Birth

Wow! What a week it's been. God sure has me out of my comfort zone a lot lately! I know that He is in control, but I'll admit it's not always easy to remember amidst life's current circumstances. Today I saw a car lisence plate that said "Psalm 91" - I knew I'd read it before, but today I read it again..... "he who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty." God wants to be that to me right now and it's definitely taking me being broken of pride to humble myself before His Greatness. When I've taken care of myself for as long as I have it just becomes part of life. That's no good reason though. So, while this time is of brokenness, it is a time when I know people are praying for me and I can't wait to see what miracle He does so that I can confess his Greatness to the world.
Birth.... This week Owen Robertson was born to my good friends Julie and Eric. It is such a beautiful thing to see a newborn child. God created Owen and knew his name before the world began. He knew that Julie and Eric would be his parents and that Kate would be his sister. It made me think of Psalm 139, He knew the number of days we would all have before time began. Think about that a minute... for real think about it. What a loving Creator and Provider we have.
My sincerest thanks goes out to all of you who are praying for me during this time of looking for a new job (hoping that I get the job with the Civil War Preservation Trust) and looking for a place to live.
You all know that friendship and relationship building is my favorite thing to do and my passion. I have started to volunteer with Capernaum (part of Young Life) and I can tell you that it is just amazing to see how simple the love of Christ is. Our students with special needs are amazing. Some of them can not speak, but when they smile you feel like it's God Himself.
I'm sorry for rambling on.... I am just in a "mushy" mood right now.... Please feel free to post a comment.

In Him,
