Half the year has gone and we spent the last 6 months trusting in the Lord, even when we couldn't see what He was planning. We've made some hard decisions along the way. Decisions we never imagined ourselves making, even a year ago. But when God nudged us to pick up our lives and move, we couldn't shake it, even if we wanted to. We've been largely quiet through this time. Mostly, to rest in His presence, to discern His voice, and to wait for Him to direct our next steps.
Little did we know what He had planned. How sweet and how intimate the Lord would be in the midst of our trusting and waiting. On June 11th, we moved into our DREAM HOME. We didn't see this coming. But God knew all along. Even years ago, when this dream was just forming, He remembered the details. This move has been a crazy story of God's sovereignty and faithfulness in our lives. And to think we could have missed it all if we had not risked our own comfort and security?
I'll be sharing more of the details here some day but for now, I'm stepping back to June for a little recap.
For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” -Romans 10:11
Happy Father's Day to the guy who we all adore. He's the best of the best, y'all!
And we're so blessed to call him ours!
After church, we picked up two of our favorites for a quick and easy lunch. Sushi and Chips & Guac. 😋
I guess you can call him "Farmer Morgan" now.
We have 3 miniature donkeys that came with the property.
Here are Princess Emily, Donkey Kong, and Bob.
The girls had some friends over and they had fun giving the donkeys some treats.
Meeting sweet new friends has been such a great blessing for the girls! I'm so happy for them.
Fresh basil from the garden? Yes, please! Caprese is the quintessential summer salad, right? Yum!
Faith wasted no time planting new veggies and tending to her garden.
It's been really cool watching her take on a new hobby and learning the joy of her labor.
We often have guests who like to swim in our pool with us. 🐸
The kids love seeing all the animals around here.
Nearby, on Sagebrush Drive (known as the Peacock Street), various peacocks meander the yards.
Everyday, it's like waking up to a new surprise. We've never seen so many animals (dead or alive- lots of road kill here in the spring) since we moved to Texas. We've also seen a bobcat, deer, and a family of turkey- just yesterday in our yard. Not to mention all the squirrels, bunnies, horses, cows, armadillos, and beautiful colorful birds!
We spent all of June moving and getting settled. Thankfully, our new home is even closer to our church than our rental was. We are loving Flower Mound, our church, and the beauty and peacefulness of our new home and property. Feeling incredibly blessed is an understatement! God is so so good, y'all!
