union(noun): the growing together of severed parts b: a unified condition
One of the biggest victories that Blake and I have experienced during our time at Celebrate Recovery is feeling like we are growing together in Christ. For so long, we were like severed parts, striving to live for Him, but allowing our hurts and hang-ups to hold us back from the freedom He had for us. We are living in a unified condition now with Christ as the head of our home and hearts.
As we were making the path towards becoming unified, we were able to submit to whatever God would have for our family. We also began praying that He would provide a new work opportunity for Blake, one that would allow him to walk out his faith without persecution. God answered that prayer just a few weeks later. He sent a man into our lives that was also praying for us though he had never met us. This man has been able to speak words of life and affirmation into Blake and also speak the truth in love in a way that no one has before. He sees the journey God has us on and is so excited to a part of it. About a month after we met Mr. Lightner, he extended a job offer to Blake, one that we knew was from the Lord. After much prayer and confirmation after confirmation, we decided to accept the offer. We knew that we would be walking in disobedience if we didn't.
So are you ready for where God is sending us?? UNION, Kentucky. God is so good and His ways are better than ours. It almost humored me, that in the midst of a season in life that we are striving to be a strong union in Him, that He would send us to that very place.
We are eager with expectation for all that God has for our family in Kentucky. Although we are sad to leave Texas, the overwhelming peace about the move far outweighs any sadness. Please be praying for us as we make the transition from a place that has always been home to a new home that we feel is where God wants us to grow some deep roots. Be praying that God will continue to grow together the severed parts in our hearts and unify us with Him.
