Today we walked a couple through the house who were interested in renting. They seemed pretty serious and requested a move-in date during the first week of October. We’re scheduled to meet with D and L again on Tuesday to talk about “God’s plan for this house” and the timeline, so we’ll see what comes of that.
I’ve been painting at CT’s house and feeling a bit overwhelmed. There’s still so much left to do and not much time to do it in! Oh well—I'll do what I can and leave the rest to CT. :)
H and her mom took me out to lunch on Friday, which was really sweet. It was nice to meet her mom in person. She even gave me some flowers as a “thank you” for caring for H last Sunday after the accident. H also came to the Friday night group and seemed to really enjoy it.
Oh yeah—SK passed through NC on his way to Georgia and took us out to dinner Tuesday night. It was so great to see him again! We had a wonderful evening full of rich conversation, just sharing what the Lord has been doing in our lives. He was also able to attend the Acts Bible Study this morning on his way back to DC. I pray he was truly blessed by the Word shared today.
Yesterday we went to E and M’s reception and later celebrated LB’s birthday. It was such a good time of connecting, talking, and just being around people we love. One of the women at D and L’s pulled us aside during the evening and said she was really encouraged by our walk and our example. She told us that the Lord was “singing over us” with His love and approval. Wow. Thank You, Lord, for that sweet word of encouragement. It came at just the right time.
Tom has really been struggling again lately. It’s hard for him not to know “the plan” and to trust God without seeing it laid out clearly. And it’s hard for me to see him like this—so unsure, weighed down. I just want to fix it, to make it better somehow. But I keep praying, “Lord, he’s Yours. You know what he needs.”
CB let me borrow her copy of The Shack, and I’m about halfway through it now. Wow—what a powerful book! It’s emotionally tough in the beginning, but the author’s depiction of the Trinity is so creative and meaningful. It’s unique, but also deeply profound. God is definitely speaking to me through it—reminding me of His love and sovereignty in new ways.
We still haven’t heard anything more about the house church, and with DD possibly renting the house out, I honestly have no idea what or where God’s plan is going.
I think, in some ways, I’m still “medicating” by doing things, and Tom is medicating by not doing things… maybe we balance each other out? Lol.
I love You, Lord. Thank You for Your provision—every single day.
