I was going through my old blog posts and realized that it has been one year since Keith lost his job and our crazy journey began. This past year has been the hardest of my life.
After Keith lost his job, we went through a lot of highs and lows, but for the most part it felt like mostly lows. Regardless, we kept our eyes on God. We continued to tithe, and found ways to serve in the church.
In July, Satan attacked us and hit us real hard. Somehow Keith and I both allowed him enough room into our individual lives, that by July 31, Keith and I separated. And by separated, I mean we were living in separate homes and looking into visitation times for our girls.
Even though the separation was not fun, we now feel it was greatly needed. Keith dove much deeper into his relationship with God, and it got him super motivated to get a job, which God provided! Two weeks after leaving, I returned back to the house, and three weeks after that, on September 6, we renewed our wedding vows.
God has really showed us how He uses each situation for good. My marriage, with continued work, is better than it ever has been. Keith's job is helping to propel us into our next phase of preparing for the planting of Intersection Church. We have learned just how important it really is to tithe, no matter what, and trust that He is in control and will take care of you.
