Oh dear goodness...

Want to hear how it all worked out? It's a pretty crazy story. Let's start back at the beginning.

In February, I spent a week in some serious prayer asking for God to show me where I needed to student teach. Basically I had two choices: Move home to Rocky, student teach in Sentinel and work in a really small school but live with my parents for free; OR student teach in the OKC area, and...well, just hope I could find a place to live, but get my feet wet in schools in a larger area since that is where I was hoping to end up anyway. Ultimately, I really felt led to come to the city area and just find a way for it to work.

Application deadlines came, and went. I applied for OKC, and waited and waited and waited to hear back. In the waiting I began to get nervous. Where was I going to live? How was I going to pay my bills? What if the school I was hoping to student teach at rejected me? Had I made the wrong decision?

Finally toward the end of April, the school got back with me. I was assigned to student teach in 5th grade for six weeks, and 7th grade math for six weeks--perfect. Now on to all of the other questions.

Then, life happened. :)

One night, someone showed up at my parents' house and asked if they would be interested in selling their house. Of course. So they showed her the place, she loved it. After a week of prayer, they were ready to hear her offer and begin the search for a new place. The next Saturday we looked at houses--made an offer on our dream house on Sunday, and the seller had accepted by Monday! Now, just a short month later--we have moved into our new home.

It's amazing how once things started moving, how quickly it all came together. Over and over through this all we have been reassured that God's handiwork is responsible. It is so amazing to see how He moves in our lives when we wait for His timing. I cannot wait to see what else he has in store for our whole family with these new developments!!!
