Jeremiah 29:11
11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
It has been an incredible process. I can still hardly believe that it is finally a reality. I am still in the mindset that I am on one of my many vacations here and I am going to be going back to Charlotte any day now.
It took me about 16 months of waiting from the day I put the for sale sign in my front yard to get to where I am today. I somewhat blame myself because I made the mistake a while back in asking God to give me patience in my relationship with Kristin. The moral of the story is to be careful what you ask for because you may just get it. It won't come out how you plan or want it to. God will give it to you how he wants you to get it. But let me tell you it will be sweeter God's way. I could have forced this move a year ago but I would not be in near as good of a position as I am now.
After I sold my house God lined up my parents place to stay while I closed things out in Charlotte. Next he provided me a place to stay in Baton Rouge that was exactly what I wanted, a garage studio apartment big enough for me (by myself - no roommates, no offence Bryan). So I moved down here knowing that that I would be flight instructing while I looked for a more permanent job. That's what I thought at least, God wasn't done with me yet. With-in 24 hours of being in Baton Rouge I had a job interview for the Front Office Manager at the best hotel in the city. With-in 48 hours I had accepted an offer and was signing the paperwork. Not only is it the job I wanted but I am making more money than I was at both of my jobs in Charlotte. Later that evening I got a text from Kristin while she was in class, her memory verse for that day was Jeremiah 29:11, how awesome was that!
After going through all of that no one can tell me that God doesn't exist, and I can't wait to see what else he has planned in my life.
