A house, a house!

I know, I know this is the second post in the last 24 hours, but sometimes information comes rapidly with the Army and other times are quite dead. Tyler and I found out today that we have been given a house on post at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. All we know is that it is fairly old, has three bedrooms, and is not carpeted. We are thrilled to have a house on post to transition into Army family life a little more smoothly and to be in a house, not an apartment ... YAY for no stairs on move-in day! 

God has been so good during these last six weeks and especially in giving us a house. Below you will find one of our favorite scriptures. I was instantly reminded of this scripture today when we got the news of a house! 

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

"And why do you worry about your clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. they do not labor or spin. yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry,  saying, 'What shall we eat?' or ''What shall we drink?' or What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.  

 -- Matthew 6:25-34
