Oklahoma City

Daniel and I traveled up to Oklahoma City a couple of weekends ago to see some friends and meet our friends' little boy, Graham. He's such a good baby - sleeps well, doesn't really cry unless his pacifier has fallen out of his mouth and he's wanting it! Mommy and Daddy are super proud of him...look at him concked out on Mommy - wouldn't you be proud too? He's so cute!!

Our time there was really sweet - just hanging out really, but hanging out with people who really love the Lord and who really love us. We stayed thru Sunday church and after church we sat with Andy, Ryan, and Adriane before coming back to Fort Worth. They all prayed over us and then when we finished praying Adriane said she wanted to share something with us. She told us that while we were singing this song with the words something like "Lord I know you hold us in your hand. I will trust you even when I don't understand..." that God kept putting Daniel in her mind. As she was praying for Daniel, God gave her this picture of Daniel putting together pieces of a puzzle. And when he finished, the puzzle was beautiful. Then, the Lord came and He took apart the puzzle pieces and began reworking the puzzle. In His finished puzzle, the picture was even more beautiful. Then she encouraged Daniel to trust in the Lord and encouraged both of us to ask for wisdom in the coming weeks.

We have been seeking Him, asking what that vision means. When God directed us away from moving to Turkey, He also assured us that He had great plans in store for us. We've been in a journey of discovering what those plans are! It's so exciting! So restful just to know that we can trust in Him and that as He opens doors, we are to walk through them. When He closes them, we aren't to be disappointed. Rather, we are to accept it as His directing us to another place, something better! God is good! Yes, God is good! He is trustworthy! We can trust in Him...He loves us and has the very best planned out for us. We just have to walk in obedience...
