PRAISE GOD!!

Why is it that when times are hard and we have no idea how things are going to work out that we doubt God even though He's come through EVERY time?!!
He has yet again provided for us in a way that we didn't even imagine. As I'm sure you all know our house in Jax is still empty which is holding us up from getting our own place here. Just as we were realizing there probably wasn't a way for us to be living by ourselves before the baby came God showed us His plan!

We had someone we just met offer to let us live in their 4 bedroom house on a lake until June. It's their vacation home and they said the Lord told them to bless us with it since it sits empty all winter. Oh, did I mention all we have to pay is electric?!!!

So, when we were worrying about how we were going to come up with a deposit, lease, and other hassles of a new place, the Lord had this already in the works! That amazes me. Then it makes me feel horrible for worrying and doubting in the first place. Why is it we forget so easily when it's not going how we want?

We move in tomorrow! Visits are welcome!! There's plenty of room- we have a 3 acre fenced in beautiful backyard with a big deck! Oh, and let's not forget the view from our bedroom of the lake!!

I can't even grasp that the Lord wants to bless us this much. This is the only way we can be in our own place until our townhome rents and once it does we will be able to save a lot of money!
Lord help us NEVER take your blessings for granted!

That is SOOOOO awesome! Praise God. He is so good! I love your questions Marie. I'm sure we all think that too. Why do we doubt and worry?? He probably laughs and frowns at us all at the same time. The house/view/location sounds perfect. Enjoy!
