He's sovereign

Matthew and I have officially moved into my parents lake house until we can find a place to live and jobs. 
It has been a tough transition. And it doesn't help that Matthew's probation officers still haven't gotten him transferred here to Moneta. We have never been apart and now we have barely seen each other in the last 3 weeks. 
Malachi seems to be adjusting but it took some time. Elianna is teething. So she hasn't been sleeping so well. I feel like I'm doing it alone. My mom is here and she's helped me a lot. But it isn't easy. And I miss Matthew more then I ever knew I could. 
We did join a new church and it seems like it's going to be a great fit. I'm so excited to be able to get involved. 
Although Matthew and I have no idea where God is going to take us I have been reminded by someone very close to my heart that God is sovereign. And His plans and callings never change. I really needed to be reminded of that truth. Especially since Matthew and I have been struggling in our marriage. He reminded me that we made a vow before the Heavenly Father and that if God wasn't for our marriage then He would not have blessed us with two beautiful children. The scripture says that children are a blessing. And one who has many should be called blessed. In the midst of the stress and the loneliness I remind myself that God is for me and He is for my marriage and He is for my children. The enemy will do whatever he can to step in and try to tear us apart. But he won't win because our God has already won. 
I'm so excited to see what God has planned.
