beautiful things.


This post has nothing to do with Africa or Mercy Ships, but since many of you have been praying for us, I thought I'd give you a quick update...

BIG things have been going on around here in the last couple of weeks! We both have recently become EMPLOYED!!! Praise God! Can I get an "Amen?" :)

Oh, I can't tell you what an enormous weight has been lifted, especially off my husband. And how relieved we are. Its been tough waiting. It sucks actually :) And I must confess that there were times when my flesh wondered what God was doing... when, Lord, when? I don't know if I "passed the test." I wish I had trusted Him even more. But, I CAN say I never doubted Him. Amidst the unknown, His faithfulness I clung.

So, today was my "first day." I sat in class for eight hours; computer training tomorrow and the next. Then to the real fun on Thursday. :) Tim starts on Wednesday!! Because of HIS timing, we were able to celebrate our 7th anniversary yesterday work-free! :)

All this to say, God turns beauty from ashes.

He is in the business of making beautiful things. Breathtakingly beautiful.

In His time. :)
