the grace of God



my grace is sufficient for thee... i think about this tonight as it gets closer to midnight and just think what a wonderful God we have. this verse is on our church's wall and it hung over P and i when we got married... so fitting today as i moved into our house. the picture above is from when P's parents visited us, but that's our house now... today i sorted through bags, closets, went shopping and did so much to put this house together... but throughout the process not once did i think it was hard that i was moving into our old house. the walls are all painted new and there is actually hot water running in our bathrooms (although when we went to go use it tonight it didn't work, have to have someone come look at it), there is new furniture and ... it's just the grace of God... that's what TB and i concluded to tonight before we went to bed... my grace is sufficient for thee He says... yes it is.

i am really enjoying this house. already today we had A's friends come over and play on our porch. i know that tomorrow morning as early as 6, some kids will come and shout her name... then we have to make rules again... :)

A and i are both in our old rooms... i really like my room and now i have internet in my house... listen to this... 3G internet... yes here in this country we have 3G internet... it is perfect. can't wait to start catching up on e-mails and getting more blogs up.

tonight as i reflect and having heard TB say this a few times tonight, i am so grateful as God's grace is truly sufficient for me... TB mentioned and i know it's true that God has been clear in all my steps as i move forward in my life. i really appreciate prayers and discussions from people... this is what made each step easy and wonderful. i know that this past year has been an extreme life-changing year, but again how awesome that my Lord and Savior would want to personally and so intimately walk me through each step.

it's getting closer now to midnight... i am ready for bed, but just want to say... the Lord is good... and He is faithful...

**funny story before i close for the night... so there apparently is a rat living somewhere in the house... don't know where, but when sweeping we found some rat poop around the house, actually in one room... so tonight i heard some pattering and i was like ewww the rat... what am i going to do... then i realized it was actually just raining outside. ha ha... hopefully we could get rid of the rat problem. have to maybe get some rat traps... we'll see... ugh...**

please continue to pray for us... as we would like to see that the room with the rat problem (hopefully will be free of rat by the end of this week) be occupied by a friend of mine. praying and asking the Lord to open doors for this to happen.
