I just have one word. Wow! I am sure that is a word that you will all see me using quite frequently in the near future! When God starts working it just always Wow's me! I love to see Him in action.
Robert got up from his sleep today (he works at night and sleeps during the day) he came in to the computer and started immediately looking at rvs for sale. This was a big jump. We have been talking about this path for quite a while. I have always felt that Robert was a wee bit more indecisive of the journey than I was. I am thinking that God whispered in his ear while he slept. Having him come in here and search for rvs was a major step. And he was excited about it! Keep in mind that we have no money whatsoever to purchase an rv with, but God expects us to do the legwork and see what is out there. Did you know that you can buy a really nice pull behind for around $5000 if you look hard enough? So we know that they are out there. And we know that in God's time, He will provide the way.
The second Wow! came tonight when Robert called from the road. He had spoken to a friend of ours about the path that we are traveling. The friend realized immediately that in order for us to do that, we would have to home-school the boys. His friend said that they had all of the curriculum from start through 8th grade PLUS offered to pay half of whatever tuition fees that we came across. That is a big WOW! Before, my husband would have declined this offer. But today, he grew. I am so proud of him. He is realizing more and more every day to accept the gifts that people are offering. His friend knows that Robert has always had a hard time with this and immediately told him not to say no. But the wonderful part is that Robert chimed in and said that he wasn't going to. He told his friend that he realizes that we will be living solely on faith and that God will send friends and strangers that want to help. How awesome is that? God is growing us both so much. I am so blessed.
It has just been a day of confirmation for us. We know now, more than ever, that this is the path that God wants us to travel and we are so excited about it. We realize that it is going to be a very hard path. Living on faith and relying on others is not an easy thing to do. But trusting in God and believing that He is going to guide us and provide for us makes the path a little easier. I am excited about traveling where He sees fit and sharing His love with others. I am excited about getting our hands dirty if need be. Our God is amazing and I can't wait to be able to share Him more and more every day!
I hope that you have all had an amazing day today. All days are amazing. You just have to slow down enough to find the things that God wants you to see. Even a blade of grass is amazing if you look at it through the right lenses. I pray blessings of a wonderful sleep all over you. Just close your eyes and let God wrap His arms around you. That is such an incredible feeling. Have a blessed night!
