We Macs are constantly tilling :: planting the seeds we've been given in hopes of new life springing up behind us as surely goodness and mercy
will follow us all the days of our lives. We will boast only in Jesus, the founder and perfecter of everything.

Uprooted

I have this great desire to be a consistent blogger, but I have to remind myself that nothing seems to be consistent in my life right now- I am thankful to remember to shower 2 days in a row. Although the past month has been a whirlwind, our life is beautiful. We can see God's hand over us more and more clearly as it looks less and less like what we planned. 

Over a year ago, I would have expected to be married at this point, but that is about it. Austin and I are now moved back in with my parents (wonderful ones they are to take us back in on such short notice) after finding out that we would need to be out by the end of the month (december). We figured out, Austin has moved 8 times in the past year and a half. And I have moved at least 3 times. Wow! We are certainly getting good at this thing! It is exhausting, as most everyone knows, but we really are enjoying the process of being uprooted. The more we move, the less material things we hold onto, and the less we look into acquiring in planning for future moves. God really is sinking deep within us that this is not our true home. We belong with Him. We are learning to be comfortable wherever we are. Today, we plopped down on my parent's upstairs couch- all of our things left behind in a storage unit- but we were content! We finally have internet, for goodness sake! This is a good day. The Lord is faithful, and we are thrilled. Tired, but thrilled. 

Our home, once again, packed up into boxes. Humbling to remember not to hold too tightly to things that can fit in a box.

As I said, we plopped ;) 


More to come soon on the adventures of the past month...
