Well, today the failures and fears have surfaced instead of the faith!
I think since we have arrived here, I expected that God would just pave the way miraculously for a job, etc.... We spent the day looking for his maritime towing companies that were supposed to be all in a row on Hwy 90, and we could not find any of them! We are pretty destitute at the moment, and I realized how easy it is for some to be homeless if they do not have the support of family and great friends! So, today- all my fears and all the thoughts I have about myself being a failure have come to light. I thank God for Todd and how we complement each other. He is the one that can put a smile on my face at any time! Tomorrow is another day.
Anyway- I am writing because I was taking a bath when the Lord just hit me upside the head with something. I was thinking about my post on fb about already missing being on the boat, and I surely miss the water. Everything about being there was just "perfect"- and I put pictures on that everyone was "jealous" of- the sunrise, sunsets, dolphins, moon out my bedroom window, etc... and God just let me know that He DID send us here and it is more than just Todd's job. I think that the call that is in me and hasn't gone away - even after Gibsontown- He let me know that all of this is so much more than me living in "wonderful" circumstances! I do not know where all this will lead, but He is using all the things we are going through now- for His glory. Just pray that I will be like Shadrach, Mechach and Abednigo-- who said, "Our God is ABLE to deliver us from the fire, but if He does not- we will still worship Him." (paraphrase )

We are in a "cheap" motel tonight, and hoping to get a tent tomorrow and stay in a state park the rest of the week. The weather is going to be nice.
We are feeling a little of what it feels like to be "hungry" and notice how all the things we say show just how "spoiled" we are. All of us really can do without more than we think we can.

So, as much as I would LOVE to be on that boat, sitting by the water-- I would much rather be where He has told me to be.

Just please pray for us as we continue this "journey" and try and figure out what it is all about.
