reflection

most of you know that 2007 has proven to be a year of interesting twists and turns for my little family. just when it seems like things are back in the flow and heading on the right path, God does something we never expected. this weekend proved to be yet another such time..

as i was reflecting today, somewhat downhearted, a bible verse popped into my mind...for all you cedarville grads, those bible verses elenor taylor taught us do come back when you least expect it.

anyways...they seem quite qualified to sum up 2007 in our world....

proverbs 16:9 In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.

proverbs 20:24 A man's steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understand his own way???

i have to say that there are still some things i just don't understand. and even though we seek God whole heartedly we still don't always hear His voice so He answers a little more dramatically....needless to say, God is still so good and i love Him dearly, but I sure would like a little break from the twists and turns. God is definitely one of humor and adventure. i pray my spirits remain high as i focus on Him and see where He leads now...apparently we never know:)

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
