What comes next

I have been so blessed to be home for the past year! God truly has His ways of using so many different circumstances to accomplish His will, and our desires if they are in line w/ His. Now, as this time is coming to a close, most likely since I lose my unemployment in a couple weeks, I realize that I wish I would've been better at capturing every moment, enjoying the little things, and not taking my beautiful girls for granted! It's so easy to get caught up in the day to day grind and details that we so often overlook the simple joys that God blesses us with! Felicity may talk more than I can handle sometimes, but she says the most comical things and asks the funniest questions, plus, I know no other 4 year old who can challenge me intellectually like she can. Callie may whine every few minutes, but it's those in between times I should be relishing because she is the sweetest and most huggable thing! I love them so much and have been abundantly blessed to spend each day I have with them. And I've been even more blessed that at the end of each day, the love of my life walks in that door and wants to be what each one of us needs him to be...daddy, disciplinarian, lover, hugger, rough houser, cuddler - he's amazing!

But even more so, our God is so amazing! He knows exactly what is to come next. I can rest easy on Him to provide for us. "Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens." Ps. 68:19

So for now, I wait upon Him to decide what is to come. I'm trying to keep a strong, unwavering faith that He will continue to provide for us and open doors where we need to walk in. I wish I knew His will at times, but then it wouldn't allow for a growing faith. Security is not found in knowing what is to come, but in resting in His perfect timing of what is to come. Each day I want to strive to rely on Him more and more!
