As many know, we have been agonizing over the decision of whether we should return to India as planned or if we should stay stateside to be with my mom and dad and help her through her journey of bone cancer. I cannot express how difficult of a decision this has been for Jeff and I...we truly wanted to honor the Lord in what we did and we wanted to be where he was directing us.
Since our decision to stay, I have been blown away by how the Lord has provided for our every need. The day we decided, Jeff was offered a full-time position at a family medicine residency program. In a matter of about two weeks we found a perfect 3-bedroom duplex for rent with just the right location for us. We have been looking for a van to buy as we have been borrowing one since we arrived home last year. We just found one today at a dealership where the manager used to a counselor at a boys camp that Jeff used to run, who gave us an amazing deal.
I am realizing (again) that the Lord is ready to provide if we are willing to step out in faith. We knew none of this before we made our decision and this is just confirmation that the Lord is in this and is providing for us.
These are all physical things, and I will share another time of how the Lord has confirmed in our spiritual walks as well.
I am once again humbled by how surprised I am when God's hand moves. Why, oh why would I be surprised???
Mom has been hurting a lot lately and we have just gone up on her pain medication today. If you think of it, please pray that she can find joy in the Lord amidst her pain and that I can walk with her through this in a way that can bless her and encourage her.
May Jesus Christ be praised!!
