Andy's Interesting Observation

We went out to dinner last night and we got to talking about things. He made the comment that it had been 6 years to the date of him being let go from Siren. We remembered all the emotions and hard times that that brought and Andy said "well, it happened for a reason...it was the catalyst that brought us here and we wouldn't be down here it it wasn't for that happening." I remembered that he had told me that he'd never leave Chicago back then. Heck, Siren was the reason that I up and moved from MI as Andy said he didn't think he'd ever leave Chicago because of his job. Anyway, we talked about how if that never would have happened, we wouldn't be here today. We both feel that things are falling into place for us down here and we think that the job he has now is absolutely fantastic and has been the best job that he's ever had. He feels like I do that the things that we've prayed long and hard for are happening for us down here. God picked us up and moved us to exactly where He wanted us to be and we can see Him at work in our lives. He definitely brought things full circle and it was kind of neat to see that when Andy made his observation last night. We couldn't understand why we had to endure all that then, but it definitely makes sense now. Just goes to show you that everything does happen for a reason and that God does know what He's doing, even when we don't. We're very grateful for Andy's job that he has now and all the blessings that God has showered us with. The only thing that I do wish was that we could have all those who mean something to us close to us, but I know there's other ways to keep in touch too and I know that we'll make new friends down here the longer we're down here.

Abba, thanks for taking care of us even when we don't understand things and why they are happening to us. We are so thankful for the blessings that you have given us. Help us to always put our trust in You.
