I know it has not been a year since the last post, but i had told Big John i was going to start blogging since i have a job where i basically do nothing! well i actually said to him i was going to post a blog a day but i hadn't had time! alot has happened since the last post almost a year ago, but we moved back to Louisiana and i recently got this office job (which i love) but we are all caught up with work that there is nothing to do unless someone places it on my desk!
God has been good to Big John and i since he got saved back in 1998! when we left Texas back in July of 2010 i wanted to question Big John about moving back to Louisiana but i held back and said to him well if you think this is God's will well lets go back! and in moving back i have seen God's hand in all that He has done for us! there has been plenty of times i question myself but ultimately i leave it in God's and Big Johns hands because we have that promise from God that He will take care of it all if we just are submissive to him and i know if anything goes wrong God will deal with Big John and all i have to do is follow! now i have to say that it is not easy to do and sometimes i get scared but i have to look back and see all that God has done for us and how he has taken care of us! now sometimes i don't get what i want but i do get what i need!
when we left in July the only one that had a job was Big John! we didn't have a home to come to so we stayed in the prophets chamber in the church for about 3 months (houses are not available in this area so easily) but we got a house which i love and i am happy with! we had been looking for a house and i had said i didn't care where or how it looked, i just wanted something quick! well i had started working selling furniture at a local store here and had plenty of down time! well i started looking at magazines and i had seen a picture of a faucet that i just fell in love with and had told God if we get a house i want a faucet like that and i am going to tell Big John that i left everything i had and known in Texas to follow God and him where ever he wanted us to go and all i would ask in return was for this faucet i had seen in a magazine!
well we got a call from a lady that had a 3 bedroom 1 bath home and we went to go look at it! it was OK, not the best but it was in a good area and within our price range. i wasn't totally sold on the house but i figured oh well this has to be it because we have not seen any other homes available! well we got the application and filled it out and held onto it for about a week! when the lady called to see if we were still interested we told her yes and we would take the application to her! well i sent Diana to go and give her the paper. the lady said she would run our credit and call our references and the house would not be available for another 2 weeks! so we said that was OK and said it was all Gods timing but the lady assured us she would hold the house for us. well the following day Big John called me at work and said he had another call to go see a house that was readily available. so after i got out of work we would go see this house.
so when i got out he went and got me and we went to this house. i liked the outside and the neighborhood BUT when he opened the door i saw the same faucet i had seen in the magazine! i knew then it was the house we were going to get and i had peace! i had not told Big John about the picture in the magazine and he asked me what do you think about the house and i told him i like it but its up to you! we talked about the pros and cons of both houses and he decided to go with the second house that had my faucet! i said all this to say that God knows the desires of my heart and to save Big John some grief over a faucet! God is so Good to us!
after he chose the house i told him about the the faucet and he laughed and told me you see God knows your heart and will take care of all our needs and some of your wants!!!!!
