It's been quite a while since I've had to deal with Steve's absence. Looking back I believe it was shortly before I got sick. Isn't it odd how God just sends the right things your way when you need them the most.
God took care of me. He gave me Steve. He has not had to travel from November of last year til today. Most of that time was spent watching over me and working locally from home until the beginning of June when he was laid off.
God took care of us. He gave me Steve. A man who struggles at times with his faith like we all do. It's hard to put all your cares at His feet and not feel compelled to pick them back up again and try to do something to keep life going. However, this time it was Steve's lesson in faith God was testing.
Once Steve truly let go, and let God, the job came. We are praying and standing in faith that this is the path God has selected for us for now. We prayed before accepting this position and asked if it wasn't meant to be, to please slam the door shut, yet it remained open.
And today he travels. He's headed for North Carolina for a one day trip and will return on Thursday. He will be deeply missed because this year, I've gotten to know my husband in a more intimate way. I am seeing God in him and through the things he does and says at times. I love how God does that.
We get glimpses into the very nature and character of God through everyone we meet and everything that requires our care.
Steve is one of the most caring people you'll ever come to know. He truly does have a heart after God's. I knew it the first time I saw him. God gives second chances. God has blessed me with more riches than this world could ever know and it will be an honor to serve him to the best of my ability because that's what love is about. Not a feeling, its a doing.
While people around us struggle in their marriages and relationships, we grasp ours that much tighter. We know the enemy is seeking to destroy us but we stand united with God and know that our trinity with Him is greater than anything in this world.
Hurry home love, you'll be missed beyond words could ever share and I wait anxiously with God for your safe return. Tap the plane and know that prayers go with you. I love you! ~ Kat
