One Step at a Time

(The above picture was taken in Gatlinburg TN)

As I walked across the dark parking lot one last time, I couldn’t believe my job was over. Five years of my life is now behind me. But, as I got into my van and drove away there was such a feeling of freedom, the sadness was pushed to the back of my mind and I felt at peace. So, I know what you are thinking, WHY did you leave your job, what happened, etc? We (my hubby and myself) took a leap of faith and did what we felt God wanted us to do.

I am sure some will think us crazy, others will wonder why it took us five years to make this decision. I do not have an answer to that, other than to say, we did it when God wanted us to. Our ways are not His ways and we are learning to trust Him as we go. Now that you know where we are in our little journey in faith, let me tell you what God has done for us in the last 2 ½ weeks since I put my two week notice in at work.

The very day I planned on putting my notice in, I was all kind of nervous and fearful. I knew better than to write our budget down on paper because I knew it would scare me even more. But, even in my fear God was working, I sure am glad he works ALL the time. I went to the mailbox that day (just two hours before my scheduled shift) and a $100 check was in the mail. It was very unexpected and I couldn’t help but weep at the encouragement of the Lord. I came in to the house and told my boys, (I feel it is critical for them to see God work in our lives) I said “see boys, God is taking care of us already.” My youngest son, looked at me and said “Mommy, God is taking care of us just like George Mueller.” The tears really did start to flow then! Here my seven year old son is comparing our life to that of the great man of faith George Mueller, what a humbling experience for this Momma.

Since that day 2 ½ weeks ago God has brought to us more than I would normally make in a two-week period. He is supplying MORE than we imagined and I am excited to see where he will lead next on this little journey in faith. I do not know what tomorrow holds, but I know who holds it and I am so thankful that he holds me as well.

Luke 12:28

“If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?”
