I actually revamped this whole blog site...it was just mine before Mike and I were married and I had 2 posts in it from a year ago. I changed it up today and wanted to start journaling about all God has done in me and Mike's life.
That's why the title of this post is called "The Goodness of God"...I can honestly say God's goodness took over my life fully last year. And I know it was because I was obedient to Him to do things that were not what I had in mind. Moving back to Branson after being at Living Word for 4 years, loving my job there and everything I was apart of....and then spending 6 weeks in Nashville fighting for my grandmothers life. Seriously eye opening...All of this with a relationship with Mike in Canada...never for one minute did I think that it would all end...I knew I just had to press through and do what God had me to do. Mike on the other hand was at putting together the youth group, paying things off, and trying to find a job that was stable enough to support us. Let's just say the natural was not looking good, but THANK GOD we don't have to look at that!
2010 was a whirlwind being engaged in April and married by June...God really did a number and I am so thankful!
Psalm 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my daysthe house of the Lord (and His presence) shall be my dwelling place.
Psalm 31:19 Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear, revere, and worship You, goodness which You have wrought for those who trust and take refuge in You before the sons of men!
I love this last verse! I believe this sums up everything I went through those 10 months. I chose to trust and take refuge in the Lord through everything. I wasn't going to worry and fret over if Mike and I were ever going to get married...did the thoughts come? YES! But I fought and fought hard! It was SO worth it!
I charge you out there that are dealing with things that the GOODNESS of God can come into your life if you only trust and take refuge in Him!
Love you guys...I will try to get Mike on here to write...let's see if it works! :)
