only 3 months ago i was on staff as women's ministry director and then God said turn...and i became an outspoken advocate for orphan and trafficking awareness!
only three weeks ago, i was mom to 3, step mom to 1 and to be mom to 4... and then God said turn... and i became a mom to a 12 year old boy i had never laid eyes on, but had been praying for since 2007!
WOW, what a difference a day can make!!
as i look back over this past year, nothing looks the same EXCEPT the faithfulness of God!!
i'd be lying if i said the turns in the road have been easy, or that they always felt good, made sense or ushered in the warm fuzzies, or if i said i have smiled through them all! truth be told i have cried, kicked and fussed all the while clinging tighter than ever before to the Lord.
i wouldn't trade today for yesterday and certainly not last year... because each choice of obedience at the turn in the road has pushed me yet another step closer to my creator, and it is GLORIOUS!! He is so faithful!
as we prepare for our time in Brazil, i anticipate many bumps, curves and turns along the journey... but i know it will all be worth it... and i thank you for being our prayer partners through it... i am eternally grateful!
:) Still praying!
