Changes!

You know how when God tells you to do something and you decide to follow Him, you may still plan out how things are going to go. Well at least I do! So when we decided that God was calling us to Texas and that we were going to follow Him, we KNEW that I would be the one that has to be the primary provider and that life would change.

Well it did!! Mark got a job!! Praise the Lord he got the job!! We knew before coming out here that the Friday that we got here he would have an interview for part time work on campus. That day they offered him the job and for more money than most get paid. Most jobs on campus are for minimum wage, Mark is getting more- not much more but at least its more!!! Thank you Lord for providing a job that will allow Mark to go to school, spend time with our family, study, and actually work and earn a wage! He started working the same day he started classes.

I can be a slow learner. So God is showing me that just because you are following Me, doesn't mean I will go ahead and give you the full plan. As a matter of fact He is slowly revealing things to us about His plan. Where we had it all planned out how things would go once we got to Texas, He decided to build our faith even more. Which is very evident by the fact that right now Mark is the only one working! We feel for the time being at least, I am supposed to be home with the kids. Could this change? Of Course!!! This could change in a minutes time, but for now we will follow God through faith and I will stay at home.

We are still looking for a church home. This is such a daunting task. Church here is very different than back home. Or maybe we are just comparing everything to back home! Either way please continue to pray that we find a church. My soul longs to be in a church home and fellow-shipping regularly.

Classes have started! For the first time in eleven and a half years Mark is in school! He was scared and anxious and excited all at once. Well so far things are going great! He is still trying to adjust to going to class, going to work, and studying and how exactly to fit it all in and when. But other than that things are going wonderfully!

We want to say thank you again for all of your prayers and support. Thank you also for cards, texts, Facebook wall posts, and phone calls. Getting those help us remember that you are sending prayers our way and help us not get quite so homesick. We love you all and miss you dearly!
