The First Post

Let me go over the purpose of this blog again, just to make things clear.
In 2014 - has it really been that long - my Dad was let go from his job. He was notified in early April and was officially out of a job by July. He got his next job in April of the next year. The months in between were a pain and, during that time, God blessed me with being able to speak His promise - of security and love.
I started this blog to publish what I wrote to a wider circle, and Lord willing, touch more lives and bless them. So, on August 30th, 2014, I published my first post. Here it is:

"We're going through a hard time - who doesn't? God's definitely given us a new challenge and we're learning to trust in Him in ways that we've never done before. And at the beginning of our trouble, I really wasn't sure how we were going to get through it, or what was going to happen. Even now I don't know where our life is going, as a family and individually.
But God has something planned. I know He does. Over and over again, the Bible tells us God hasn't forgotten us, He will come to save us. He does have a plan. He plans peace, He gives love and He is with us now. I have seen this in the Bible, and He has shown me how He will take care of us: He's shown us by what He's done for our friends, our Country, our State, through random individuals who have gone through trials and come out strong, praising and thanking God. He's shown us in our own lives.
Sure, basically this whole year has been tough. But I can feel that God is with us by how He's taken care of us so far. We have been blessed over and over again - we are already saved! We have wonderful food, we have a beautiful garden, we have a working dishwasher, our fridge is still working, we have a good car, multiple discounts on things, we have friends and family, my Dad is finally out of a difficult situation, we have a lot of people praying for us, we've been able to do random things out and about - and I could keep going. Surely God is taking care of us - in our trouble He is watching over us - in our trouble He is watching over us in the big and small things. I look forward to seeing what He plans next.
Now, hopefully, I'll be uploading photos I've taken through this trialing time, of things the Lord has blessed my family and I with. It might take a while, because I've never done anything like this, but I hope you enjoy it."

It's interesting to read over it again, now. It's been a long time, and a challenging time. But it's especially interesting, because this Monday - only a few days away - my Dad has an interview for another, much better job. Of course, we don't know if it will be the right one. The thing is... it's in Washington, and we basically live on the other side of the Country.
In many ways, in a strange way, several of us have felt like we belong there. It just kind of feels right, so I am wondering...
Anyway, if anyone's reading this blog, we would appreciate the prayer. We need guidance about this...
and I know God will guide us and take care of us.
