The FIRST!!!

Yeah!!! So you know how sometimes you wonder if your doing the right thing or making the right decision and then something comes a long and confirms that yep, you are right where God wants you and your doing what God wants you to do. Do you ever get excited about 1st? A child's first step, first words, your first A in school on a big test, a first kiss, first car... etc. They are all exciting and you never forget them. It doesn't mean what follows isn't equally amazing... I mean a first step is awesome, but then how awesome is it to see a daughter walk down the isle. Your first A is great, awesome is an A for the course, or the BA you receive. How about first words, which turn into vocalizing a relationship with Christ. First are amazing and you don't forget, today I had a first...my first support check came in!!! It's confirmation of how AWESOME and wonderful God is and how great it is to get my first support and how terrific that piece is to my trip! Gods plans are not our own! Isn't that the best?!? Hope you have amazing firsts today!

SO excited for you. Don't you just love when God confirms your plans so quickly with an obvious sign that you're going in the right direction. You'll be buying your plane tickets in no time! We'll keep praying!
