To be honest, I'm ashamed that I ever doubted God's provision. I didn't doubt He would provide. I just wanted it on MY time. I've been humbled a thousand and one times since then over all He's done.
Quick Update (to keep this ball rolling):
Brian and I now live in Cordova. The move was easy. We were also surprised when Brian's grandfather offered to pay for our moving expenses and when his parents gave us an unexpected monetary gift as well. Things were off to a pretty good start. I had a week with no job or plans to get our (really nice) apartment put together. It was also the week of our first anniversary. To be able to goof off without a care in the world or a schedule was so sweet. I guess God really does know what He's doing. Then, I interviewed for a job on our first Friday there and again on Monday and started on Wednesday as a Marketing specialist for a credit union. It's a great job, with great pay, even greater co-workers, and a sweet, sweet office. I get it, God. You were in control. Higher ways and thoughts, huh? :)
These days I work while Brian goes to class and is in the process of taking on a position with a church nearby with some of the most fun kids I've met. Honestly, working isn't my big priority in life. I never imagined myself to be much of a career woman, but for now it's definitely God's will. We will definitely be here for the next three years as Brian finishes his masters degree. In the meantime, we are praying hard about living in Europe after that and serve in the mission field somewhere. (Germany, England, Spain, Greece...any takers?)
Life is just as it should be -- even though there is no puppy (there certainly isn't going to be a baby anytime soon!). :)
Don't get me wrong. Everyday certainly has its tasks and sometimes troubles. But each day is more of a reminder of God's grace. I've never heard Him speak more clearly in my life than I have in these past few weeks. There are days when I want to get down on the fact that I've not accomplished any of those big dreams I had for myself and gone in the direction that I was headed a few months/years ago...but then I'm reminded that those dreams were MINE, not His. I'm not entertaining crowds of people every night, but I've never been happier being simply a small somebody living life for the Creator and doing my part to make His name great, not mine. Never thought I would be, either. But hey, you surprise yourself the older you get.
And anyway, there's always facebook for entertaining. ;)
Stay cool and stuff, y'all.
