Will B. Changing
With all the big changes going on in my life right now my fiancée and I have chosen a 30-day bible study on the topic. I have been learning a lot of interesting things that have been helping with some changes that will happen at the end of the year. The biggest one is getting married to my fiancée.
It has been a big constant back and forth with just where our new family will live after the marriage. I have prayed over this situation a few different times and I believe that the answer is up to my fiancée, the reason is simple, she has 3 children, soon to be our children but the quandary is, do we uproot the children from their lives and move them three hours south to Texas or do I uproot myself and move three hours to the north, Oklahoma, Gasp, yes, I never saw myself living in a landlocked state and Oklahoma at that; a state I was never too fond of, to be honest. The only thing I like about Oklahoma is the fact that my fiancée and children live there. I bleed burnt orange and dearly love Texas and never thought I would leave the Great Republic of Texas.
My fiancée would love to move here, out in the country in one of the nicest little towns you will ever find, but uprooting children can be a problem for their possible growth, comfort and peace of mind. So that is the situation we have been facing and why I leave the decision in the hands of my fiancée. It’s just the right thing to do. It will be a bitter disappointment to leave a job that I don’t even consider a job that I love so much and that has been a lifelong dream, to have a job where I can use my photography skills and be a part of such a wonderful community, sharing the story of Olney.
I have found comfort where I always find comfort in times of turmoil, that is in the Bible and in prayer to God. I have been trusting God with all my problems and joys since I was about 22 or 23 and he has never failed to take care of my needs, not one single time has he left me to face my troubles alone. It may not always be what I want but God always answers my prayers with what I need, and sometimes those two things end up being the same. Things are in God’s hands right now and that’s just where I like them. Luke 12:24: “Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds!” This is Will B. saying, trust God with your problems and he will solve them.
