every good and perfect gift

One thing about posting the countdown when I blog – it’s really obvious how long it is between posts. Oops.
So it’s official – I’m moving out in September. And while I feel totally sympathetic towards my poor friends who are struggling with the reality of facing one more year at home…no matter how I wish I could find them an awesome pad somewhere with cool people and have everything work out – I can’t help but gloating. I’m sorry. It’s shameful. I’m getting out…oh yeah….
We all go through different stages in life – the hills and the valleys – and so often we don’t see where we were until after. Lately it seems like God has been showering Peter and I with blessings – supplying needs we haven’t yet taken the time to worry about. And He’s given us the eyes to see it, too, which makes it that much more amazing.
The latest thing is that God used a family member to let us know about an apartment which “just happens” to be not just in a good location, but exactly halfway between my job and Peter’s job. It’s exactly halfway between our parent’s houses. It’s a main level apartment (lots of light, and Peter won’t hit his head) in a Christian home, lots of character – it fits our budget quite nicely…and the couple who owns it are giving us a very reasonable deal to guarantee the place until we move in after our honeymoon in September.
And we weren’t even going to start thinking about it until next month!
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
and comes down from the Father of lights,
with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
James 1:17
