He's got this!!

It's so amazing to see how God continues to unfold His plan for our family!!  As I sometimes struggle or allow the enemy to lead my thoughts into thinking this is too much for us, God reminds me that HE has every detail planned!  

...JUST tonight as I was going through pictures of different houses, condos and simply places available for us to move into,  Jason and I were sharing thoughts with each other about the different possibilities.  I quickly became discouraged and overwhelmed.  The cost of living is much greater in Alberta and for us to pack up and move there seems insurmountable.  Places are expensive, we are unsure of what things will be like when we arrive...

Suddenly, my phone begins to ring and below the number on my screen , the phone reads, "Alberta, Canada."  I answered quickly, unsure of who it might be.  A kind gentleman calls me by name and begins to explain who he is and that he has a home for us to rent.  

After getting off the phone and talking with Jason, Jesus so timely and sweetly reminded me of Hebrews 12.  Verses 1-2 read  "Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith..."

This is His race He has set before us and we must run it with perseverance!  We must keep our eyes fixed on Jesus!   It's  part of the story He wrote for Jason & I before we  were born.  He is Author!!  He is the Master Planner!!    He is a God of detail and there is no part He has left undone.  While we wait, we will trust.  We will worship and we will pray.  I will continue to lay this down at His feet, the plans He has are far better than the plans we have for ourselves.

For such a time is this...

(I'm having to re-post, the blog 

decided to delete our first post!!)

During the summer, Jason and I were blessed to go on a mission trip to Canada with a team from our home church, Hephzibah!!   While we were there, we held a Vacation Bible School for a partner church, Vertical Church in Cochrane, Alberta.   We loved every minute of VBS, as I taught Bible lessons and Jason led the recreation time!!   We visited areas surrounding the town as well as the downtown Cochrane area over the course of the week.  We were able to visit door to door in a great neighborhood but were broken hearted as we walked from many different homes and families responding kindly that they had no need for a god.  

As the week progressed, God began to press on Jason's heart, a strong need to be there.  We finished the week and flew back home to our precious babies and we couldn't wait to get our hands on them!!!!  The reunion after a week was priceless.   In the days to come, Jason and I began to share things God was revealing to us both and it was without question God was calling us to step out.  We will be moving our family to Alberta, Canada.  We don't know how long...  As Hayden first asked, "how long will we be there, Mom?"  I responded, "Buddy, when God calls us away He doesn't tell us for how long."
