Reminded of God's Faithfulness

Spring is in full swing here in the States! The flowers have begun to bloom and the sunshine is starting to share more warmth. Along with the flowers and sunny days come raindrops falling on the roof and muddy puddles too. While I am excited to greet another season, it is strange not to have a day on the calendar in April marked with “Pieter returns to America”. For the past three years I have spent the months of spring and summer going on dates and spending time with him. Spring brings reminders that he is not here, but it also comes with a renewed mindset that my reunion with my husband is a little closer.

Work continues to take up my time. I am grateful for the guests that come in each day and the individuals I work with each day. Working hard makes the time pass and makes me feel needed. Just the other night I asked God to give Pieter this sense of purpose, to provide him with a job. I awoke the next morning to find a facebook message from Pieter, informing me that he was at a job interview. I was overwhelmed by God’s timing. 

Every night before going to sleep I pray that God would quicken this process, help nothing to go wrong with all the paperwork, strengthen our marriage as we are apart, and keep my husband safe and healthy. I trust that He will provide all we need in this shaky time, in His perfect time.
