Gods Faithful Provision = His mercies are new every morning and I am so undeserving!

All I can say my dear friends and family, is Praise God! For He Is Worthy!

    All the times I have doubted, All the times I have cried in fear, or in anguish felt helpless, I now think back on and feel ashamed that I ever doubted my God who is the maker of HEAVEN and EARTH and yet he cares for the sparrow and knows every grain of sand, and every strand of hair on my head. Praise Him!

   Since leaving my dear homeland of Oklahoma now 5 weeks ago, God has proven Himself Faithful and Amazing, time and time and time again! After being here for a few weeks looking for and applying for jobs, Timothy still had not found anything. I was just getting to the point of being very anxious when God gave him a job. Through these last few weeks, we have as a family been able to spend most of our time together and that in itself has been worth not having a job. I now realise that God had that planned in His timing of provision, because we needed to be renewed and refreshed in eachother & in the Lord! Every day God is grinding, whittling, and shaping away at our lives personally and in our marriage, making us more and more into the image and display that He desires for us to be. A picture of Christ and His bride the true Church of God.

Psalm 66 puts into words the song in my heart, when I didn't know what to write.
 "Make Glorious His Praise" "16. Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul."

Psalm 66
1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.
5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
6 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.
12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place. 13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

My God Shall Supply

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 Right now we are waiting on the Lords timing for our move to Kentucky as we are currently in search of a job, house, etc. Timothy is currently working at Pizza Hut delivering Pizza 3 nights a week and waiting tables 3 days a week. Along with working full time, he is still preaching/teaching at Hext Baptist Church between Sayre and Erick. We have been there almost 2 1/2 years and it has been a blessed opportunity for Timothy to grow in his preaching and teaching skills! I am staying busy caring for my husband, our home, and our two precious children! Lydia Grace just turned 15 months old 2 days ago! She is toddeling around everywhere and constantly trying to say new words! She is such a joy and delight! Her sweet smile and loving disposition can soften any heart, and she makes friends no matter where we go! She loves her baby brother and delights in patting and kissing him as often as she is near him! I am excited for her to have a playmate! Their relationship will be a sweet one as they are so close in age! Timothy Paul II is now 6 weeks and 2 days old! It seems that he is growing up so much faster than Lydia did! Though, he did start life bigger than she did, so I'm sure that plays a major factor. Lydia was 7lbs 7oz when she was born, and Timmy was 8lb 6oz. Timmy is doing very well and sleeping around 5 hours straight during the night, which is a major blessing for me. He is smiling now and is starting to coo pretty often which is absolutely precious! I am currently working on finishing writing Timmy's birth story and will try and finish it and post it here very soon :-) We have had some difficult times in the past few months, yet the Lord is our provider, strength and strong foundation! There have been times when I have questioned why and wondered if we were going to make it. And every time the Lord would provide and once again I would be amazed by His grace and humbled by His providence. These verses have brought me encouragement and have reminded me of the faithfulness of my God who owns the cattle on a thousand hills and clothes the lilies of the field! It has also reminded me that I must be ever watchful and making an effort that I keep my eyes on the Lord and not turn to see the things in the world around me. For it is only in Him that I can find rest, joy, and peace. 8. I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 9.Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: myflesh also shall rest in hope. 10.For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 11.Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:8~11

New Beginnings!

So much has happened since the last time I posted! God has done some amazing things in the past few years! Facebook is fun, but I feel a Blog will be a more personal way for me to share with family and friends what is going on in our lives. The big news right now, is that Timothy and I are fixing to begin an amazing new chapter in our lives by moving our little family of four to Louisville Kentucky! So stay tuned for stories and pics from our little families happenings!
