The mind of God.

In the craziness of life, in what has been complete chaos of the last 6 years, I've recently taken comfort in the fact that I do not know nor do I understand the mind of God. I do know, however, that every single step of the way has been His leading, if for no other reason, then to continue to draw me closer and closer to Him.

In 2008 we decided to separate from the AF not knowing what was going to happen. In that time, we thought we made the biggest mistake ever. Almost 1 year later, savings completely depleted and desperate for a job God gave us Maryland. Five weeks later my Daddy died. If we hadn't moved home, I would have NEVER received that time of 11 months with my Daddy...which I am forever grateful. God is good.

2009 was a very hard year...but we are blessed.
2010 was a very hard year... but we were very blessed.
2011 and 2012 were a bit of a blur.
2013 was a very hard year... again, blessed!

In August, we got notice that Skye's company was sending Him back to MD. We prayed, and a bit begged for God to open doors for us to stay here. With no such opportunity. In case you missed the last year, we started to build our own house, literally, by our own hands. Of course, with help from friends and family. We had not even put a roof on, when we got this notice. In Gods graciousness, he brought up Skye's sister and brother to purchase our "farm". We will be free and clear from it in a few weeks.

This week we went to MD and found a beautiful home we intend to call ours for a few years, or until God says Go again. As the Israelites quickly found out, the promise land isn't always what you expect it to be. We do not know what God has in store for us in the year 2014. We are excited to see. He has NEVER EVER let us down, hanging, or left us alone. He's always guided every single footstep and Skye and I trust him fully!

Thanks for the prayers and support friends...you know who you are!
