Two Things I said I would Never Do!

I am right in the middle of two things I said I would never do, and even more astonishing…I am enjoying them!! 🙂

What are they? I used to say I could never live in Florida and that I could never homeschool. If you haven’t already heard, Tim has accepted a position in Indialantic, FL, and we will be moving in the next 6 weeks! And due to this move I realized homeschooling Mikaela, who has just started kindergarten, was the best way to make a smooth transition.

It is incredible! Despite my own previously held beliefs, I am so excited by all the Lord is doing and this incredible, albeit exhausting at times, season He has us in. At every turn He is confirming His plans for us. From selling our home in 3 days to Mikaela choosing on her own to wake up at 6 a.m. every morning to get in an hour of school before we get Holden up.

I am as surprised as anyone by the events unfolding in our lives, but boy is it fun to watch Him work!

Have you ever experienced this? It is amazing how the Lord can change your heart about some thing! But we shouldn’t be surprised. This is exactly what the Bible says will happen. His promises are so true. And here’s the really fun part…the more you know His Word the more you recognize it when He is fulfilling it in you! If you delight yourself in Him He really will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4) He will cause you to desire the things He has planned for you. So take a deep breath! The pressure is off! It is not your job to figure out what His will is for your life. It is your job to love the Lord with all your heart and trust that He will gently and flawlessly lead you in His best for you. You don’t have to have all the answers…you just have to have faith!

Stay tuned for more updates! I’ll try to keep the blog up to date with the most recent events and antics! 🙂
