Here we go!

We're on our way. We have stepped out in faith for what we KNOW is right for us right now. It's definitely not an easy step. Even though it was hard, Paul and I are completely at peace with our decision, and that is what tells me it was the right thing to do. This morning a coworker/friend of mine shared a great devotion with me. It was the story of Jesus walking on water, and Peter taking that step out of the boat. I had always thought that Peter failed to walk on water because he did not trust Jesus enough, but Steve opened my eyes to the fact that Peter did not trust himself enough. It makes so much sense to me, but I never thought of it that way. Steve's last comment to us was, if you step out in faith and don't succeed in the world's eyes, it doesn't mean you have failed. Thanks Steve, I needed that devotion this morning. It's important for us to know that sometimes stepping out in faith is succeeding in itself!

Timing

So, you know how when you're cooking, the longest part of making pasta is waiting for the water to boil? It's funny how that happens with life, too. You wait so long for the first thing to happen, then once you take that first step it feels like you have to start running to keep up. Does that make sense? I know it's all about timing. It's all about knowing when to take that first step. Once you take that step, as scary as it is, you're committed to whatever comes next! So here we are, we have taken that step, and are trusting God to know when to start running.

Pushed or Pulled?

Paul and I are in this place right now where we feel like we are being pushed out the doors of the church we have attended and served in for 3 years. Just today it hit me that it is completely possible that we are not being pushed at all. It is quite probable that God is pulling us somewhere else. I feel like, whether pushed or pulled, we are starting down a path that God has set before us. I can only pray that the path is not too long!! I guess at this point I am thankful that I get to go through this journey and trial with such a wonderful man by my side. I couldn't ask for a better partner!

Number One!

My first blog post!! Lately, I have found myself so wrapped up in so many things, that I finally decided it was time to get some of it out. My husband, Paul and I are trying so hard to listen to God speak to us that sometimes we wonder if we are just hearing what we want to. So this blog will be my release.
