16 years ago today...

I find myself this morning in reflection of what God is doing now and what He has done over the past sixteen years. 16 years ago today was our first date. Two young kids setting off to watch the movie Happy Gilmore together...alone...for the first time. What an adventure it has been! What wonderful plans the Lord had in store! Yesterday we met with a mortgage banker with Kentucky Bank to talk about a loan option without the sell of our home in Cushing. A miracle in itself that the Lord has provided the option for us. We are struggling with the decision to take on two mortgages while we continue to wait on the Lord but He keeps stretching us. He keeps challenging us to step out in faith and to taste and see that He is good. We don't know why the home in Cushing has not sold as we have stepped out in obedience but we do trust Him and we do know He is in total control working it all out for His good. Here was my little flip calendar today. I find it so fitting it says "think about where your life has taken you and what you dream for the future". It's a great day to reflect on the journey we have been in the past sixteen years of walking with the Lord together. Today we find ourselves in a foreign land...a new mission field in Morehead, Ky...God has provided a way for us to close on the home here in Morehead without our home in Cushing being sold....God has provided a church family for us and our first life group meets tonight...and today 16 years ago was our first date.... He is so faithful. Even in the seasons of storms and tears He is our comforter, our provider, and our shield. Truly, there is no one like Him!
