Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us…
Ephesians 3:20
Today I hold on to this verse. It is one that I memorized years ago at camp and has always stuck with me. I think because it was set to a song. I was reminded of it today as I ran. I was in an Austin neighborhood where family lives and thinking how different it is than home. I don’t see kids running up and down the street, I don’t see playmates for my children, and I don’t see friends for me. I began to worry that I will not find the things that I think are important for my family. But if i really read and truly believe this verse, it doesn’t matter what I imagine I want or even what I ask for. He his able to provide even more than I could even think to ask. How awesome is that?
In a short hour, I will hit the streets of Round Rock with a realtor searching for a possible home to rent. And it doesn’t matter what I think I want going into this, because He is able to do more.
Julie….I am Kedra’s “aunt” sort of. I am Jody Reese’s sister. We live about 40 minutes from Austin in a small town. SO many people commute to Austin to work. Now, that the tollway is finished commuting is not bad. I don’t know how you feel about commuting. The community is safe…lots of old homes but some beautiful new ones too. Our church ( Smithville Church of Christ, is small and I’ll admit struggling some. We NEED you! We need your energy, example and family! There are some sweet young families that are working hard in our congregation. I’d be glad to have you guys visit us and scope out the area here. Bastrop is a bustling community too and about 20 minutes closer to Austin. Give Kedra a call and she’ll set you up with my numbers. God’s blessing to you on your move! Lynn
