When Leo and I got married over 11 years ago and moved to Carson, CA to the Don Dominguez Apartments, I always thought it was going to be temporary. I got a job teaching, while Leo finished school and I always said, "As soon as you finish we are moving back [to San Diego], right?". We ended up buying a house and getting settled in Long Beach. Leo got his Masters and got a job. We had Sophia and I quit. The dream to move back to my hometown of Chula Vista was slowly slipping away. We found a new church, Epicenter. We loved it. We had Dalia. The market was looking great to sell, but we didn't because Leo had a job here. So, we made our house bigger. The dream was fading, but still in the back of my mind. Yet, I was very happy here with my growing family. We had Mia. Then Lincoln. Then, Leo lost his job. We knew God had great plans for us but just weren't sure what they were. After much prayer God has answered and has given Leo and amazing job and opened up the doors for us to move back to San Diego! Although we are sad to leave many dear friends, our church, some of our favorite hang outs and our cozy little home that we have lived in for over 10 years we are very excited about our future!
It is amazing to see God's beautiful plan for our lives continue to unfold. There are moments I still can't believe that this is actually happening and I am just in awe of God's perfect power and timing. I know that if I trust in God, I don't have to worry about anything and that He always knows what we need and what is best for us. I know that in the midst of his unemployment and search for work it was very hard for Leo to see the hand of God in all of this. But I know that now his faith has grown and that he can truly see and feel the hand of God moving in our lives. I thank Him for loving us enough to help us grow in Him and taking us through this in order to see His power. Sometimes we get complacent and self sufficient and forget that God alone is our provider. HE is our only source of life and strength. Trials are good reminders that we can do nothing without Him. Thank you God for showing us your power and for making us depend completely on you! It is such a joy to live in Christ and to know that no matter what life brings my way, I can depend on Him. It can't any better than that. "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 34:7
