Overwhelmed but stable

It's no surprise to Justin or myself that everything is a HUGE cluster of mess with purchasing our home. God seems to do these things so we remember who is in control. Let me give you a hint, it's never us.

When Justin and I started dating it was evident by week 2-3 that we were gonna end up getting married. There was no dramatic proposal, we just started planning the wedding. Despite everyone telling us not to, we had spiritual confirmation. We set up marriage counseling with the church and began planning.

There was an issue, Justin was still legally married. He hadn't set up papers for divorce. That was also something we had to do. The deadline was arriving so quickly that we were actually thinking that we would have to move the wedding. We decided that if all else failed we would explain to everyone what had happened and have a huge party.

Justin and I would go for walks at night and I would cry. It was weeks away from our wedding day and we might not be able to even get married. Justin assured me that God knew what he was doing. He's always had more faith than I. 2-3 weeks before we were to say I do the paperwork went through and we were able to get married.

We are now 2 days past our original closing date for the house and looking at closing, hopefully, by the second week of may. I was hoping God would have blessed Justin with a different position at work so he would be straight day light, but he didn't.

After many stressful experiences, and Justin remaining calm I've learned that it is true that God will never give you more ban you can handle. We were blessed with a washer and dryer, paint, lawn mower, weed eater, and countless other things that were given to us. Justin is getting a house warmer present that he has always wanted and I got one too.

God will never put a situation in front of you that you can't handle, may that be a child who is strong willed, a job that is horrible, a friendship gone wrong, He is in control. God have humans free will however he knew what he was doing. We have to learn to trust Him and His judgement. He can see a bigger picture than we can.

Just trust Him!!!
