It has been many months since my last post. Here we are in a different city in a different home living close-ish to different family with different goals, heartaches and joys.
In March, we found out that Nelson had been accepted to Texas A&M University to pursue his Ph.D. in English. Praise God! We had been waiting so long for this news. Our hearts had ached and broken over our hopes for our future. After we attempted to do justice to the call of our Faith during that season of waiting, the Lord was so gracious to provide this path for us. I know full well that the path was always there, resting in his will, but his grace has been so apparent to us in the revealing of this path.
So we quit our jobs. We said goodbye to such good friends and strong family, including a nephew on the way. We left our church home behind. We packed our house and drove 1100 miles with our moms and now we are here.
There has been an overwhelming amount of change over the past month, but through it all, there is a steady flow of peace within our lives. This is the Lord and only the Lord. Daily, He carries us. Daily, He brings us closer to Him. I have a load of thoughts and feelings about this move, mostly gratitude, but today I am choosing to rest in the peace that fills our home.
