He's More than A Story 2 Me!

Well, I am sitting down for the first time today with my cup of Cherry Streusel coffee which is amazing! The girls and I did school work this morning and then headed out to Taco Bell and the grocery store. Sounds like fun huh? Well, it was a great day. The boys got home from school and both had good days at school and jumped right into homework which is a praise and change from previous years. We prayed all summer long for Landon and Kaleb's teachers. I know it is going to be a fantastic year. Landon brought home a necklace for me and Kaleb is continually asking if he can be home schooled. It can be so crazy around here but truth be known I miss them when they are gone during the day. We will see what the Lord has planned.

Today I have been pondering-kind of restless you might say. I woke up at 5:00 and from that moment I started to pass in and out of fear and worry. which is funny because it is more fear of the unknown of the road ahead and what might be on the road you know what I mean? Anyways, I had errands to run and I was sitting in the car sending my daughters back into the house for the second time because they forgot shoes or something. I sat there alone in my thoughts when at that moment the guy on the radio (I know cliche but it happened) said I know some of you are struggling right now and are in a trial but you need to trust in Him and know that He has great and amazing plans to do through you in His time. I was like okay Lord. You speak to me int he craziest of ways because you know I am crazy! But I sat there in my seat and thanked Him for his calm assurance that He is with me and loves me. You see at this time we are going through a change in ministry and position. All this is a good thing and definitely know it is a God thing. But I don't know about you but my personality is the type that I like to know what is around the corner. Sometimes He just ask us to hold His hand and trust Him. I will say that my Heavenly Father has never -no never failed me. He speaks loudly to this heart of mine and I could not imagine a day without Him. The verse that keeps coming to my mind is Philippians 4:7 "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Like my wise friend Judy said today because she is in transition said to me (unaware of my struggle today) I know that if I just trust God and wait on Him I don't even have to think or worry about what He going to because it will just happen in His time and His way!!
