not the ideal way to spend our anniversary, but it is a huge anniversary gift from God to have our mortgage payment covered!  So, we'll celebrate our anniversary next weekend. :)

The past 7 months I've learned so much about trusting God.  He has met our needs miraculously during this time.  He has taught me that I don't need to worry.  That if I'll be faithful, He will provide.  How great is our God!

Do Not Worry

Earlier this year I attended Pink Impact at Gateway Church in Southlake, TX with my mom, my dear friend & her mother in law.  It was a 4 day getaway for me to just be & receive. I needed it desperately, because it was just a few months prior that Mel told me that he knew that he knew that the Lord would be transitioning us soon to more of a lead pastor role.  As you know by my previous post , I was a little resistant at first. :)  I was doing my best to trust that Mel had heard from God and even though I knew in my spirit that he had...I was just consumed with worry.   I was worried about where the Lord would move us. I was worried about when He would move us.  I was worried about making the wrong decision. I was worried about moving my girls to a different school. I was worried about leaving the people we had grown to love so much here in Enid. I was worried about finances.  I was WORRIED. You get the picture.  During one of the sessions of the conference there was a

Never Alone

Standing on this mountaintop Looking just how far we've come Knowing that for every step You were with us Kneeling on this battle ground Seeing just how much You've done Knowing every victory Is Your power in us Scars and struggles on the way But with joy our hearts can say Yes, our hearts can say Never once did we ever walk alone Never once did You leave us on our own You are faithful, God, You are faithful "Never Once" by Matt Redman Yesterday morning as I drove to work, I cranked the volume on the praise & worship music.  My best times with God are in my 20 minute drive to work...just me & Him.  The above song began to play.  Have you heard it?  Powerful stuff.  Our worship team at  Victory Church ,  Warr Acres , sings it often.   I love it.   Even though I've heard it and sung it many times, yesterday it just really REALLY sunk in. As I listened to the words and thought of all of the valleys & battles

Stop Comparing & Be You!

Romans 12:4-6 (MSG) In this way we are like the various parts of a human body. Each part gets its meaning from the body as a whole, not the other way around. The body we're talking about is Christ's body of chosen people. Each of us finds our meaning and function as a part of his body. But as a chopped-off finger or cut-off toe we wouldn't amount to much, would we? So since we find ourselves fashioned into all these excellently formed and marvelously functioning parts in Christ's body, let's just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously or pridefully comparing ourselves with each other, or trying to be something we aren't. A few days ago during my quiet time I read this passage of scripture and it really jumped off the page to me.  I've read this passage many times before, but never in The Message version.   I love the entire chapter of Romans 12, but I want to focus on these few verses in this post today. What is my purpose?
