A Day for Preperation and Reflection!

I woke up just after 4 this morning with yet another migraine headache! I am doing all I can do to feel better! Today we have to sort out the hotel room! We really settled in and now we have to clean and pack it up! We will be just sitting around the hotel room until we have to leave tomorrow. We are still going to meet with the Landlord's either secretary or son, not sure because he wasn't sure. We will discuss our options, hopefully sign the lease and with even more hope receive the keys! If we are not able to do it tomorrow, my prayer is that we will be able to do it no later than this Thursday. Either way, we should be ringing in the New Year in our new home! I had been looking for a Christmas miracle, well we received the call on Christmas Eve. So, no moving in for Christmas! But how appropriate that we start over in a new State, in a new home and in a new year!! God is so good! It is so easy to become wrapped up in all the things that went wrong, didn't go the way we wanted, things took too long, we didn't get what we wanted or expected. But, when we look at things overall I guess they went just the way they are supposed to! Think about it, how many times do we all get impatient because something is taking to long or when we do not get what we wanted,IE; stuck in traffic when you're late for work or you didn't get that job you wanted.  On the way down south we were stuck in some horrible traffic, we were all getting irritable, but I kept saying " I Wonder if it is better being stuck here in traffic where we were, then dealing with or worse yet, being apart of what caused the delay!" I try to always keep that forward in my thinking, sometimes easier said than done! What if we had come down here right away, got a job and a house immediately?? If that is what God had planned, it would have been perfect! If it was simply because of our own impatience, it would have been a disaster! Because like most people we were being presumptuous. Renting a place, probably priced to high or taking a job that was seasonal and then being layed off, these are the things that could happen. We have stuck to our word and are continuing to be lead by Faith! And if you are still unsure that is true...EVERY TIME we thought we were going to be sleeping in the truck,we were provided a bed, when we weren't sure how to purchase Shawn's medications, they were paid for, when we were out of gas, it was provided, when it looked like the girl's would have nothing for Christmas, they did, when we didn't think we would find a place to live, we have! Today we get ready for tomorrow, and we will have anxiety, we are human! God already knows what happens tomorrow, and he isn't worried, he is God. And I am certain he has plans for this little family!
