It's funny I just started thinking about this blog of mine again. It's been almost exactly a year since I last posted. It's been amazing what God has done in that year. God did provide the jobs and even a place to live for us in the Dallas area. It has been an amazing testimony to His mercy and provision for our life. The church has been going well, and we've gotten to see families and people grow in the Lord, and several get saved, and baptized.
Recently, actually almost a month ago now, my hubby lost his job at the bank he had been working at. Even through that we've gotten to experience God at work, and so far we're doing okay. Right now, we're just seeking out where God may lead next, and what door He will open.
I heard a song on the radio one morning, more specifically right around the time when we were sure Patrick was about to lose his job. It was the Fee song "Everything Falls" and I put part of the lyrics below. They are a great reminder of these words spoken by Christ: "In this world, you will have trouble, but take heart for I have overcome the world" John 16:33 No matter what is going on, God is completely in control, He is still on the throne, and He will provide if you just hold on to Him.
You said
You'd never leave or forsake me
When you said
This life is gonna shake me
You said
This world is gonna bring trouble on my soul
This I know
When everything falls apart
Your arms hold me together
When everything falls apart
You´re the only hope for this heart
When everything falls apart
And my strength is gone
I find you mighty and strong
You keep holding on
You keep holding on
