I am a California girl at heart, transplanted and living in the beautiful midwest.
In March of 2013, my family settled in to what I hoped to be our forever home. A beautiful mini farm just outside of Sacramento, Ca. Our dream home, really. However, what we didn’t know was that it was a short stop over. Just months later, we would be moving again. 1800 miles away to a little city outside of Kansas City, Missouri.
The unknown is frightening. Adventure is exhilarating.
Hebrews 12:2 But let us fix our eyes on God, the author and perfecter of our faith.
June 2013- May 2014 looked a little something like this…
Room 822. An overnight get away. How we did not understand at that time, but we very much we needed to be on the same page for what was coming up…God knew.
Trust. Oceans became on permanent repeat in my head and my heart. NOT a coincidence.
Setting Up Home. Little did I know, we would be leaving this gorgeous home just six months later.
Our Classroom! Hard work to turn our garage into our classroom.
Pink. Struggling with not having everything done and leaving on a trip to visit family.
First Day of School. I wasn’t prepared as I wanted to be, but it happened! I had high hopes for the year.
God Reads My Blog. My husband’s appendix burst into a million little bits.
The List. My husband chooses to resign His position and we step out on faith that God will provide a new ministry.
