Hanging on.....resulting in God's AMAZING!!

Many have been wondering about my latest post, so I decided to blog about it to help you all out....:) We are going to be moving at the end of Jan/beginning of Feb. to Melbourne, about an hour from here, to take part in a church plant........Those that know us and have "followed" us over the last few years of our lives will understand how AMAZING this is and how FAITHFUL God has been and what an AMAZING testimony this is for us........

Two words....Jim Britt:)

In all seriousness.....over the last year we have been seriously trying to figure out what God was doing in our lives......after Tony lost his job last Dec, we felt that we were not supposed to move, our home was in "FL" Our tendency in the past was to pack up and move, where there is a stable job and good money....well Tony sought the Lord fully on this one:) No full time job the entire year, just odds and ends here and there and unemployment, being carried through and not knowing how we were actually doing it, it didn't make sense, only God.......we have to move out of this house, we have been here a year and Bernie has been so gracious and helped us out so much, but it is time for us to move on.....so we knew we had to move here locally, but with everything that has been going on in the church here at Metro and then this last month with Danny stepping down, well during his talk he mentioned that there was a church plant in Melbourne with Jim Britt that would be taking place......we knew God was up to something, honestly, so many things have come together to give us confirmation about this.....so we are going to be part of the church plant in Melbourne. We went up there to look at a house today, only by God's grace did this happen and is working in our favor....with the stress of having to figure out, how are we going to save money and get into a place, having to pay a deposit, a pet deposit, and most likely first and last month's rent, which is standard protocol....only to find out, she only needs first month's rent, she doesn't do deposits, hasn;t for the last 13 years and has 5 rental properties and has never had a problem....So we are taking it, knowing that God has given us this gift.......knowing that He held us here in Orlando for this reason, and many have told us in the past, after going through what we have been through, that God would use it and I believe this is all part of his plan for us and was all along, we just didn't know it fully until this last month......I am just continually amazed and blessed and overwhelmed with what God has done and what he has brought my husband out of, I am so thankful that we "hung" on and did not let go.......oh the sorrow and pain was temporary, but the eternal reward is going to be priceless.......
