New Beginnings...

It has been a crazy month and I have thought about writing but so much has happened and changed it was hard to sit down and write it all out.


Kentucky is Beautiful! My favorite kind of beautiful.  Green with tress everywhere. 

Basement apartment with our own drive way and entrance.

We arrived June 18th after a weekend of travel and family.  Our ABF relocube arrived with our stuff just minutes after we pulled up.  The internet company also showered up within 30mins.  We were blessed and amazed at the apartment we showed up to.  If you were unaware, we had only seen pictures before moving in.  It is perfect.  Enough space for all of our stuff, closet space, halfway under ground (big help since its been in the 100s here!), and now we have a washer/dryer in our home.  It is the little stuff for me :)

It is also so nice to not be living out of boxes ( I will confess the 2nd bedroom still has a few boxes...thats Brian's project since it will be his space for studying).  We are very blessed.  Our landlord's had us over for dinner the first night we arrived.  Everyone has been so nice and helpful since moving to Wilmore.  I am excited to find our community here.

The Lord's provision has been above and beyond anything Brian could have dreamed of.  The moving details all fell into place.  Our apartment is great.  Our landlords are great.  Brian started a job this last Monday working construction/remodeling with a guy who started the company after he finished seminary 8 years ago.  Brian loves the guys he works with and is enjoying learning how to do some new things.  He isn't liking how sore he is. This job is perfect because he is able to work full time when he can (summers/breaks etc) and he is able to work part time during the school year.

I start a nanny position this upcoming Monday.  It is 45hours/wk Monday-Friday and its for 5weeks.  I am excited to have found something for the time being and it will meet our needs for now.  I have to admit I have been struggling with knowing God is going to provide and really believing it in my heart.  It is hard to admit because God has been so faithful before and every need I have ever had has always been met.  Satan likes to put other thoughts in our heads that are not truth.  I think it has been easier to get to me when I keep having amazing interviews (I am getting really good at interviewing!) and then they tell me it was between me and one other but they went with the other person.  But they really did like me.  I need to get better at not getting my hopes up I guess.  Anyway there are two positions at Asbury University open in the Admissions department and I have a phone interview this upcoming week for both followed by in-person interviews for the top 2-3 candidates.  Hopeful.

Trusting.
