What a Saturday!

 Guys.  What a Saturday it was.

First, we went under contract (finally!) for a home in Florida!  It has been quite the journey these last three months.  Selling two homes and trying to purchase a home long distance is not for the faint of heart.  There were a lot of prayers of desperation on my end!  God is good!  I know He will see us through and if things fall apart from here...it will still be His plan.

I picked up Rachel and Jack and went to Evan's track meet which began at noon and was over at 5pm.  It was a beautiful day to be outside enjoying the day.

On the way home, I had a scare.  I was driving down the highway and a lady pulled out in front of me just as I approached the intersection at 55MPH.  I swerved to avoid hitting her which caused me to lose control at the speed I was going.  I didn't hit her but went across the oncoming traffic lane, over the median missing a pole, across the exit lane, and landed in the ditch.  I wasn't hurt.  A couple pulled over and was already telling 911 details as I exited my car.  I called Rachel who wasn't far behind me and they stopped to help.  Two policemen soon arrived and they all were able to push my car out of the ditch.  It happened so fast and it is so scary to be driving and braking but not able to control where the car was going or doing.  God was truly looking out for me and keeping me safe.  We all have a purpose for our life and mine isn't done.  We all have a time to die and mine isn't yet.  I praise my Father for His hand in my life!

I went from the accident to a dinner fundraiser that the girls were involved in.  The donations went to the Hungary missions team which Autumn will be participating in.  Adam, Rachel, and their family were able to come as well.  

What an eventful Saturday.  And what a great God we serve who is always doing a thousand things when we may be aware of three of them.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."  Psalm 27
