We’ve arrived, unpacked and have started settling in and have celebrated our 2 year anniversary. While neither of us feels like we are at home, we are still getting acquainted with our new surroundings. We have not gotten used to pulling into a parking lot with a hundred other cars to walk up 32 stairs to go into our “rooms”. I still feel like we are on vacation- looking out the window and not seeing the ground has a little to do with that.
Currently Luke is in his third week of classes, it is amazing how time flies these days. (Feels like just the other day I was sitting at my desk at Piedmont HealthCare in Statesville.) He truly enjoys his classes and has started thinking about double majoring in Philosophy and Theology. However, he is still kicking the idea of law school around. He is actually going on Saturday to try out for “Moot Court”, which is like mock court.
Well I’m still spending most of my time job hunting. I have had interviews with two locations; one healthcare and one with Liberty University. Still waiting to hear back specifically from Liberty as a Student Advocate. I feel like I have been preying on my phone every time it rings. However, Luke and I continue to pray for the doors to open and God has planned for us. I have been impatient many times, but I always am reminded somehow that God holds me in His palm and is in control. He knows what is best for me even though I think I know.
We have joined the Liberty University Ambassadors Club, which assists with home sporting events. Luke and I were introduced to the Ambassadors through our close friends Bobby and Joan. They have taken us in as one of their own. They know how it feels for their children to be located in a different location and feel it is important to have someone close that can be supportive and share their love. They are our local prayer warriors and seem to constantly be in prayer for someone.
Please continue to be in prayer with us during our journey that we remain faithful and steadfast. We want to insure that we are in the will of God in all we do and that requires much prayer! Thank you for your faithfulness and love that you have shown to Luke and me.
Specific prayer concerns: Luke- health, knowledge, patience. Me- health, patience and a job. Our families and friends back home. Preston and family. Pastor Lee, family and doctors as they continue to search for what is wrong. Tiffany and Micah- job placement. As always remember to pray for each other and Praise and Give Glory to God for each answered and unanswered prayer.
Psalm 34 (Amplified Bible)
[A Psalm] of David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him out, and he went away.
1I WILL bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2My life makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble and afflicted hear and be glad. 3O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together. 4I sought (inquired of) the Lord and required Him [of necessity and on the authority of His Word], and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5They looked to Him and were radiant; their faces shall never blush for shame or be confused. 6This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. 7The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him [who revere and worship Him with awe] and each of them He delivers. 8O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good! Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts and takes refuge in Him.9O fear the Lord, you His saints [revere and worship Him]! For there is no want to those who truly revere and worship Him with godly fear. 10The young lions lack food and suffer hunger, but they who seek (inquire of and require) the Lord [by right of their need and on the authority of His Word], none of them shall lack any beneficial thing. 11Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you to revere and worshipfully fear the Lord. 12What man is he who desires life and longs for many days, that he may see good? 13Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. 14Depart from evil and do good; seek, inquire for, and crave peace and pursue (go after) it! 15The eyes of the Lord are toward the [uncompromisingly] righteous and His ears are open to their cry. 16The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 17When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their distress and troubles. 18The Lord is close to those who are of a broken heart and saves such as are crushed with sorrow for sin and are humbly and thoroughly penitent. 19Many evils confront the [consistently] righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. 20He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken. 21Evil shall cause the death of the wicked; and they who hate the just and righteous shall be held guilty and shall be condemned.
22The Lord redeems the lives of His servants, and none of those who take refuge and trust in Him shall be condemned or held guilty.
