We are in Texas.

First off,

I wanted to wait awhile to post an update, because I knew if I waited awhile, I'd have more to share, and how God is awesome. Thus the basis for this blog, is to share how good Christ really is in my life.

We are finally in Texas. We are a bit settled now, living in a spare bedroom thanks to Alf and Kelly, and looking for employment.

One of the things God spoke to me about before we moved here, was I will not abandon you, its something that I have to cling to everyday of my life right now. That He is still there, silent, but still there.

Life is a bit crazy for us, it seems like we've had a lot of struggle and nothing has been easy for us, since we have been here.

Even on the drive down here with my parents, and a box truck full of our stuff, the trip wasn't easy, it snowed/freezing rained the last 3 hours of our trip, that wasn't easy. I was also the one driving the big box truck.

Right then, I knew that us being down here isn't going to be easy, and that our prayer was to better rely on God, and He sure is putting us in a position to rely on him more.

Things have not gone easy for us. Getting my wife the transfer Job, and getting her into school.

My wife, transfer jobs. So you would think that it would be pretty easy, same pay, same hours, same everything just a new task (as in new job to do). However, that is not the case. Her hours were cut to part time, pay was decreased, so her leave will be cut in half, the only thing that remained the same was the health insurance. That came as a huge shock to us, because we relied on her working 40 hours, making bank at her nice comfortable job. Also, in STL her job allowed her once she graduated to keep that job, now once she graduates it will be like she never worked for the government.


Something we relied on. Something comfortable, now washed away into something unknown but known to Him.

Her school situation wasn't much better, financial aid hasn't come through yet, so they dropped her from her classes. Which with this government job, you have to be going to college in order to work there, so that freaked us out a little bit, because we have relied on her job so much to get us through the year of 09. However this is now 2010.

Everything got worked out with her school.

As far as her job. She doesn't start until Feb 1st. We won't get a paycheck until Feb 12thish from her job.

As for me, I am unemployed. I've been on hotjobs and applying like crazy to anything and everything to find employment. Its not like I can jump into a church and just start being a pastor, and its not something I am looking to do at this time.

The blessing of that, is I had an interview and I am awaiting a phone call for a second interview so praise God for that.

So here we still have to pay our bills with no income until Feb. Luckily we saved up in STL and can live on what we saved up for a until Feb. So its cool that God blessed us in that way, to wait on him, to provide for us. So here we have to sit and rely on Him that we won't drain everything to zero and to rely on Him to provide for us period.

As why God sent us down here, I don't know.

What I have seen, is that He won't abandon us. Things haven't gotten easier, but things are smoothing out. With us both working part-time jobs, it may be awhile before we can move out, and start a family but then again, I have no idea what God has in store for us, or what I am suppose to do.

Right now, I am on find a job mode, so I can provide for my wife and I. God will provide for us, and I'm just looking for the open door to walk through.

I am really trying to seek Him out, and find what He wants us to do down here. He sent us down here for a reason. Maybe even to rely on Him more. Only questions I have, and word to hang on too, I will not abandon you my son.

Praise God, for everything we are going through, good or bad, easy or hard, because it will only make us closer to Him. Something all of us in our inner being want. To be closer to our creator, Christ the King.
