My God is a God of details...


Okay, I have been on one emotional roller coaster lately... up and down and all around...

I am okay with moving... I am not okay with moving..
I am going... to I am NOT going....(stomping my feet)

I really am a little nuts about it all....

So, you know how God loves every detail of our life... well, here is some more proof..AGAIN! Why, is this so amazing to me????

Cut to the story... So, my friend went to a conference in Southern California to see Sally Clarkson. She is in a room with about 150 other women from all over the country. She "happens" to sit down next to this lady and with the help of her sister she starts a conversation with her. During the course of her conversation she finds out that this lady lives in the same area that I will be moving to. They exchange names and emails and my sweet friend tells her that I will be in contact. The nice lady says she will be happy to share any information she can with me. I later email her a couple of times and she emails me back. Such a sweet, nice lady that is so willing to help me. That is the body of Christ in action. Anyway, I get some information and think I will eventually meet up with her somewhere.

So Sunday morning, after church, I start having a pity party with myself and anyone who will listen... I check my email and that sweet lady emailed me again. She informs me that she was telling her husband about our email conversations and he looks at her and tells her "that is my new boss' wife that you have been talking to!" What???? Do you know how many people live in the area that I am moving to??? Crazy huh??? Really crazy!!!! God has my back! He is in every detail of my life!

I am not sure why I find this story so amazing...I mean He is Alive! He heals... and He saves. I know how much God cares about me... and all my silly worries! He is telling me to "shhhh, my sweet girl...I am going to take care of everything... Don't worry...I am going with you"

"Cast your cares on the LORD
and he will sustain you;
he will never let the righteous fall."

Psalm 55:22 NIV

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"

Matthew 6:25-27 NIV

Another weekend out of town with my husband on his business trip....
Pictures from the weekend.....

Okay, I am going to say it... I have been skirting around the issue for about 2 months now, but I will come on out and say it...
WE ARE MOVING OUT OF STATE!!!!

For me, that is SCARY!!!! I am very involved in our church (at times too involved) Only those that really are too involved in their church know what I mean...but none the less, I am involved. I have so many great friends and my kids do too... BUT for some reason God is moving us. For many years, we dreamed about moving but now that it is happening I am SCARED!!! It is way out of my comfort zone.....

And as we all know that God has a sense of humor... He is moving me back to the same area I moved from when I was 13 years old...

I remember kicking and screaming when I left (not literally). I did not have a relationship with the Lord but I did send up some prayers.. like "how could you do this, God" and "to the desert, really?" So, I wonder if He is answering them now... like okay, girlie you can go back 30 years later!!!

No, I know my Jesus... and He has great plans for me and my family no matter where I live...
So, there you have it.

WE ARE MOVING!!! By summer 2011

Kim
