Will bring you to your knees and Closer to the reason"

IN AWE

I am seriously in AWE of Jesus.

I Suppose it has nothing to do with being completely unsure of where I am and what I am doing. When we are leaving, how we will get there. Financially un prepared for not only our trip, but life in general. Having absolutely no direction other than...

HIM

Seriously. After weeks of drowning in my sorrows I see the light yet again. I don't know what changed other than this over whelming peace stemming from just knowing Him. Just knowing His character. How He loves us. Oh how He loves us. He is so faithful. Just spending time with Him. How it refreshes my soul. My thirst is quinched yet again.

I will stop rambling, I just wanted to share in my excitment, and leave you with a song that has been the cry of my heart this past few days.

Okay, so one more song... I just can't get enough ;)

He never fails.

Phew, it has been an exciting past few weeks. Stressing finances and me doubting our readiness for Oregon took a complete 180 degrees as God never fails to show me He is enough. After a disapointing visit to a few campers we thought were going to work Logan and I were left anxious and bummed. There had been a camper down the road that we were interested in for quite some time, but didn't have the courage to knock on their door and ask about it. After the series of unfortunate campers we had gotten to the point where we couldnt resist asking about this seemingly perfect oppertunity. Turns out the one we had our eyes on was not for sale, however the lady kindly informed us that her daughter would be willing to part with hers and they lived around the corner. We went to check it out right away and it turned out to be in beautiful shape! After realizing it was the best one we had seen yet, we asked how much they were looking to get out of it. He wasn't quite sure, and asked what we were willing to pay. Logan said, "I hate to hit you too low, but we had been looking at campers around $400 and $500." The man replied, "I'd be tickled to get $400 out of it, I'd take $300!" Logan and I were blown away, we had just looked at one valued at $600 and the frame was falling to pieces. We slept on it, and quickly called the next day, and towed her home. Although it was an amazing deal, and a perfect camper it was a bit too heavy for our CRV. We knew that it was not worth potentionally messing up our transmission just to pull a sweet camper behind us, we had to part with it. After looking on craiglist for quite some time, I knew the real value of this camper. It was definetly not $300... try anywhere from $850-$1200. This kind of thing dosn't happen very often, especially to us. haha. This has just been one of the ways God has continued to provide for us in the past few weeks.

This past Saturday, I received a telephone call from a lovely lady. She was inquiring about a sewing job. The whole thing is a surprise, so I won't go into detail. However, out of the blue, I have an opptunity to make some very decent money doing something that I anticipate to be very fun! And a great learning experiance. It couldn't have come at a better time! What an awesome oppertunity to help our Oregon fund ;) haha, seriously though, God is so good.

Although times can seem to be heading no where, and plans look like they won't happen. Life gets foggy, and time keeps passing on He is here. He has a plan, and as I surrender it to Him, and give Him the glory he deserves, He continues to bless and provide for my family and I.

This entire month that been pure crazyness. From Logan loosing his job, to us trying to move to Oregon, to personal goals and health stuff. I have this picture in my mind, of me standing in the center of this tonado, and having complete peace. No other peace than the peace that Christ has preciously given me. It may sound cleche', but it's more real now than it's ever been. There is so much more to this story, and I can't wait to share it with everyone. It blows my mind as I pursue what God has for me, and continue to have faith and really walk in His will for my life, how real and alive He is. How He provides, how He encourages, how He calms, how He knows what I need right when I need it, how He surprises, How he loves. How he does all of this for me.. who am I? How am I so special to deserve this? It is such an honor to simply believe.

You're Beautiful, Phil Wicham

I see Your face in every sunrise

The colors of the morning are inside Your eyes

The world awakens in the light of the day

I look up to the sky and say You're beautiful

I see Your power in the moonlit night

Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright

We are amazed in the light of the stars

It's all proclaiming who You areYou're beautiful, You're beautiful

I see you there hanging on a tree

You bled and then you died and then you rose again for me

Now you are sitting on Your heavenly throne

Soon we will be coming home

You're beautiful, you're beautiful

When we arrive at eternitys shore

Where death is just a memory and tears are no more

We'll enter in as the wedding bells ring

Your bride will come together and we'll sing

You're beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful
