My Heart's Desire

I have seen birth and I have witnessed death. The presence of God is real and palpable in both. We gasp when that defining breath is taken and our hearts experience arrhythmia as we reflect in the twinkling of an eye, on the fragility of life. Each life is created for purpose. The purpose of love. Love is the answer every time. God is the Source; let me be His vessel.

Who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 2 Corinthians 1:4

He Chose Me

June 11th, 2013

How wonderful it is to be able to say He Did Choose Me:

I'm in my new apartment 200 miles from home and in another state. My best friend aka husband is back home working diligently until his new job begins down in Raleigh. Oh how I miss him so very much. My children are snuggled in bed and I'm sitting here staring at the walls and how bare they are right now. It's been driving me crazy but Ive pledged to myself that I will not decorate until everything is unpacked. So Im unpacking with urgency. That and I know the faster I work the sooner my children will become more at ease with the decisions we've made to move so far away. (I am so blessed with the children I have been given, their willing and flexible spirits amaze me. They've not uttered one negative word about leaving.) However, I can tell you Ive mapped in my mind where each picture, fixture, and art work will go. ;) Thats called multitasking, Friends. The blank walls are a bit symbolic; don't you think? We too are clean slates; we've been stripped down to the bare essentials. A four thousand square foot home to a thousand. It feels good, liberating, and exciting... My whole life was mapped out before me in VA. How boring and depressing. I love my family, my friends and our church back home but I know theres more God wants me to accomplish and experience. I can feel it burning in my soul waiting for someone to hit the release valve. I do wish I could get some of our closest family members to be a little more supportive but like Jesus, true understanding can not be achieved in your hometown.  Read here: http://home.earthlink.net/~ronrhodes/qjesusmiracles.html

My heart is alive here. Where we go and what we do is solely Gods prerogative now. We have given Jesus the wheel.

I know I'm just starting this book and I'm opening it with high expectations and aspirations but with God all things are possible. I may stumble but I will not fall.

We're running to you Jesus!

We are in the process of moving from VA to NC to further our education for our ministry. We sold pretty much everything we could in our 3700 sq ft home and moved to a 1000 sq ft apartment. I'm excited to see what the next chapter holds for us!! We will keep you posted!
