We are so thankful for the opportunity we've been given and praise God for his amazing provision! One thing about this internship that is both challenging and so beautiful is that it is a really difficult job. This may seem strange to some who picture us playing sports and hanging out with college students all day, but there is so much more to it than that (and the hangout part can be really hard too!). Much of this first semester is realizing that God works differently at different campuses, that you don't know what your doing or have it all together, struggling with failure, and having to collapse on his mercy and grace for rest.
What does this have to do with moving? Well we found this out pretty early on in the moving process. Logan and I were traveling during all but a few days of July, and scrambled to pack all of our things for the move. The process involved a whole lot of ciaos, ruined plans, and much sweat and tears.
But God is good and his plans are higher than ours.
- He provided the funds we needed just in time and we laughed and cried at such generosity and love.
- The man who we rented our Penske truck from was so kind and understanding. This guy helped us push back our truck reservations on a minute's notice 3 times without any extra charge! Again, we laughed and cried at God's mercy and faithfulness.
- Some of our sweet Nashville friends patiently helped us move our poorly packed things on short notice. And we laughed with them and cried as we said goodbye to this sweet community of friends that we have been through so much with back in Tennessee.
God is good, and He knows what He is doing. He has blessed us so richly beyond what we deserve. I'm so thankful for His son!
Here is a sneak peek at the only room in our house the is completely decorated and unpacked: our fun retro kitchen!
Grace & Peace,
