A Gift Of Answered Prayers

I have spent the past couple days in almost constant pondering and prayer. If you read my previous post, you know that we were considering and planning a move to Idaho. In brief, here is how things panned out.

Philip called. He knew that he was to quit work and we were to move to Idaho.

I wrote lists, researched, planned and prayed all day. We could either quit or move but not both.

I talked to Philip and said I needed him to work the oil rig for two more months and then I could make Idaho possible. He said he would pray about it. At that point, I knew for certain that we needed to move soon and not quit soon. And Philip knew that we needed to quit and that we would move eventually.

I prayed. I very specifically asked for certain feelings to know for sure which aspects of the plan were right and which were not.

Philip prayed to see if he should work longer for me.

We got our answers. Exactly the way we asked for them.

Philip can work the oil rig up to two more months, for my sake, but he does need out of that environment.
We will be going to Idaho, but it does not have to be right away. The year or so time line is back on the table.
We NEED to go to the temple. There are more answers that await us at the temple.

So, for now. We are facing changes and looking forward to receiving a clearer perspective at the temple. We will work towards finding a different job here and preparing the house to sell.

I have enjoyed this opportunity to work together with my husband and Heavenly Father to deeply seek out answers and His plan for our lives at this time.

I am so grateful for my relationship with my Heavenly Father and the comfort that comes from knowing that He does, indeed, have a plan for my life.
