Peace Be the Journey!

So I really love my family. I am so blessed by them. Yesterday and today we were privaleged to spend with Nicole and that adorable grandson Zechariah. He is growing up so much and laughing and has teeth. He loves our steps and climbling up and down them. God is so great how he made people. Those little ones are so precious.

I was privaleged to attend the meeting at the high school today for the mission trip to Costa Rica. Normally after school the teacher is there but she was not there so they asked me to come. The students pretty much practice skits and songs that they will do while there. I was so happy to open up in prayer with everyone and remind them all that this trip is not about them but about bringing glory to God. I can't wait to see what God will do in the lives of all of us going and in the lives of the people that we will meet there. I keep thinking that God will help me to learn Spanish while we are there. Hey, if God can part the Red Sea and create the World - then I believe he can help me with some Spanish. Since "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever" then what God has done in the past does not stop.

I feel like life is beginning to take a turn for me. I still don't know God's plan for what he wants me to do in this next chapter in my life but I am feeling way more at peace with his timing of things. With daughter Emily now married and moved far away my life must go on. It will certainly look different than it ever has before but it is now time to embrase what new adventures God has for me. First one - heading to Costa Rica.

Every day God is teaching us something about life. Do we even recognize it? So much in life just seems to slip by, but when we pay attention to even the little things we find God's work in our life. I love how our heavenly Father embraces us and loves us with such care and concern. He doesn't even let the little things go by without his attention. So what does your life look like? Are you wondering what God has in store for you? Most of us do at some point and we often struggle with that issue too. Yet when we come to a point of complete surrender and trusting him with it, life is so much more freeing.

Watch this little video of our grandson. He is taking a risk here and discovering something new. He does not have any fear of getting hurt but is attempting a new task, also trusting someone to help or just do it without fear. That is our life with Jesus. Don't be scared to do something new - take the risk and what you find on the other side will be so much fun.
