Suffer we must

This is kinda crazy. Jenny and I took this job in Austin knowing full well what we were leaving....but not knowing exactly what we are walking into.

God has been awfully gracious in selling our home to the second person who walked in....on the second day it was on the market. I guess He could have hung us out there a bit to test our faith or whatever, but we prayed specifically...i know i did....for this thing to sell, to affirm to Jenny and me that He was behind all this. Not saying that we were testing God, but he has answered the call on this, maybe because it has been such an exercise in faith for us....that He is like.....I got you....son. Dont know why i just choked up writing that....I guess its contagious (thanks Brandon)

THEN......the sage continues, we find this area (Buda) we like, with great schools (Hays County Schools) and seemingly to us, this builder wants to just about GIVE us a stinkin house (seriously...its crazy) I was looking for Ashton Kuchar to pop out and tell me,"I Punked YOU!". So we get a brand new house, bigger than the one we are leaving, in an area where there area going to be tons of kids and families, for way less money than the house we just sold. Jenny almost feels guilty for such a big house....i think she just nervous because she said, for the first 6 months or so....she was gonna be super mom/wife/housekeeper...and the housekeeping just became a daunting task.

SO there is the suffering .....larger house....great schools (we dont have to pay for, other than taxes....that are lower than Corpus) Community Center...with 3 pools, workout facilities, jogging path, playscape, large meeting room (can you say Community Group).

We had a great time in Austin this weekend. Seeing all the faces of the folks we are going to be serving with is awesome and an ancouragement to get back there next weekend.

Reading;
Habakkuk and I could hang out. In 1 he was a bit miffed that God hadnt brought His righteous anger/judgement down upon the wicked...and here in 2 God is telling him in vs 3....."wait for it".
I love 14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD,as the waters cover the sea. and then the very end of 2 vs 20 But the LORD is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him."
Be still and know that I am God.....Habakkuk (Tray.....wait on it)

Hebrews 1...the writer of Hebrews is just setting the table here. Talking about the superiority of Christ. Angels vs Jesus Christ.....Jesus is superior. You hearing me Jews?
