I was pretty naive when I started this blog. But the 2+ years that we have gone through have left me a little more jaded >_>.
It seems like the plans we made for our lives were not the plans God had for us.
Two years ago, I was supposed to go to nursing school, get my RN and make gobs and gobs of money to support my family.
And the Lord said...No.
I kicked, I screamed and that answer never changed.
Plan A just got tossed out the window. What now? Where is the peace? What do we do now?
Well we have spent the last two years trying to answer this question. God has provided for us time and time again since this fiasco started. He has always been faithful to us and, while he has taken us through some rough territory, deep valleys and some dark places. He has never left us. Our fears and doubts may have told us that He did, but He has never left our side.
Now we are back in another valley...
and we are still being led and held by Him. But it's different this time. The trial is harder than any we have faced up to this point. The path is darker and more convoluted than it has ever been. We are living with my in laws, have another baby due in a few months (like less than 3) and it still feels like we are wandering around in a daze. I have no job and any income I do see is quickly spent keeping our heads above water. The LORD provides, even when we feel like He forgets about us.
Now if I could just embed that in my mind...and keep that peace.
