Happy 200th Blog Post!!

I signed into my blog today to discover that if I blog one more time I'll hit 200!! Wowzers! I can't believe it.  It's kind of interesting to look back over the years to see what God has done and what He's been teaching me in the process.  I'm definitely grateful for His patience and grace with me on this journey and I'm grateful for His provision and protection along the way!

Our 200th blog post comes with GREAT news!! Today, Mark & I signed a year lease on a home in New Orleans!! HALLELUJAH!! We had a window of 14 days (today being the 14th day) to monitor craig's lists, zillow, padmapper, & local rental agencies, to set up appointments at various places, to drive around different neighborhoods, to become aware of people who scam potential renters by claiming to be out of the area and unable to show them the property but if you send them $$ they'll send you the keys (how sad!), and to pray pray pray for God to show us where He wanted us to live.

I PRAISE GOD that He has helped us find a place to live and for your prayers that helped us on our search! I can't believe that in 45 days I get to marry Mr Mark Manning and we'll get to start our lives together under the same roof after our honeymoon! My reading today was in Psalm 136 which repeats over and over again that "His love endures forever!" Yes Thank you Lord that your love endures forever and ever! 

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
His love endures forever.

to him who alone does great wonders,
His love endures forever.

with a mighty hand and outstretched arm;
His love endures forever.

and freed us from our enemies.
His love endures forever. 

Psalm 136: 1,4,12,24
