Today we went to Pittsburgh, for Josh's job interview. However, when we got there... His interview was rescheduled for tomorrow, and the apartments we had appointments to see were already sold, save for one which does not allow pets. Needless to say, Josh and I... Mostly I, were discouraged and deflated. I felt as though we had been praying for this for quite a while, and it felt very discouraging having so many road blocks in one single day. But, as we went through with the rest of our plans.. Dinner and a date movie, I started realizing that even though things may not be going according to my plans, they are still going according to God's plans. We need not get discouraged and deflated because of one bad afternoon, because God is in complete control.
We went to see the movie "the vow", (silly chick flick, I know) but it made me realize just how good we have it. We have a wonderful marriage, loving family, awesome friends and worlds and worlds of possibilities ahead of us. It's humbling to think about, really. People who have many more or perhaps much more profound struggles, (relationships fraught with brain injuries) can be much more grateful and much more content than I am, and really, what do I have to complain about? I need to learn gratefulness, and contentment. I Ned to trust God with all steps in my life. Lord, I can't do it on my own, I need your help to keep my eyes fixed on you, and to trust fully in your sovereign grace, and your plans for us. Thank you lord!
Love, Sara
