Moving On

Hard to believe it’s only been eleven months since we moved into our tiny one bedroom apartment at Olivet…it feels like it’s been five years! Ok I’m exaggerating, but seriously, I feel like we’ve been here FOREVER and it hasn’t even been a year! Let’s just say it has been one very extra long year. I know what you’re thinking, and no it has nothing to do with our first year of marriage, not at all. In fact, if we hadn’t gotten married, I’m sure I would have lost my mind about nine months ago. Between basketball, school, basketball, basketball, and basketball I’d say it was enough to make anyone go crazy. I’ll spare you all the nasty details, but let’s just say I still have nightmares, literally. It was horrible. Ok Lexi, move on before you turn this into a hate post. By the way, I really am so thankful to have had the opportunity to go to school for free, meet a few really awesome friends, and have the “college experience” (can we say, overrated?) So really, I am grateful. Anyways.

Needless to say, we’re welcoming this new season in our lives, and the chance to get out of this rotten state and off to Colorado no less. Amazing (and still quite surreal honestly). I really can’t believe that we are packing up and moving our lives a thousand miles across the country. That’s a pretty big deal right? And if you know me, you know I am a pretty huge control freak; I like to have every detail figured out, every possibility accounted for. But this time, nothing is set in stone. We don’t have a really great plan. We don’t have jobs lined up. We’re not enrolled in schools. There are many more unknowns than known’s, but there is one really huge “known” that makes all of the unknowns seem pretty insignificant -- And that’s the undeniable truth that God’s hand has been SO evident throughout this entire journey, orchestrating it all from the very beginning. He has so clearly laid out this path for us that we are completely at peace with our decision and totally resting in His sovereignty, which as it turns out is a really wonderful place to be.

However, with every big decision it seems like there are always a thousand people to answer to, each with their own opinions on what is best for your life. And it’s hard, really, really hard to be content to walk by faith when you’re expected to have everything lined up with no room for error. But we are learning that the Lord just wants us to follow Him. It seems that God loves to put us in situations where we will be in big trouble if He doesn’t come through; because those are the times when He gets to give us a taste of His power and sovereignty, ultimately bringing glory to Himself.

We have been nothing but blessed when we choose to walk by faith, so we will continue on with confidence; because we serve a God who loves us and leads us by the hand, walking beside us with every step.


Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him diligently
