Adventure

Arkansas was wonderful. I really enjoyed watching Teaven's mom get married and meeting more of his family members. They are so funny! The beginning of the trip was probably the most awful 2 days ever, but the rest went quite smoothly. I'll write more about those 2 days some other time. Spending time with Teaven was great. We work so well together when we don't have to be separated by distance. Less than a year now! I'm stoked.

So, I have to write this devotional for the RA manual, and I feel like I'm learning a lot from it. Wedding plans and money to make those plans a reality have really been taking up most of my thoughts and making me worry(see last blog). However, I've been pointed to this verse numerous times: "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails." Proverbs 19:21

I can plan and plan, but no matter what God's purpose will out rule mine every time. And, honestly, I like it better that way. It's been a crazy roller coaster with Teaven's job too, but it's been awesome to see how God is working in both situations and our hearts.

We've been talking about going to Russia again. I've been wondering lately if God isn't giving Teaven an actual job quite yet because He wants us to be there next year. I don't know, but I'm excited for whatever adventure is placed before us. Instead of being fearful, I am reminded that the best place to be is in the center of God's will and leave everything else up to him.

Teaven and I saw this on the wall in a steakhouse we ate dinner at in Arkansas. We both thought it was very fitting with what God has been teaching us.
