So we are in our new apartment and we thought Hondo was big before now! He is a super, biggie-size German Shephard in our new home. We have surrendered our 10 acres, our log home for what we believe God wants to show us next. I am now surrendering my "mothering" as I get of the way of what God is doing with us, with me and with our oldest son.
This surrender thing just never ends! Oh yeah - it's that never ending Road Trip again....
So when do I get a break from all this Let Go?
Actually, that would be too boring and certainly not living the dangerous adventure of following Jesus. I really do not want to go back to my former life. And through it all, I do sense Him near me; encouraging me through friends' hugs and prayers, through affirmation from parents that have "been there", through extra pizza at Saturday service, through a good nights' sleep, through a relaxing evening watching a crazy game show with my family and through His word:
Times like these - the desparate times when common sense is not so common after all because what we thought what was the norm is now out of context and ABnormal.
So I RELY and DEPEND on God's promises and His faithfulness....Otherwise, you would likely find me in one of two places:
ONE: In a closet, in a heap with no hope or
TWO: Running the roads and trying to control everything and everyone while making life miserable for anyone (including YOU) within a 5 mile radius of me.
Knock, Knock
Who's there?
Orange.
Orange who?
Orange you glad I'm trusting God? :)
