Hard Things

In 2011 I received a layoff notice, which was later rescinded.

About a month later, my husband received a layoff notice, that wasn’t rescinded.

We were forced to open ourselves up to a job hunt of the United States which finally lead to a move from California to Arizona — starting March 15th and we arrived in the desert to a home we bought on the internet on June 29th.

If you’d like to read more about it you can read it here (keeping in mind the last post is first), you’ll find the last posts about it first.  If you click here, you’ll see the timeline of our 3 month move and how God truly made miracles for us.  If you click here you’ll see a post about letting God own your life, and while that sounds like a country song — it was truly one of the most freeing moments in my life.

During this time I was searching for miracles in other people’s lives.  I wasn’t sure it could happen for us, but by knowing it happened for other people it did make me feel better.  I am here to tell you that miracles happen.  They don’t include fireworks or sparklers or heavenly chorus of angels, but they happen each and every day.

You are stronger then you think you are.
God loves you more then you can imagine and he moves heaven and earth to give you the experiences and be surrounded by the people that you need.
He knows your needs, he never ignores you and he is always listening.

Believe.
