I year ago today my husband and I sat in our new church in Bemidji. A few months earlier I had quit my job to stay home with the kids and two weeks later he lost his. We didn't know which direction we were going, but strangely enough David had received a phone call 3 days before being released from his position from a job head hunter for Bemidji. Looking back the Sunday after David had lost his job I sat in mass and the scripture had been about knocking the dust off your feet when you left the town that you were in. That gave me the strength encourage to know that this was God's will for us to leave our beloved Hibbing home & friends. He took a new position in Bemidji, we found a new house that suited our needs, Elizabeth got excepted into the school when we were told that there were no openings, and we closed on our old house two weeks later after closing on our new home. God was opening doors and yet I still worried. I worried we were making the wrong decisions for our children, for our family, & for our careers.
Friday night on 7/10 friends and family helped us load up the U-Haul. 7/11/15 we unloaded everything into our new house. It was bittersweet. 7/12 we attended our first mass in our new church. The quoted verse from scripture that Sumday was "knock the dust off your feet of the town that you were leaving". It took all that I had to compose myself and not break down in church. I don't consider myself anything special. I know that I am a child of God, and that in itself is something special, but it is an overwhelming feeling when God singles you out into something beautiful in your life.
It's an amazing feeling when you can see God's will blossom right before your eyes.
