Not a good blogger... yet

Well, it is official. I am about as good at keeping up with a blog as I am about writing in diaries! :)

First off, I hate triteness and I do not say meaningful things unless I fully intend them. But trust me when I say that God is faithful AND good!

When I started the studio, it was with the intention (and financial necessity) of working a part time job while I built the studio. God has had other ideas. During the month of August, my employer let me know that as of October 1st I would no longer have a place with them. Needless to say it was a scary thought. I applied at several places but that's not what God wanted. Right now God has chosen to provide in other ways which has included bringing several more students my way (with the total rising to 11 lesson-ees after only 3 months and 9 days) as well as potentially opening the door to substitute teach in the local public schools.

It has been overwhelming to see God provide for my little family both personally and professionally. Austin and I were recently reading a excerpt by John Piper which was based out of Matthew 6:34 which reads:
The manna in the wilderness was given one day at a time. There was no storing up. That is the way we must depend on God's mercy. You do not receive today the strength to bear tomorrow's burdens. You are given mercies today for today's troubles. Tomorrow the mercies will be new. "God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord" (1 Corinthians 1:9 RSV). "Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will act!" (1 Thessalonians 5:24, author's translation). "

Lamentations 3:22-23, It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed , because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
