This needs to be a theme verse for this time in our lives right now. This picture is one of our favorites and we have it hanging in our bedroom. It is a good reminder to be at rest and trust that God knows what he is doing in our lives right now. We are still without a home to call our own, living on the wonderful generosity of my parents. They have been great to us, and I know they don't mind us staying, but we are just missing our own place, our own stuff, our own life. We both still feel that we are in transition with our jobs, hoping for something better to come along soon. Still we feel very blessed that God is providing for every need, even if it is in a different way than we would have chosen ourselves. We are definitely growing a lot during this time and learning to be patient and have faith. I'm not saying that it is always easy, just that we are appreciating all that God is doing in our lives right now. Our new church is wonderful as is the small group we have joined. They have been a huge support to us in this time of waiting. Even as we are waiting, God is showing us ways he is moving. John has a renewed passion for teaching and is hoping to get his license renewed so he can start looking for a teaching job in the area next fall. He is going to be starting a new part-time job as a site coordinator for an after school program (same thing I do) after Christmas. He's excited about that opportunity, but will be quitting a full time job to take something part time, so we are praying that he will get this other job through the school system that he is interviewing for on Thursday. We continue to look for a house and have narrowed down our search criteria considerably. It is such a huge decision to make, and we don't want to rush into a purchase just because we are ready to have a house. This will continue to be a time of change and transitioning for us, but we will press on toward the goal, and continue to seek his guidance for each step we take.
