my mind keeps going and it won't stop! so here goes my random thoughts.
I just keep thinking, where does God want me right now? what am I to be doing with my life? In so many different aspects.
I have been out of my women's Bible study since Micaiah came home, it was just too much, she wasn't ready for the childcare provided, but she was too old and noisy to sit quietly and not distract everyone while we studied. I plan to go back on Tuesday and am sooooo looking forward to it. To being around my friends, to learning and studying again with a great group of women, to be challenged and encouraged by them, and to lean on them when I need to, to know they are praying for me, I am ready to be back!
I used to teach 4/5 grade girls sunday school, lately over the past 4months I have been in the nursery to help Micaiah adjust, she's doing great so I don't need to be in there anymore. If I could choose, I would like to serve in the 3 year old class, but I don't want to be Elijah's teacher, simply because he benefits so much from having a different teacher. soooo, where do I go? I used to lead the women's Bible study I am in, but I am eager to be lead rather that lead at this point.
I think I want to be a part of something that get's women connected more, coffee on Sat. mornings, girls nights with my friends, mom's groups, but how would a mom's group be different than our Bible study full of mom's? something? we are in a couple's small group and I love that!!
my great friend Shelley sent me these verses, I love them! great timing shell!
be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
I'm asking God for one thing, only one thing: To live with him in his house my whole life long. I'll contemplate his beauty: I'll study at his feet. That's the only quiet secure place in a noisy world. The perfect getaway, far from the buzz of traffic. Psalm 27:4-5
How grateful I am to know my fathers are there now!!
and today my little flip calendar says,
And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" Romans 10:15
How am I to know I have been sent of God? First, by the realization that I am utterly weak and powerless and if I am to be of any use to God, God must do it all the time. Second, because I know I have to point men to Jesus Christ, not get them to think what a holy man I am.
WOW!!!!
and of course, Caleb going to kindergarten? Elijah going to preschool? I really want Caleb to get connected to some of his classmates he goes to school with.
on and on and on, gotta run.....

Dude, I can't wait to see how God uses you because you are an amazing woman!! I know He's got something awesome planned. My life wouldn't be the same without you in it!! You are such a blessing and encouragement to me. I love you!
God stretches us grows us during times of difficulty to prepare us for the next task(s) He has for us. You have been over a lot of rough roads lately with losing both your dad and Art and with all the difficult adjustments as your family has been in the process of expansion. As God makes clear (and He will do so) the new path to follow, you will be awed and will begin to see how it all fits together. Hang on...you are in for a wonderful ride!!!!
You are such a Godly person & I have learned so much from you.
Take one day at a time & ask God to show you & he will. I have really found this out in the last 8 months.
thanks for sharing your thoughts-always enjoy hearing! goad will lead you, he always has and always will! love you guys!
