Just Gotta Have Faith!

You know I took this statement my Pastor in Pampa said a few months ago to heart, "GOD HEARS YOU". 2011 our family has been through a life change that some have fallen completely down from. I have learned to LIVE ONE DAY AT A TIME, TO WALK BY FAITH, TO BE STILL, TO HEAR HIM, most importantly to GIVE HIM CONTROL. All these things I have heard all my life, and I am still standing because He taught me those things, my knees are wobbly, but I have not fallen. Tonight my heart breaks for those hurting families who are in the same boat. God lets his people walk on water! He hears us! If he has given you a vision write it out! I have to be faithful in order to be joyful and triumphant!

Most of you know when I get started I can write a book... ;) we will not know why we go through what we go through in life until we get to that gate, but life is all a test!  It is our job to ask ourselves what can I change IN ME during this time.  My last days in Pampa were my closest days to God.  We have been covered by Angels through every step we have taken. In Feb. of 2011 when we heard Kelley may lose his job, we thought yeah right.. But if he does, than God is moving us on to better things.  In July 2 weeks after our amazing vacation in Red River, that became real and we still throught great things are coming! By November we both were FROG (FULLY RELYING ON GOD!)  I was screaming to God WHY? WHAT? WHEN? WHERE? Kelley was the cool cat pointing out, it was OUT OF MY CONTROL.  Tonight, after hearing a sermon yesterday about writing down the vision God has given to us Habakkuk 2:3, Chelsea and I was praying asking for God to send us our vision so we could put it in writing.  We both did and even drew our soon to be new home.  10 Minutes later Kelley came home not knowing that today was a holiday at work and he didn't have to go!  10 minutes, after that, our realtor called and said that he had shown our house tonight. The people loved our house and was going home to go over numbers and to pray about the number they would call him in the morning with to make an offer.  I wasn't going to post this info on FB, but it has touched me so much tonight.  I have been praying for 5 months for the family who was going to buy our home.  I feel like I want to hug them and I don't even know them or even know if this is going to be the family who will end up making their own memories in our home.  See God hears us!  Kelley was supposed to be home tonight!  We have to keep on keeping on! Some days are harder than others, but then you get those Golden ones that touch your heart in such a way, you really only can learn from them!

Come all ye FAITHFUL, JOYFUL, AND TRIUMPHANT!  As on Shrek, Donkey sings "You just gotta have faith!"
