Two week Update

Man alot has happened these last few weeks. Sorry I haven't had a chance to blog lately things have been busy. Ok Lets see, Matt got the job at UPS freight and his last day at Lowe's was last Thursday. I have not seen him this happy in years, praise God! Deep inside though Matt is a little worried about making enough $ to pay all the bills but we know God is faithful and He will provide. We were planning a vacation in August with my parents to Bass Lake (they have a boat) but UPS said Matt needs to cancel the plans and does not get a vacation for a year. Matt was supposed to start at UPS this Monday but they postponed orientation a week, so we are going on a last minute much needed family vacation to bass lake. Here are a few pics for you of the lake. I grew up going to Bass lake with my family every year. It is such a beautiful lake with a ton of stuff to do. We got last minute reservations and are planning to leave Monday night after my PC show. Bass Lake is where they filmed the movie "The Great Outdoors". We bought a huge blow up boat to oar around in and are just finishing packing etc.

Today was one of those days. At times in your marriage things may get hard, but when you step back and really look at things you realize that you are so blessed and that God is working in and through each circumstance in life. Today has been a crazy day but ultimately God is on the throne and I am completely dependent upon Him. You ever think about how God gave the Israelites manna. It was only good for one day then it went bad. They could not store it up, they needed to look to God every day to provide their needs, and God was faithful. What a great place to be, completely dependent on God for your every need. It is so easy to have it all that you easily forget or don't look to or call out to God for help. May we continue to Pray and seek God to give us this day our daily bread. May God continue to strip everything that is us away and make us more like Him. Yeah it hurts but the end result is a beautiful sight. So here is to the process :)
