Faith through the Funk part 2

It's been about 3 weeks since I wrote the post below. I did not publish it because I honestly did not like the ending. And I knew God would not leave me there with that ending. He is constantly sanctifying me and transforming my heart.

This is not to say that I trust in Him more just because I now have a job after this assignment. I trust Him and love Him more because in these three weeks of uncertainty He has held my heart, led me to worship Him, and shown me His goodness even when things are bad. He has brought me to my knees so I remember how much I need Him. 

He is worth praising, even when we don't have a happy ending. 

So many times, we base our beliefs about God's goodness on our personal circumstances. This is narrow-minded and selfish, but it is also human nature. The simple truth is that God is good because of what He has already done for us on the cross. God will provide for our needs because he already has. 

He can work for the good through any situation. He has and He continues to do so. 

Albuquerque has been so good to us. We have loved our church, our new friends, my job, and our adventures across the state.  

So yes, me and Austin will be on the road this time next week traveling to a new destination. These past few weeks of no control and uncertainty has taught us to cling to Him, and to each other. Austin has provided much needed laughs and perspective. God has given me such a blessing in my husband. 

Gainesville, FL here we come! I will keep y'all updated:) 

"I need you, oh I need you; every hour I need you; my one defense, my righteousness; oh God how I need you."

God IS good ALL the time, and we unfortunately, are human ALL the time. This is an important lesson I have been learning again this year myself--how to sit still and listen while putting my trust in God's work and not my own. I'm so grateful to Him for teaching you these important lessons through this experience, and look forward to seeing what new adventures He has in store for you in Gainesville.

Our Story

We are (somewhat) newlyweds who are up for an adventure! Proud Auburn grads and still not quite sure where our careers will take us, we decided to hit the road so Ellen could pursue travel nursing. God has been good to us, and we hope we can reflect His grace wherever we go.
