A Small World

Its been a long time but I haven't been super inspired lately but a lot has happened and needs to be shared. We will start with a little life update.

Beginning of February Trevor developed an VERY PAINFUL abscess on his tailbone as a result of a "cyst" that had gone unnoticed and asymptomatic for probably a long time. So that was taken care of but surgery needed to happen to get rid of the underlying problem...but we were headed to Mexico.

End of February/beginning of March the infection and abscess was completely gone and we went to Mexico. This is now my third and my husbands first time getting the privilege to serve there along side Back2Back Ministries. More on that later.

Middle of march Trevor had his surgery, again VERY PAINFUL but he is now almost back to some type of normal and gets his stitches out Monday and returns to work Tuesday. He also was accepted to Wright State and gets to go to school for free since he is staff. We also were approved for a home loan.

Ok on to whats on my mind.

Mexico. It interesting returning to the same place and just seeing what different things God has planned for you and what does in you each time you go. We do the same things, serve the same people and yet I am blown away and the new things God reveals to me. A year ago I was angry when I went. I Was angry with God, Trevor and I were both unemployed with no prospects. I wanted to go to Mexico because I liked it, was able and wanted to serve the kids, I really had no interest in doing their planned daily devotions, I was pissed about this. So here is where I look back and laugh...I was such and idiot. If God taught me anything it was to trust Him and that he always provides for what we NEED!!
This time I got to share this experience with my wonderful husband and went a lot stronger than I did last year. I was excited about what God would do, I was excited for my time with Him. What I learned last year was repeated this along with a simple truth...from the words of Beth Guckenberger..."The story isn't over yet"
Which brings me to where we are right now. Trevor and I are so ready to be out of this awful apartment. We finally got our approval for our home loan and are getting ready to look at houses. As we look where to go and our current situation we keep thinking...this can't be it, there has to be something better in store for us. I know there is, my story isn't over yet. God isn't done writing it. He has big plans for us but at this time in our lives we need to be where we are, be content, prepare for the future and be patient. He weaves our story and when we are faithful to Him, He blesses us.

We may even end up serving with Back2Back some day! For someone who was luke warm about going to Mexico (my hubby this time) we both talked about seeing ourselves there someday. Oh how I can't wait for His new chapter in our lives whatever it may be!!!
