Peace like a river in my soul...

We were able to spend some time tonight down at the river. It was a good family time. Kids and Dad all got wet and even Shay took a swim. Her first swim ever in her life! She did very well! It always amazes me as I look around at the things that God has created and marvel that he put them here for us. I love to enjoy all the things that God has for us to see and do while we are here. What a freedom comes when we begin to see that everything is in his hands, and all of our worries don't change our circumstances. Just prayer, and time with our Father, changes not our circumstances neccessrily, but our outlook on them. When we truly know that He has it under control, and he loves us, and wants what's best for our lives, then we can relax, and let him take over the reins. And this brings us sweet Peace. Doesn't it?
I have been in prayer for our job here since before we left, and I kind of thought I had it all figured out, only to find, that I didn't. :) We are still in the midst of what God is doing, but I can rest assured that he knows better than me, what my family needs. We know that we have a purpose here. We know that God is always on the increase. We also know that His will is better than ours could ever be. So, I am encouraged, and excited to report what God is doing...once he shows me...which I think should be very soon!
