We're Staying In RI

Posted by laura.elizabeth at 9:00 AM
It has been a long, painful wait but the verdict is finally in- we are staying in RI. And while it is not what we planned, we are really excited about it. It is amazing to me how the Lord works on my heart. When the thought to stay in RI first crossed my mind- I fought it tooth and nail. Not becasue I don't like it here- I do! I love it here. But becasue it was not what I had planned for my family. I had grand dreams of something different and the thought of giving up that dream literally caused me pain. The more I thought about it however, the more I realized that while my plan was good, God's plan was better. I feel like my heart has made a complete revolution in the matter of just a few weeks. I can see the Lords hand in it and I have faith that He will bless us along the way!

So... we are staying and we are thrilled about it. Robert will still be gone for a significant amount of the next two years and we will be insanely far from family the whole time BUT I feel really peaceful about it. I really feel that it is the right thing for us.

    Isn't it great to know that you are doing what Heavenly Father wants? I am so happy that you guys know where you will be for the next little while. Enjoy RI and all of the beauty if offers.
