Oh my dear!
I have no clue what this is or why, but when they say "God works in mysterious way" I think me starting a blog is much more than mysterious. It is more like ridiculous, weird, crazy and lots of other pitiful adjectives. All of which I feel could describe me at this point in time :). Life right now is ridiculous. My situation literally changes right before me on a daily basis, but I praise God for the insanity. Life is weird as well, there are days I accomplish huge feats and still I feel like I am not quite there. Life is crazy, you can say that a thousand times over. Needless to say I am overwhelmed, but I think I started this because who isn't? I think we thrive at times knowing there is someone out there experiencing what we are. There is someone out there that on a day to day basis who is truly wondering what God wants from them and that creates an insane amount of instability (in the world), but an even better amount of stability in Christ.
I wish I could indulge on some details of the going ons of this crazy life. I feel like hearing the stories isn't always the thing people need. I think we just need to KNOW there is truly other people asking the same questions and getting answers that make you ask even more questions. I guess an intro might at least be in order.
I was born into a family that is crazy. I feel like 10 years ago I would tell you how normal my family was and how we did everything exactly how it was supposed to be done. After marriage and moving over 100 miles away, we are crazy. The epitome of crazy. There are days I think no family out there has anything on us type crazy. Either way there is LOVE and even through it all I know that. My family was started on a foundation. The foundation of Christ. I was baptized at age 11. I was raised in a church that was every bit of 500 members plus and you bet I know most all of them and miss many of them on a regular basis. Somewhere down the road, the typical ups and downs of teenage life I met the love of my life the week after my 16th birthday. I had no clue how much that would impact my life, and I would not change any of it. I would not trade the drama, the youth, the fights, the gossip of marrying your high school sweetheart for anything.
Skipping ahead because I am feeling like this is extremely long, my husband accepted a fire fighting position over 100 miles away from all we knew. Don't make fun, we were babies and this was HUGE. I hated this place with a burning, fiery passion and begged nearly every day to leave this God forsaken land. I promise it rained like the first 6 months we moved there. Horrible. Absolute torture. 4 years later....
I will never leave this place. If God wills, I am devoted to staying. I now have found a church family that I feel safe raising children with and that I truly believe will help me and my family get to Heaven. Main goal in all this right? So that's me, at least the most important things that I would like to include. I am a wife, a Christian, a registered nurse, a bible class teacher, a babysitter, a Zeal consultant, a puppy dog owner (2 babies Dottie and Layla), a blogger??? Who knows this may be it. For whatever reason I felt the urge to write something. Hopefully somebody may need to hear some things I have to say and I definitely search for others to confide in. Leave ya with this Ephesians 1:3-5... Just read it, dwell on it. It has been in my mind, on my heart, can't get it out of my head. Again the whole asking questions that just get answers that create more question. Hopefully my level of impatience if evident by now. Working on it. God is good.
