Blooming Pansies and a glimpse of God's plans...
So here we are approaching the end of the week, and Scott started his first day at his new job today. He called and said that he was enjoying his day, and sounded full of life. He was offered a job as a millwright on Saturday, and was very excited about it. This isn't in the aviaition field, like we thought we would be getting a job in, but this is obviously God's plan for us right now. Funny, how God's ways are not ours, and how we always think we have it figured out!
I am glad that Scott is settled. He was very ready to go to work after having a month off. He loves to work, and provide for us, and I know that I am a blessed woman to have such a wonderful husband that takes such good care of me and our children. But I am missing him, and have gotten quite comfortable having him with me all the time. We really enjoy being with each other, and exploring and being silly together. As a matter of fact, during our exploring, Scott fell into a new talent. Photogtaphy. He loves to take pictures of everything. He mostly takes pics of God's creations and landscapes. We can't go anywhere wtihout the camera just in case we might see something worthy of having it's picture taken.
I took the kids for a long bike ride today, and while I was riding, I was thinking, "This is a time in our lives, I don't ever want to forget. The little ones smiling, and laughing, enjoying the ride, and Bailey and I racing. (She beat me of course!) Later after lunch, we were cleaning up, and Bailey said, "Mommy wouldn't it be cool if we could go on the mission field together when I grow up?" I stopped in surprise and looked at her, and said, "Do you want to do that too?" She said, "yes" and I was excited to think of her and I doing that together. I told her she would be so good on the mission field, because she could teach, and she is so good with children. But, I had no idea that God had planted a desire in her to do that until today. My spirit was happy to think that we could do God's work together one day.
Something I heard last night was this: If hindsight is 20/20, then looking back, I notice that God has always been faithful to me, and he has not let me down, not even once. So, I have nothing to fear about the future, right? And neither do you! His track record lets us know that he is worthy of our adoration, and we should not worry, because he has it all in control.
