Letting God do His thing...

It never fails to amaze me how God works everything out for us in His time and not our own and also that He has such good things in store for us, better then what we think we want.

Once again, like I wrote before, I had our future all worked out. In the present moment I wanted San Diego so we could be 2 hours away from my family and because it was familiar to me. I wanted to send the boys the City Tree Christian School, where I use to teach when we lived there and I was going to try to get a job there. We knew living there was going to be expensive, but oh well, what could we do. Darrick and I have talked often about someday owning a home near the woods, we both love the outdoors and the forest. Darrick has also talked about wanting to live somewhere cheaper so we will be ok when he retires from the Navy. But those were our quiet desires for the future that we kept tucked away inside our hearts.

And then BAM out of nowhere God reveals His next step for our lives: Washington. God listened to our hearts and gave us what is best for us and not what I thought we needed. And today I had another comfirmation that this is the path God wants us on.

Today I talked to Jackie, who takes care of Jacob while I work, and told her that we are moving. She sat there a little amazed and said that her supervisors implemented some new rules for the providers that imposed on her family, like no home schooling your own children, etc... and she was considering quitting but was unsure what to do with finding another provider for Jacob. I told her we are leaving in December and that is the same time she was thinking of quitting! Can you even believe it? We love Jackie and the only reason we have Jacob there is because she and her family are Christians and that is the type of home we want Jacob in. But God is working it all out. I can't wait to see what He will do next!
