God's Got This, Trust Him.

We have been trying to find a place to live, with just our family. Right now at the moment we are in my parents house with our 3 kids and it's been rough but also good at the same time. We had a plan to buy a house and we were doing all the things that you do to buy a house, then we were also trying to find somewhere to rent, we wanted to have Christmas at our own house, badly. The house that we thought we were going to buy was just in a bad part of town, we did not look and see how the school ratings were for it until we did drive and go see the house. I googled about school's around the area and they were straight up all F school's. We want our kids to have a great education, I mean who doesn't want their kid's to have a great education? Man, I was not expecting that at all in the area we were looking in, so we just decided we were not going to even try with that house. 

 A little while later my husband drove to a mobile home park and the place is definitely a fixer upper. The lady who manages that park was so nice, so down to earth and we just felt a really good feeling about it all. We had some decisions to make regarding fixing it up and we made the decision to and also the owner was just absolutely understanding and human. I say "human" because there is a lot of people we have ran into during this whole house hunt and they are just super strict and will not work with you at all. This was such a blessing that we are able to fix OUR HOME up and actually be able to get our family in there and live comfortably and I am also so blessed to have a husband that knows how to do walls and floors and is a professional painter as well! 

I cannot even explain how excited we are to just be able to start over, we went through a rough time this past year and that rough time is finally evening out into this wonderful gift that God has given us. I wanted to share this not only because its amazing news, but because the process was very hard and we really had to put everything into God's hands. It is not easy to do that, but it is the only way I have learned to actually be able to keep living my life with a smile on my face through even the hardest of times. I was listening to Joyce Meyer's Podcast and she was talking about putting your trust in the Lord, put your trust in God's hands. I immediately got a thought in my head and literally the whole thought became a whole paragraph and it was this, "If something bad happens to you and your just like why am I even going through this? I have had many times with that same exact question, I have had many challenges in my life that I had to go through these bad and horrible things that it would take me a very long time to list them all. You have to put your trust in God. 

There is also a lot of people I listen to on podcasts that say, you learn from your failures, failures are not mistakes, you go through them for a reason, there is actual meaning behind that certain stumble. There is meaning behind every single thing that happens in our lives. If one door shuts, so if something bad happens, another door will open, something good will happen out of whatever is going on in your life. Like I said before, I have a lot of examples that would take me all day or however long to explain how this fits. One example is what I just shared if you scroll up to the beginning. This time, I just remembered that God always made a WAY for me, there is a way, he will PROVIDE that way, God's got this. I do not need to worry about it, all I need to do is take care of myself, my family, my kids, my husband, that's all! God will take care of the rest and it has been proven in my life so many times. Life is hard, but do not make it harder by putting all these trials on your shoulders and letting them sit there and get heavier and heavier on you. Do not let that make you lose yourself in the midst...even childhood traumas, I am sorry ya'll (if you did) go through that horrible stuff. You can walk through this storm, you can finally smile and say "God's got this", because he DOES. So, all these things that do not work out and you have no idea why it did not, there is a reason why that did not happen, there really is. Look around you and look at what you are blessed with, look at what you DO have.
