God is good.

God is good. There are no words to describe how good God is. Since my husband Chase and I moved to Cambridge it has been a long uphill battle. From health problems, financial problems and the stress of a lifestyle change of going back to school, it has been a crazy 5 months.

This last month was the worst, though. My sweet hubby made a simple but dangerous mistake at work at the beginning of January which caused him to lose his job. Like many people, we live pay cheque to pay cheque. He had a handful of interviews over the course of the month but nothing was panning out. As you can imagine we were stressed out which was only making matters worse. Through it all though we knew God was taking care of us and would provide for us. It was through this trial that our devotional life started to grow and we grew together which we knew was from God. God also blessed us with our church family, immediate family and close friends through prayer and finances. I am so grateful for the body of Christ. This past Friday, February 3rd Chase received a phone call telling him that he got the job that he had recently applied to. What relief and joy we felt. Today (Saturday) we were our running errands while driving I was thinking about how good God is and of all the people he has brought into our lives since moving here. We have made some wonderful connections since moving to Cambridge and we are so grateful for all the Lord has done for us.

So, for those of you who are going through a rough time, I'm terribly sorry. I'm also grateful though because it is through the hard times that we learn to trust in the Lord even more.

The whole time we were going through this last trial the Lord kept reminding me of these two truths.
1. He will never change. (Hebrews 13:8)
2. He will always provide for you. (Matthew 6:26)
From these two truths I was comforted in knowing that God has provided for me in the past and because He is unchanging why would He stop providing for us now?

Over the years my mom has reminded me that when you honor God with your life, He honors you as well.

I hope this encourages you and blesses you. I know that reflecting on this past month and thinking of all that God has done has been and will continue to be a huge blessing to me.

God Bless
