Gods Overwhelming Blessings

I have had so much apprehension about moving, yet again, across the country, to a town that I have only passed through with a quick stop to eat or spend the night..... Knowing no one.... and not   knowing anything about where I was going or where we might live, if we would find a good church, or if we would even have the money it would take to settle in and get started.... we have stepped out on faith and prepared ourselves for this move as best we can with what God has provided us!!!! The trip was a tough one..... 3 little boys in the backseat of a car, trunk and floorboards jammed full, and my hubby and I said our goodbyes to family and friends and cranked the car and drove away. I felt ripped apart. For the 3rd time in my life I said goodbye to my mom (for the purposes of moving away) and this time was the first time I felt like I was leaving my best friend as well as my mother. I resisted the urge to cry, knowing that my kiddos would take their cues from me (I did however breakdown into a hour long cry that night after the kids went to bed at the hotel that night). We made the 3 day trip and arrived at our destination as scheduled with minimal issues.
We checked into the hotel here on Ft Riley. Next order of business..... House hunting!!!!!

We went to post housing to see what they had to offer..... AMAZING!!!!! God had a 4 bedroom 2.5 bathroom, 1958 sq ft house..... Brand new construction!!!!  And an immediate move in....I have been wandering this house for several days now trying to decide where to put things and how I want to decorate....

Suddenly, I am overwhelmed by Gods Grace and Generosity..... He has provided all of our needs and more.... I have my husband, my kids, a new beautiful home. suddenly I have a new outlook on this new place , God has blessed so much.

Now I am praying for a good church, good Christian friends and Neighbors that are less nosy than the neighbors of the past! I pray that I can unpack the house and that I can settle in and get into a routine before the school year starts. And I also pray that I can make my husband proud of the home we make here.

I still miss my mom. I still miss my friends. I still miss the familiar city that has always been Home. My roots will forever be ingrained in NC, But more so than that, my roots are ingrained in Christ... and HE is with me wherever we are! So I know he is here with me in this new place. And I pray that He will assist me in making a life in this unknown world called Kansas!
