back for a couple of weeks...

when i pulled up my blog today i read the quote i posted very early this year. "Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God. --Corrie Ten Boom" i don't think i ever thought i would rely so heavily on this thought process. mike and i have felt so blessed at every turn of this journey. i think i still will forever remember the day we said yes to our renters and thinking there's no turning back here we go. its been so so hard but so good. (i would never recommend moving when you are pregnant. i'm so emotional without drama and this move has literally put me over the top. i can cry at a drop of a hat.) it is so cool to see how God works when we take steps of faith. saying yes to our renters and knowing we are moving without having a place of our own to move to was so hard and still is hard. moving is also expensive and we watched our money go down further and further and praying God would provide. God has continually met our needs. the first week we were there mike had the opportunity at work to put in some long hours but also make some bonus money which is for sure a God thing. We are now getting caught up and back on track. I'm so so thankful but also amazed at how God works. We worry and He has it all ready for us to just say yes I'm going to have faith and trust God that we are doing the right thing. 

Yesterday I was driving to hopefully my last doctor appointment here and I get a text from Mike saying they ordered our house. Now I don't think I've ever explained this but we have been looking for places to rent and we need to be close the mike's work but also find something affordable. Not this past Sunday but the Sunday before Mike and I went and looked at a place and we both said yes it will have to work but there were issues. Such as the worry of how much snow and if he'll be able to get to work, flooding in the spring and being stranded, and also going through two gates to get to the house. (Mike didn't like the thought off doing a 22 hr day and coming home at 4 in the morning to open and close to cattle gates to get to his bed... not that i blame him) So we were still looking but had this place on the back burner. Now at work there was talk of the business putting us up in a home but both mike and i doubted this would happen. So when I received this text yesterday I was so so happy!! When I finally got a chance to talk with Mike he said the home was actually already in Dickinson and the boss just needed to figure out where he wanted to put it. Yes its a manufactured home but I'm just so thankful for a home at this point that I'll take anything and it also helps us out to not have such a high rent payment. So once again I sit amazed at how God provides. So in a matter of weeks I'm praying I'm in my own home but also telling God its ok if i'm not and having faith that He will provide. 

You can be in prayer for us as always as we all adjust to this change but specifically for a bad cold I have right now. Its such a blessing to be staying with mom an dad right now and getting some much needed rest. This cold is zapping everything in me but I'm praying I can get over it before I head back to ND. I miss my husband so much! Its hard to be apart when we need each other so much but we both know this is what we need to do for now. I"m pretty pumped this morning cause i'm going in for a girl day. A much needed haircut and color are in the works for this morning. Can't wait to have something different. Well I better get going. Love you all and so so grateful for your prayers. I plan to add more photos later next week when i get my computer back from the computer fixer people!! :o)
