It is strange how one day you are a little kid and the next thing you know.. you have blinked and you are "all grown up." I still feel like I am catching up with where I am in life. I remember planning our wedding and at times it felt like time had stopped, but then out of nowhere I was walking down the aisle to meet Greg and spend the rest of my life with him.
Greg and I are currently experiencing these same feelings. We are transitioning.. we are in limbo. There are some things that I enjoy about this part of life. My relationship with God has gotten much stronger since entering this place. I know that Greg and I both have truly had to let go of our plans and cling to what God has in store for us. Many days things look uncertain and when we try to fix it ourselves.. it never works out. When we give it to God we know that He will do what He wants to do with us. What he has called us to may not always be easy, it may not always be fun, and it definately is not always convienent, but it is always the right thing. I can go to bed at night knowing that I can trust God and what he has in store for our lives.
This summer we have been working at Westview Boys' Home in Hollis, OK. This is one really great example of how God ALWAYS knows what is going on. Greg and I had really struggled with what we were going to do this summer. It was something that just seemed to weigh us down. We were clueless. Then out of the blue, Westview calls us and asks us to come work for them this summer. This was the greatest blessing of my adult life. I have grown to know and love many wonderful people out here. I am in a place where I can have a group of women who have been where I am. They can understand my hurt and my worries and they can laugh with me about all the joys we find. I have seen what a Godly wife, mother, and friend looks like through all of these wonderful ladies. I have also grown to know many wonderful men and boys. You see... Greg and I had a plan to stay in Abilene and work at bookstores, but God had a plan for us to come here, to grow, to learn, to love, to laugh, to cry, and to connect. We praise God for his wonderful plan! Even though times are uncertain and we are in limbo, we are going to give it to God. We are scared to leave this place in August. We are unsure of what we will face, but we know that God will provide what he wants in our lives. We just have to be patient and listen....
Blessings!
