Ironic how last year this time we were looking at the house I'm now living in. Ironic how 1 year later we are looking at a new house.
Ironic that we have such a desire to stay in Ozark.
3 years ago my parents told me we were moving to Arkansas. As my dad sat on my bed, both of us crying, he said "Jo I'll try and find another place. We won't go to Arkansas."
"No. Whatever God says. Go." I don't know what made me say it. In my right mind I would've gladly agreed with a new place NOT 1000 miles from home. Maybe it was the fear of what I'd seen happen to people who didn't obey God. Maybe it wasn't me talking, but God somehow speaking through me. Whatever it was, here we are, 1000 miles from where I was born, making plans and praying about a new house in OZARK.
All I know is that God knew what he was talking about when he told us Arkansas.
The suffering won't last forever. It won't be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ-eternal and glorious plans they are-will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, He does. - 1 Peter 5:10&11
You are an amazing and very talented young lady. I came across your blog today, and began reading. You have a way with words. You are devoted to do what's right to the best of your power and stand up in What you believe in. If you speak people will listen. Keep up the good work. I really enjoyed reading some of your blogs. Sorry I know this this is kind of creepy me just commenting when you don't even know me, But I just wanted to let you know you are doing a great job. Btw... I'm Jacey, Eric Shaffer's older cousin. I found you on his Facebook page.
