Back in May a job opportunity presented itself to me out of the blue. I was beyond excited that this fell into my lap and was going to do my best to show that I really was the girl for the job. With each passing day my plate grew fuller and fuller. I began to question is this really what I want? I was quite happy where I am. Now it was as if I was going 90 to nothing–was this how it would always be in this new role? Is the title worth it? Is the money worth this? I began to question is this what I really want. I began to pray for guidance.

All the time this is going on with me, my husband is battling his own work demons. He had been doing the same job for nearly 15 years and in the same career for 24 years. He was so ready to just let it all go. He would tell me how he just wanted work outside, get his hands dirty, not be stuck at desk or have his eyes glued to a computer screen. I had been praying over him and his job for a long while. Little did I know God was about to answer in a huge and unexpected way.

The job opportunity ended up not working out and all I felt was relief. When I went home and told my husband he felt so bad for me until I told him how relieved I was that it worked out the way it did. I told him that I think God was showing me that this is not what I really wanted or needed. I told him I was going to continue to pray for Him to guide us both.

A few nights later my husband I are were talking about the farm and started having us a little “dream session”. I can not for the life of me remember how the subject even came up, but I know we were dreaming about the possibility of putting a cabin on the farm that way when we go to visit our family we have our own little place to stay. We really love the peacefulness we get when we are on the farm. Its in the middle of no where and all you hear are the sounds of nature, you see a million stars at night and its full of God’s creations. Kevin put a picture of the farm up on the TV and showed me where he always wanted to build and it was the exact same spot that I always loved. Its a beautiful spot with great views and backs up to the woods and a great little spot I use to go hunting with one of my boys.

That night we went to bed thinking about building a cabin on the farm for when we visit…
