I GET TO... follow Christ on this journey.

He's still at it. 

God. 

Blowing me away and just knocking me around with a 2x4. For the last 72+ hours it's been one hit after another. All good and worth it but a hit none the less. As usual I have sat to try and articulate the words to explain all that is going on and the words don't exist. Maybe I just need a new blog approach for a while. Heehee... Although since going through the book of Nehemiah maybe it is a good thing the words won't come because I can't give hint to all God is working on right now. Then again that would imply I have a hint of the bigger picture and I don't.

So I praise him. 

I thank him. 

I take each day as they come and know unswervingly that God is in control and no matter what takes place we will be more than fine.

We are still praying about the direction of our homeschooling curriculum for next year and what our next steps are to be as a family. The sun and SON are shining and I am grateful for the journey we are on. Even though I can't fully explain it.

It's a crazy wild ride when you aren't holding the steering wheel anticipating every turn or swirve. There are a ton of Scriptures God has be praying over right now. I can't wait to be able to share all God is stretching and growing me with. I'm thankful that in the stretching it is to take bad things out and to put good things back in.

Just in awe of the stretching and grateful God will never stretch me to my breaking point! WE GET TO say yes to the journey not we have to. Such freedom in that!!! And it's so not about the destination for us but the journey!!! How freeing is that as well!

Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. 
1 Peter 4:12 -13

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. 
Colossians 4:2

So that is where I have been. Please don't think I have been ignoring you but not responding to the comments just yet. It's been a quick publish from my cell phone with a grateful prayerful heart for your sweet comments. It's also been my heart has been so rooted in seeking what God has been laying on my heart that the words to fill this post space have escaped me in this process. Please know you all are being covered in prayer as well and are sorely missed.
