I can’t go into too many details because we don’t know too many details yet. But I wanted to mention something so that if any of you happen to think of us, wouldn’t you please ask the Lord to give us direction?
The winds of change are blowing our way, but that’s about all we know right now. We don’t know why, or where they will lead us or even how they will lead us. We do believe that God is behind the winds over our lives and we feel He is behind this wind esp. I know I seem to be talking in riddles and I apologize for any confusion. It just that we feel things are going to (or are already beginning to change), but we just don’t what will change (or is changing).
Please ask God to continue to lead us and to make our path clear and recognizable to us. We have jointly laid down our wills’ and desires’ at His feet and have committed ourselves to do His will, no matter what or where that leads us. We are His servants and we want to be like Abram, who, when told to leave his home and go, simply said, “Yes Lord.”
To my dear husband, here is something for you that I found:
I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it.
Therefore I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
