Roommate Rummaging

It's about to get honest here but here's my heart:

You know how they say when it rains it pours? Its funny when you can't tell what is a blessing and what is not. Lately our house has been a place of discomfort- an extreme place of constant change. It's funny how we thought this apartment would be safe, a holding place for a year. We joked when we drove over to see it, because we had signed for an apartment without even seeing it-that's how pressed/stressed we were to find a place. And come on, it had a gate, pool, and from what we could tell- kind management.

Now, it's a little different. Our apartment is a dungeon reflecting the darkness that has perpetrated into parts of our lives. Thankfully though, that darkness has shown where the light has not been and needs to go. It's like yoga where you stretch and they say to let your self go deeper with every breathe so that energy can move into that space. Moving- that's what so much of our life is, but its also being. The beauty of living is finding a balance between the two.

And the great news?? We might have found a place- a holding, safe, fun, sweet, and joy filled place with the potential for great dinners with even greater friends. How different and how good and how evident that God's hand was in this good change! God, this great being who I love so much and yet doubt so often- he who holds our hand and never lets go and literally changes us from the inside out. Funny how all those corny Christian songs seem corny until you step into the dangerous waters of what faith really is and you see how those words are anchors to the truth that God hopes too hook onto your heart.

You are never alone and God is always with you- be careful what you ask for, it might be too much goodness to handle!
