Gee Whiz

So, if ever the saying that God can work through anything holds true, it has to be now for Adam and I. Over the weekend Adam went camping with a buddy from Auburn. They met in the smoky mountains and hiked 12 miles over two days. He was able to tell him about all the things God has been doing in our lives and how we are seeking Him for the "next move". I stayed at home and worked on tons of schoolwork but really had a hard time without adam there at night. I will admit that I am a pansy but nothing makes me feel safer than having Adam with me. That night I didn't get much sleep and was in a horrible mood by the time he got home. Plus, he didnt have service the whole weekend and with bad weather coming thier way I made myself sick with worry ( a talent i have). So needless to say when he got home we had words and were not in the best of moods when we arrived at church the next morning. However, God had a sermon planned just for us. Reggie preached on the miracles that happened through Christ's ressurection...which is a whole other blog. Through the entire message Reggie was giving historical secular evidence of Christs ressurection and the unexplained physical events that happened. Also in Sunday school, our leader told us how he has learned that God reveals things that he is seeking through his wife. He said that women are just a little better at being intuitive (i whole heartedly agree) and that sometimes he will pray "God, if you dont reveal to me what you want, please reveal it to my wife". I mean we are a couple for a reason, right? So anyways, back to the sermon....at the end of the sermon I was really overwhelmed by A-the message and awesome ways that God somehow makes every little bit of his word cohesive and B-the need i felt to tell adam that i really did think God was calling him to do biblical archaeology. So flipping back through my 3 huge pages of notes I found a blank spot and wrote " I think you should do biblical archeaology and passed it to Adam. He immediately started crying (i hope its ok that i am telling people this honey) and started praying. He told me that God had really been working on him while hiking and that I had just confirmed alot of things that he had been asking God to answer. So, now Adam is in the process of applying and getting information to go to grad school and get his PhD in biblical archeaology..i mean what better way to spend your life than showing a secular world secular proof of a loving God that came to earth to pay a debt for people who didn't accept him. I am sooo excited for Adam, we have been praying that God would reveal the next step to him for a while. This is my own opinon but I think that in order to know that you want to spend your life proclaming Jesus as Lord you have to be walking with him-and Adam has really been growing by leaps and bounds in his relationship. I also think that God had to do a little convincing on my part so that I would 100% supportive of Adam since this will require some sacrifice. The sacrifice is that now I am "busting" it to get done with grad school a semester early. I am pretty sure I can pull it off but it means 3 more semesters (summer, fall and spring ) of 15 hours of class and full time work. This also means that we will be moving in one year and therefore have decided to call off our house hunt, which in turn means renting for another year, which is not the most desirable choice. The sacrificies though are so small when compared to the rich life that I believe God has planned for us if we keep following Him. I ask for prayer for Adam and for God to give us the finances for yet another 3 years of grad school. I know that God will continue to watch over us (we haven't gone hungry yet!!..and neither have our cats!!!). Thank you God for working through a weekend that wasn't so newlywedish and turning it into a weekend of promise and fulfillment in life with you.
