Hey Hey!!✌🏾👋🏾
I know, I know. It's been A WHILE.
Life has been LIFING over here. But I woke feeling the need to write so here it is.
It's August 31!!! For a significant amount of our time in Charlotte the last day in August was a day of celebration and relief for the Caldwell/Sperling household. You see, as a state employee Ville was paid once a month. And as a teacher that meant August-May. So, June and July were pretty dry. Needless to say we were and are thankful that regardless of what we faced all those summers God made a way for us. He's faithful. And we're grateful.
So, I woke up thinking about those struggle years today. Remembering the sacrifices made by my husband in his efforts to provide for his family. The odd jobs. The "keeping it together" so the kids wouldn't know just how bad it was. Those months of literally living paycheck to paycheck. It ain't for the weak.
So as I'm scrolling through my FB memories I see a post that let's me know that God has and will continue to be our provider. That He knows best. That He makes everything work together. And that He loves my family.
(Post from August 31, 2010...is bout to go lay it down....FULL day today. Thanking God for being my provider. Over the last 3 months we have had everything we NEEDED......and even some things we WANTED! He is such an awesome God and I thank Him for being faithful ALL the time.....even when I didn't have faith enough to belief!! Lord...help my unbelief. You are ALWAYS on TIME.
So I guess this is an appreciation post. To show and say thank you. And also to not be ashamed of where we come from. That time in our life coulda broken us. Instead it strengthen us and brought us closer. I'll never be ashamed of where we started. Which is why I won't downplay where He has brought us to now. Living abroad has been one of His greatest blessings!!!
So yeah. That's it. That's the blog post people. Remember where you were 13 years ago and be grateful for the journey thus far.
Until next time.
Have a great day. Know that I love ya. Mean it.
