WOW.
All I can say is wow.
I could dive into this blog and go one hundred different directions all at once but that might confuse you. Plus my head is already spinning.
So I will try to contain my self.
I'm sure you didn't notice that I failed to blog even once in January.
I sat down numerous times to say something, anything, but...
zip. zero. nada.
I was so in a weird place.
It was a brand new year and everything was wonderful and I needed to be excited when I took out my lovely, fresh calendar full of blank boxes just begging to be filled with marvelous & exciting adventures.
I needed to be filled with motivation and gratitude and clarity and a sense of purpose that would rock this house in 2010 but....
not so much.
I was t.O.'ed too. Because gross...I hate feeling that way.
I'm pretty positive I've never looked older, uglier, yuckier
AND I know I've never felt more blah.
So.
It's going along like this and it's getting closer to the end of the month...time to draw a big fat X over January and flip to February and I am going "really?...just like that the first month of a beautiful new year comes and goes and REALLY??...it's gonna be like this???"
Then. Out of the wild blue...my husband informed me that God informed him that it was time. We were going to start a new life. (NOT a human life!!)
This is the point of the story that could get a little hard to follow because it really makes no sense YET makes all the sense in the world at the very same time.
It's ludicrous and wonderful. It's exciting and terrifying.
I don't want to bore you to tears but I do so want to share my weird news!
Let me break it down.
We have never been more secure financially. (Thank YOU Jesus!!) Never been more grounded, stable, connected to one another.
We seemingly have everything that matters.
Health, our home, lots of love.
But strangely...
we are missing the mark.
What is "the mark" exactly?
Darned if I know but we are absolutely, without a doubt, convinced we are definitely missing it.
We have known this for quite some time.
There have been innumerable signs that God was holding some sneaky plans behind His back. These signs have been totally obvious.
However, we had NO IDEA what to actually do or when to do it so we have just been hanging out...waiting on God to say "go".
We still have no idea what we are doing or how to get it done.
God is still holding the "plans" somewhere out of my personal field of vision.
But the exciting thing is, He has shown us that we are ready for the first big step!!!!!!
It is time. Time for action...whatever that looks like.
This is what God has specifically revealed to us in the past week:
1. There is a ministry/church home for us in Austin, Texas.
2. We are to move to Austin as soon as our house sells.
3. Our house is to be put on the market ASAP. (If you know anyone in the market for a super cool house in Corpus Christi.....)
That's it. That is what we know for sure right now.
God has been so good to us.
We owe him everything that we have and everything that we are.
He had a massive amount of work to do in our hearts and lives to prepare us to be even remotely useful to Him.
It floors me that He would even care to bother.
Yet, He more than cares.
Like I said at the beginning of this post....
wow.
Jeremiah 15:19
"....if you repent, I will restore you
that you may serve me."
