I can say it, but can I do it?

Okay, so I’ll crawl out of my closet for awhile, just to let you know that I’m still here. It’s so interesting to me that there are so many things through out the day that happens or are said, and I say to myself, “Hey! I should write about that.” But when I sit down to write, I can’t remember what I was going to write about! I’d say I’m old, but at 28, I think I’d insult some of you, knowing that you’re older than me. So I won’t say that.

Do you remember those winds I was talking about before? Well, I forgot to mention the fog, too. The fog was pretty thick. At least for me it was. I knew something was out there, but I couldn’t see it for the life of me! Thankfully, I think there is a break in the clouds now. We are starting to see something that we hadn’t seen before. An idea has come to us and we think perhaps the Lord is taking us elsewhere. It’s just the beginning of course and I’m already having to put the brakes on my scheming. I have always desired land and space and a place for my children to play without fear of them getting hit by a car. I’ve desired a place for a garden. A good size garden (now before any of you laugh, I’ll clarify that I like the idea of a big garden. We’ll see about the practicality of it.) Adam and I would like to own some animals like chickens, maybe pigs, a cow (I’ve always wanted a Jersey cow! They’re so cute!), maybe a horse…. It’s possible that this idea could lead us to fulfilling these dreams. But rest assured, dear near ones, this idea, this “elsewhere” does not have Adam finding a new job.

This is where I need to be careful. This is where I start to scheme and dream of how I can make this work into what I want. Did you notice the “I” part of that statement? I truly am a selfish person. I want to give up my desires and dreams for God’s desires and plans for us. But if I really did give it up to Him, would I spend a good part of the morning looking for things that go along with my scheming and dreaming? Probably not. That’s not to say that God will just plop things down in our laps. He certainly could do that, for He can do anything He wants to do. He is God after all. But I don’t think He usually does. And since we don’t even know if this is where God will be leading us, I don’t think it will do much good for me to be searching for things. It has given me an idea of what’s out there and for how much, but even that’s not very profitable at this point.

Man I give good advice! Now if I could only follow it….
