God is Faithful!
Been a while since my last post. Again, God has done much in my life.
My wife and I rented our townhouse, and without the ability to get a home loan, were blessed that our parents let us live in their house. We got to spend quality time with The Whitmore’s in Prior Lake and The Holgrimson’s in Maple Grove. A lot of people living under one roof each time. There was a lot of love though. Our girls were able to spend good time with both sets of their grandparents and I know Beth and I will look back on these experiences with good memories.
We also found out that Beth is PREGNANT!! We are expecting #3 in February. This came at a time with me still having a big question mark in the job situation and still no home to bring the little one home too.
Again though, GOD saved the day! A week before teacher workshop week, I got a full-time elementary DAPE job (Developmentally Adapted Physical Education). I get to spend my days working with special needs students and helping them be physically active. It is a challenging new experience, but one I am so grateful to have. It is in the same district as Beth too, so we will both have the same breaks and get an extra bonus with our medical insurance.
That means…we get to buy a house. We are SO blessed that God has provided a beautiful brand new house in Ramsey, MN. This is the same town we have lived in for almost 7 years. This house is what I believe is called a two-story house. It has 4 bedrooms on one level so we will have plenty of room for our kids. It also has an unfinished basement. We are very excited to see how God will work through us in this new area and pray the house can be used for his glory.
Life isn’t always just a joy ride for us, but God always has saved the day for us. Even though life doesn’t go exactly how we plan, we need to remember he will provide, even if it isn’t the way WE think he should. I promise you, this isn’t the way Beth or I had hoped things would work out, but God’s perfect plan is even better then we had hoped.
Where ever you are at, whether it’s at a high point of life or down in a low point and feel that there is no way out, turn your hearts to God. Praise him in the good times of life, and pray that he can get you through the low points with something good out of it.
