I am sitting in Bean and Leaf Cafe blogging today. We have moved into our new place and don't have the internet yet. I have been ansy to blog today so here I am.
Life has been so busy these past days as we have had such a mix of emotions and business. We have moved into our new home and I am feeling so free. Most of our stuff is in storage but I doubt that I will miss much of it. That word "stuff" has taken on new meaning for me. I don't like it anymore. Stuff implies more than I need. "Throw off anything the hinders and the sin that so easily entangles." Throw off not just sin but anything else that hinders. I think that much of my stuff has hindered me. This feeling of free - no mortgage, and the basic needs is more than I could have imagined. I love what God does and I love what I learn from my grown children. They teach me so much and that is such a blessing when parents and children can learn from each other. (yes, they shared this freedom with me) I thank the Lord for all the time that we had in our previous house. God used every space we had for the time that we had it. Now it's time to pursure the next leg of our journey and I am excited to see what is next.
Also in the midst of our move we said a tearful goodbye to Denise and Mike as they headed off for 11 months for mission work. They have arrived safely in Ireland! As a mom it is so wonderful to see your children pursuing the passion that God puts in their heart.
So everyone remember "Live the life worthy of the calling you have received." Eph. 4:1 If you say "I don't know my calling" - stop and ask God to reveal it to you. God has a plan for EVERYONE and his plan for you is sooooo much bigger than what our little minds can see. Trust me, I can say this from personal experience. Keep pursuing your relationship with Jesus, every day in all circumstances. He will show you!
I close this blog smiling!!!!!!!
