We are in the process of building something great! I can’t fully articulate what that something is, but I can feel it! We can only see little pieces of the puzzle, but sometimes that is how God works. He only gives me “small bites” at a time. I will have to wait to get the bigger picture.
It was our dream to build a family together. We are doing it! It was our dream to work hard with our hands and to build a business. We (David) are doing it! My husband works so hard to provide for our family so that we can also fulfill a dream of me being able to stay at home with the kids. We are doing it! We also dreamed of being able to travel and go places as a family. Today we are doing it, together!
All we can say is “THANK YOU LORD!” Partnering with God will cost you something. It sometimes means laying down your own “good ideas.” Without God in your plans, they may just be good ideas. God saw our plans and dreams in mind when we got married 11 years ago. He wasn’t worried about changing our plans. They have looked a lot different than we ever could have planned. We trusted Him. We prayed A LOT. We made lots of sacrifices. We continued to follow His voice and obeyed what He told us to do, sometimes when it didn’t even seem logical. Example: we surrendered moving to a city where we knew we would have 1. a job already in place, 2. friends who moved there, 3. a church family and 4. nostalgia for the area (it wouldn’t be a “fresh move”, BUT God said “no.” So we didn’t. Because He told us to go somewhere else. And we followed.
And THAT decision friends, has been THE BEST decision for us! We have seen God bless that decision and give us favor upon favor for trusting Him. Thank you Lord!
What is God calling you to do today? For tomorrow? Can you trust Him? Absolutely, do it!
Praying for you that as you see how He begins to move in your life and confirm over and over again with what He is saying to you and your family, this year in 2021, that you would boldly follow wherever and however He leads you!
“Now may God, the fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with his super-abundance until you radiate with hope!”
Romans 15:13 TPT
