About this Story....

Welcome to "Caterpillars to Butterflies." This is a narrative of our faith journey and the incredible transformation God performed in our lives from 2007 to 2009. It is a story of God's unwavering faithfulness and what happens when we choose to trust Him, regardless of how circumstances appear. Through hardships, struggles, loss, and confusion, God revealed Himself to my husband, Tom, and me. We learned invaluable lessons about letting go of our own logic and understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6), surrendering our personal goals, and embracing His eternal purpose for our lives. Ultimately, this journey revealed His redeeming and transforming love for us. We hope our story inspires you to nurture your own faith and deepen your relationship with Him, trusting in His faithfulness no matter what challenges you face. May our journey from caterpillars to butterflies encourage you on your path.

Unexpected Doors, Unmistakable Provision

I have been so busy that it’s been hard to keep up! Things changed a bit from the last report. On Wednesday, we received another home offer! Tom and I recently met a couple, and as we shared our testimony with them, it included our adventure of waiting for God to open a door for our next place to stay. They called us on Wednesday the 10th and said that they were heading out of town that Saturday and, if we still needed a place to stay, we could stay in their home after they left. They were visiting family in California and then heading to the Dominican Republic on a missions trip for a couple of months—so we are now staying in their home until November 9th!

God is so amazing in how He has provided for us. We may still end up at D and L’s at some point before the end of the year, but again, we know that however it works out, God’s provision will be there for us.

Another really cool thing about this couple is that they even offered us their beach house if we needed it! We initially declined, but then I thought it might be fun to go to the beach for my birthday next weekend—so we’re able to do that too. The amazing part of all of this is that we had just met this couple. We were almost complete strangers, and they opened their home to us. How often does that happen?!

E had her MRI done, and that came back clear as well. The good news is that nothing major is wrong; the challenging part is that they still can’t determine what’s causing her headaches. They gave her antibiotics on the off chance that it’s a sinus infection deep in her sinuses, so we’ll see how that goes.

Other than that, Tom and I are continuing our daily routine—meeting with people, doing our best to “Love and Respect” each other, and walking out what the Lord is asking of us each day.

Father, I thank You that we can trust in You and rely on You for all things. I thank You that while we cannot predict when, how, or what You will do next, we can know that You are faithful and trustworthy, and that You will provide all we need, exactly when we need it. In Jesus’ name, amen.
