We Are Accepted!!

So, there’s been some pretty big news since the last time I updated any one. As you know, we are in the process of applying to an organization in hopes of moving over seas. It’s been a long and tedious adventure, but we finally recieved word from them, and we have been accepted. 

 Sometimes it’s hard to know how much to say on a public blog. But  I will say that this has been such a challenge for me, this whole process. It has tested me in how much I trust God.  You can have all the head knowledge about how God is faithful, that He answers your prayers and that He wants the best for you. But until your faced with having to trust him completely, to rely solely on him, and trust that your desires are His, you can’t comprehend how difficult it actually is to live it out. As we sent in our application, and then had to wait for month’s to hear word, doubt started to creap in. Maybe they don’t think we’re ready, maybe it wasn’t really God calling us to apply, is this really the best thing for our family. All these questions were in my mind. But, no, that was not it at all. Instead, God was teaching me a real life lesson in trusting God completely. That when you press into to God and Try to put Him first ( I emphasize try, because that is a continual process for me) that His desires become my desires. And in everything that He calls us to, the ultimate result will be bringing glory to God and making His name known in its truest sense.

 I am by no means a theologian, in fact I probably should have had Jeremiah write this post instead of myself, but these are the thoughts and feelings going on in my heart all mixed up with the things that I know are true about God and His goodness.

 So, yes, we are accepted, we are excited for what the future holds for us, and where that might lead our family, and we will continue to trust that he is good, that he is leading and directing every step that we take, and that the ultimate end will be bringing glory to his name.
