It's funny and humbling to realize how silly our plans our in comparison to God's, isn't it? When after all the time we've spent trying to piece details together and stressing about the incoherence of it all, God steps in and shows us what actually happens. Everything we've planned is washed down the drain when His plan for us is revealed, and suddenly, the details we worried endlessly about fall right into place. Do ya know what I'm talking about?
Many are the plans in a person's heart,
but it's the Lord's purpose that prevails.
Proverbs 19:21
After months of praying, Byron and I joyfully waved goodbye to our plans as God overwhelmed us with His:
1. Byron was offered a job (one better than the one we've been praying for since before the wedding, which he had to decline).
2. We found an apartment in the middle of our 2 jobs with a unit becoming available this Friday!! which is great because . . . [#3 & #4]
3. Byron's new job start on October 1st!
4. Our lease in Macon ends on October 11th.
We have an exciting few weeks ahead, filled with packing, moving, unpacking, a new job, and living together again! Amped does not describe our feelings right now. We are so thankful for God's faithfulness and His love for us.
But you, Oh Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
Psalm 86:15
