Waiting

UUUUGGGHHHHH waiting is NOT the funnest thing I've ever done. We have a contract on our house and the buyer has 10 days to back out of the deal. I KNOW I KNOW,  this is God's deal in the first place and we need to just trust Him. Crazy thing is that is the exact advise I'd have given you if the tables were turned. It's sooooooo much easier said than done. My goofy flesh sure does get in the way! We close on 10/10!! Part of me is ready to go today the other part is screaming NOT yet. I think God likes us to wait to teach us to trust Him more!!! So as it stands we are "waiting on the Lord to renew our strength".  This is a short entry but I'm outta words. ;~)

SOLD!!!!!!

Who knew that four letters could evoke sooooooo many emotions at one time????? I have soo much to do. What should I do first? How long will it take me to...............
 I guess I should start from a different part of the story. We have had our house on the market 2 weeks yesterday and today it is SOLD.  Our God is sooooooo good to us!!!!!! I'm soooo excited about the adventure God is about to take us on. In the same breath I'm sooooo sad to be leaving the people we have grown to love, the church that is our home, and this life we've known for the past 17 years. How can one body can feel ALLLLLLL these emotions at the same exact time!! There is this crazy undercurrent feeling that God is about to rock our world!! He is sending us to a dry and weary land. We've been praying for a long long time that God would use us as salt and light and that we'd bring Life everywhere we go!!! Now we get to do those things there!! Anyone that knows Michael and I know we are PASSIONATE people. I mean look at all my capital letters and expressive punctuation. That is just a drop in the bucket! Maybe West Texas needs some more passion and that's why we are going. heehee All I know is God is sending us to live on blessed land, and Michael is working for a blessed man and a crazy blessed company!!! We are ready to work!!!! Lord here we are send us!!!!!!!! But wait Lord I feel comfy here and there's people that I love here, like my youngest child!!!!! Yeah and in this 2 week period my oldest child will turn 21, my baby moves into his own apartment and we are moving!!! What the world?????? Well thank goodness I have this blog and I can drag ya'll along this adventure with us. Right now I am soooo excited to start a WHOLE new chapter with my husband, best friend and love of my life of 22 years, and our Lord!!!! So "Saddle up your horses. We have a trail to blaze. Through the yonder of God's Amazing  grace. Let's follow our leader into the Glorious unknown
This is the life like no other whoa whoa, This is The Great Adventure"!!!!!!!!
Here we are Lord, send us.................

Lessons From a Red Convertible

It's amazing to me how EVERY SINGLE thing the Lord does is on purpose. No I am not an idiot but I am a sheep. Well that's what the Lord calls me anyway. :) I was driving to the gym and the Lord and I had this conversation.........
"Ang, do you know why I gave you this convertible RED Slug Bug?"
"Hmmm, no Lord I don't. I haven't even thought about it. Sorry bout that and BTW THANK YOU for the car again!!!!"
" When the top is down don't you feel it?'
"Lord YES I feel the air, I feel the sun, I feel the bugs heehee, I feel the FREEDOM!!! I feel like there's no limits for me, no "ceiling" stopping me. It's sooooo crazy the joy and peace I feel EVERY SINGLE time!!!"
"That is on purpose Ang!! That is how I created you to feel all the time!!You have better vision and more clarity all the way around you and the car. There is nothing blocking your vision. You don't have to work so hard to see obstacles and dangers. You aren't always going to feel HAPPY but you should feel joy and seek peace!!! My Word tells you to do that!!! But what if it gets too hot, rains, too cold, snows????"
"Yes Sir I am completely exposed!!! That does scare me."
"You shouldn't be scared but you should be AWARE. Yes you are exposed and vulnerable to all elements but even in that just like spiritually I have you COVERED!!! Literally and spiritually. When you see the elements coming at you, all you have to do is push the button the top closes and you are totally covered!! Spiritually you are to do the same thing DAILY!! "Put on your full armor so that you can withstand the enemy". See Ang I am on purpose!!!! I gave you a PHYSICAL reminder of what you should be doing daily. AND I have you covered at all times you just have to choose to push the button!!"

I LOVE that the Lord is sooooo loud in His still small voice. He is soooo creative! Thanks Lord for my reminder that YOU have got me covered!! (Psalm 91) I love You BIG!!
I'm going to take a lil season to fast and pray. I won't be on Facebook or any other social media except to post Blogs if the Lord so leads me to!! Thanks for letting me share with you the GREATNESS of God!!!
