God's Plans :)

Oh, my! I am overwhelmed by God's provisions. The consulate still has no news on our visas, as of this afternoon. That could be very disappointing by itself, but we have had several blessings this week.

Don was called to come back to work for the plumbing business he has recently worked for. He hadn't worked for about 3 weeks. He also got a call from the bus garage asking if he wanted to do an afternoon bus route for a while. These things are great, but the drive to Frankfort from my mom's gets costly. Also, as school starts back up (we homeschool, so that isn't an issue), the kids start thinking of fall sports. It would be nice for them to do something while we wait, but again, the drive to Frankfort...

This may not be flowing together, but, stay with me a little longer.

We have been hearing for a few months that we need to meet the McClain family, a family going to Costa Rica as missionaries. No one ever told me how to get ahold of them though. To make a long story short, we finally touched bases this week. Turns out they are leaving the 7th for the mission field (Pray for them!) The house they've been living in would be sitting empty until sold. The owners of the house, Mike and Katrina Jenkins, are Christians, obviously interested in missions, and their daughter used to dance with our daughter...and they'd love to have us live in the house until it sells, or we leave!! It has appliances and some furniture! It's bigger than our house we previously owned. And God bless the people who have opened up their homes to us, and you know we love you all, but a house all to ourselves! No packing up and moving in a week!!! No driving from Noblesville to Frankfort!!!

God always provides what we need, when we need it. Not getting the visas yet AND still living in other's homes and moving around may have been more than we could take right now. Not getting the visas, and seeing God provide for us in this way is perfect.
