Well, here we are again, on the eve of yet another "move". It seems our family can NEVER stay parked in one place very long! But we have been in the house here on Powell rd for a year and a half, and what a blessed time it's been.
Last night as I was finishing up painting (in order to get our deposit back!), I was listening to an old recording of the Doxa band when we played at a camp down in Florida, and hearing it brought back so many memories... it got me to thinking about how over the last few years the LORD has had His hand on our family. Listening to Steve Moore sing made me think about when I first came to First Baptist Church, and how the LORD led our family to completely uproot from somewhere else and move there... about how He was completely faithful to help us with the transition, as it was extremely hard to leave friends and comforts we'd had. And not only that, but He also was even gracious enough to us to partially reveal His plan for our move, in that He orchestrated me to start leading worship in Doxa, and then to even bring me on as a full time staffer at FBC. Folks, I'm here to tell you that I was scrubbing toilets and taking out trash for a living... not that there's anything wrong with that (hey, I even really liked that job!), but God decided to answer my prayer for me to work for Him and to allow me to be a full time musician, with no theological or musical degree. Don't tell me my God can't work miracles!!
It was a good night. It reminded me that it is good to take the time to look back and remember what the LORD has done for us. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in looking to the future, we forget to enjoy what we have right now. It was good to remember all the good memories my family made in our little house, and I thank God for the blessing of it. I hope the next family will be just as blessed. Thank you God, for your ever present provision and love over us! We would be lost without You!
