Scripture & a Snapshot - Week 61

You may have noticed...I used this verse last week, too.
But it is so incredibly appropriate for where my family is right now that nothing else felt right.

For over a year now my husband has been applying for promotions at work and has been passed over and rejected for more positions than I care to recall. And it's not because he's incompetent...in fact, it's just the opposite as he's one of the top reps in the country for his company. Yet at every opportunity the doors would slam shut.
{It was never very gentle.}

And I questioned God and His plan.
Our conversations went something like this over the last year:
"God, um...we're right here. Did you forget about us?"
"God, why not that one?!"
"God!!! I can not take it anymore! Just show us your plan already!!!!"
{yes, I shouted at God. thankfully He is very forgiving and patient...which is more than I can say for myself.}

"Ok. I give. You know what is best and we will follow where you lead us. But please let it be somewhere good and also if you could give us hints, that would be great."

And finally He opened a door.
...one that is taking us to Houston, Texas...

So y'all down around Houston better give me a shout!
 ;)

...in hindsight, I think He may have given us hints...
When we joined our small group a few months ago the very first question we were asked was:
"Do you have any plans to apply for a job out of state?"
Which we thought was odd, but it turns out that the last two couples who left the group moved to Texas.
And their homes sold quickly...please pray that we can follow their lead "two-for-two"!

Want to join in this challenge?

Here's how to participate:

1. Select a scripture.

My hope is that each week you will search your Bible and select a verse that has meaning for you.

Here's a link to a good Bible verse search engine.

2. Add a photo to it.

I hope that you will chose a photo that goes with your chosen scripture, and not just throw these two elements together. The photo can be from your archives or a new shot. Please only use your own photos. You can have the scripture on your photo, below it, make a collage - however you want, as long as the two elements are together!

3. Put the Scripture & a Snapshot button in your post.

You won't be deleted or banned if you don't. It just helps spread the word...and the Word. ;) 

It also helps visitors from the blog hop quickly identify your Scripture & a Snapshot post.

4. Come back here and link up your post. 

Please link directly to your Scripture & A Snapshot post, not the home page of your blog.
