It's been my experience that there is almost always something good happening in every day. Some days it might be harder to find than others but it IS there I assure you. I have found myself in the last couple of months, while on the most amazing journey of my life, NOT finding the good. It was in the moments of doubt that God really started to speak to my heart. You know the kind of talks where he is lovingly scolding you for not trusting in his word. I could hear him gently saying "Just trust me", "It will all be OK". I could hear these words in my heart but my simple little brain was not having any of it. I felt him asking me, in the midst of all that was going wrong, to find the good. So here I am. Taking him at his word and finding the GOOD.
Today is our one year anniversary as Texas residents. My o my how the time does fly. It's hard to believe that we stepped off a plane armed with two large suitcases and a dream in our hearts. Headed for Waco Texas, where we knew not a single person and looking for our forever home. How silly does that sound? I mean really who does this?? Well...the Gentry's do. We knew with ever fiber of our being that God had indeed sent us to Texas and would guide us through it all. Crazy right? It didn't hit me until that first night in our new home, the Quality Inn Suites, that I had my first moment of fear. It didn't last long since other thoughts of meeting our realtor the next morning and imagining all the amazing country homes, with sprawling acres and a front porch swings, were dancing through my head. We didn't know what town we would live in but we knew God had it all under control. The next few days that followed could only be written for TV. We couldn't have made the events up if we tried. Stay tuned to see how it all unfolded and we DID in fact find our small piece of Texas happiness.
In other news, there has been some exciting movement on the job front. Doors are being opened and I am leaving in God's hands. His JOY is my strength and I have a feeling he is really overjoyed by the possibility ahead. So until tomorrow, sweet dreams readers. All 3 of you (Mama, Taylor & Chris)
