For Your Heavenly Father Knoweth...

Well, I have been informed by my aunt that I haven't posted anything since July 3rd (she keeps pretty good tabs on that!) and I was encouraged by my sister to journal or document my journey...but blogging had become too vulnerable for me.  But that is why I began blogging years ago - to make myself become more open and vulnerable so to come back to it at a very vulnerable time of my life makes sense in a crazy sort of way.

Monday, I received a call from my husband that the sellers of the home that we were in contract for - backed out.  A week and one day before our closing date of the 28th.  Man, does that kill your faith.  But I know that God is my Father and He will take care of our family.

It is like what happened Sunday.  The girls and I had gone to my parents' church in Grover Hill to attend their Sunday morning service and visit with family.  My dad had invited my Aunt Connie and Uncle Gary, my Aunt Sandy and my cousin, Larry for lunch.

As we sat laughing and talking in the church basement over lasagna and garlic bread, Uncle Gary came over to me and pressed something into the palm of my hand.  I looked at him and he said, "Use that for gas money for your trip."

The next day, I was Face Timing my sister while I did the dishes and I was telling her about it.  I started bawling explaining that it just wasn't a money gift to me.  It was so much more.  It was an uncle that saw his niece on her own, ready to cross the country with four girls and a dog...wanting to take care of her.  It made me feel so treasured and taken care of.  Even as I type this story, tears are streaming down my cheeks - that's my uncle.  

It doesn't matter how old a girl gets, she still needs her dad and maybe like this, her uncle, to let her know that we got you taken care of.

So back to the call.  I know God has it taken care of.  He knew this would happen.  He's there to take care of His daughter.  I pray that whatever situation you are in today, that you will be able to feel the love of your Heavenly Father.
