And so it is in our life.......

....... And so it is in our life........ I am back on here to update those who might have an interest. It has been some time sense the last post. Once again life us has thrown us a curve ball...... last time I posted I made mention how excited we were to be soon moving into our home. I thought the next time I would be on here it would be to post before and after pics of our home. But alas it is not so ! I have before and after pics but we have not moved into the home and so there is not any reason to post them. After we had it painted in the colors I chose and were about to move in some things happened. I will not go into detail ( mainly because I want to keep my Christianity ) LOL . No, but for real there were many warning signs popping up and much $ still owed to us ( and still thousands owed to this day ). My family once again found ourselves being ripped from the little bit of security we thought we had. I was disappointed we would not be moving into the house I had come to love. I still find myself missing that little house. Yet I know that it is good we did not move in. I was actually praying and reminding God that until we were officially moved into that house he could still show us something else. Through the pain of loosing that house we also walked away from the biggest income provider we had at the time. There were many reasons to do so. You can only give people the benefit of the doubt so many times. I know we did the right thing though. Many know we were in Pa only because we heard God tell us to go there. From the very beginning I wasn't sure how long we would be there but was willing to make the best of it. I wanted to honor my husband in the decisions he was making. All three of us knew though that some day we wanted to be back down south. In fact, a few days before we knew we would not be moving in that house Chad, who loved that house told me he still wished we could be back in SC. I was praying that if and when it be God's will He allow us back down there. I knew I loved the house and I knew that I absolutely loved Gene being self employed. I knew we could be happy in Pa. I found I no longer strongly disliked Pa like I have in the past yet deep down I knew all our hearts were still in the south. Anyway, I know I am rambling and I apologize :) To try and bring all my thoughts into focus and write just a few of them can be challenging. I am writing this post from Myrtle Beach, SC. We have moved back down. Gene has gotten a job. He is working from a company 2.5 hrs. away from here. He comes home on the weekends. Chad and I are staying at an extended stay. We will need to find a home at some point but we are very happy were we are. At first we felt very disappointed and let down by Gene's job. We felt like we had surrendered everything to the Lord and started the journey almost 2 yrs ago for just this. We felt almost as if God had played a joke on us or forgotten us. Or maybe just didn't really care. It was extremely difficult and to be honest the last time I felt so let down by God was when my Aunt (and close friend) died. Might be hard to understand cause Gene had a job which is what we wanted for so long, right ? Not to go into much detail but we felt let down because through everything we still had each other and were always together. With this job Gene wasn't just taking a huge pay cut from his last job down here but we also wouldn't be together all week. If we were together it would be one thing but to be separated for the job seemed like a slap in the face. We are now more excited. I am trusting God sees a bigger picture in this then we do. And it looks like there will be some opportunities there for Gene. Also they are trying to get an office right here in Myrtle Beach and they already said Gene would be there. They have no idea how long that will take though, because the economy is really slow here in Myrtle Beach. Yesterday at church we sang " Better things are yet to come, better things are yet to be done ". I am taking that !
