God is Good!

What a powerful statement that is; "God is good!" My cousin put those exact words under a picture of herself, holding her brand new baby while her son and her looked lovingly at each other. My comment was, "Yes, God is GOOD! What a precious picture."

I have been contemplating this statement for a week now and found that as I thought more about it I been surrendering more and more of my life to God, through this past summer.

I heard on the last day of school that surrendering is probably one of the hardest things to do. Amen.

It has not been an easy summer to really focus on this either.Three offers have fallen through on the house. We have to find a home for our dog, for his own safety. Kendra has had some complications after her surgery. I've had to take a semester off school. Just to name a few.

Now when I look back on it all and know I have asked God for guidance. He always shows me that He has a better plan for me.

The right person has not come to Hope yet to buy my house, they will just not yet.
There is a bigger plan for that house and property, it might not be the right person coming to town it might be the idea for the house.

Pitch is going to a beautiful family who don't have to leave him during the day, so he will be with them all the time. All of the time and patience we put into him is making this home all that much more enjoyable. They will also keep us updated on his life.

Kendra is fine, it has made both of us ask God to heal her "softly" and "smoothly".
She even hears me now when I barely whisper "I love you" (when I think she is sleeping) and I hear this ever so quiet "I love you,too". It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about how precious she is and those are the last words she is saying before sleep.

As for school, well I have prayed long and hard about this and there are a few things that are on my heart. I am still uncertain which path God is leading me down but I will open my ears and listen.

So, again I say what a powerful statement in "God is good!" I don't know what He has in store for me or Kendra but we will trust in His word all day, everyday.
