I am DEFINITELY feeling the butterflies

I haven't slept well the past few weeks. Can you tell? It's after 11pm and I'm posting a blog! I want to be sleeping right now! But I can't seem to get a blog out of my mind, and I think I'm realizing why:

Someone I have recently started looking up to posted a blog about feeling the butterflies. Basically, he realized he kinda became "bored", in a sense, with his walk. He realized that God was leading him somewhere for His purpose. An uncomfortable zone that God often puts us to stretch us and use us for what He wants.

With everything that has happened since October (read past blogs if you are not familiar) I realized just how comfortable I was with life. Everyday I had a routine with my girls while my hubby brought in the dough. I have come to put my trust in God and not be so stressed with how bills will get paid and where we will get food. And now, I'm comfortable with that. Ugh...can't I just get a little comfortable, please?

I was okay with the recent decision to move, until this past week. I could not figure out why I was not sleeping, why I am sick, why I feel so miserable all day!!! And finally, when I opened up my ears long enough, He told me: "I need you to trust me with this move. It's for MY kingdom, not for you to be comfortable. I want you to stretch yourself and learn more".

I heard it so many times that this is the perfect time to move, and start fresh. It's all pulling together and I have a stomach FULL of butterflies!!! I'd like to think they will go away soon, but I know He'll have another plan for us.

Wedding Bells

I am starting to hear more and more accounts of marriages falling apart because of the economy. Spouses are getting extremely angry at their spouse because they got laid off, something way beyond their control. Through this difficult time, I am so thankful.

When I think back to how Keith and I were 6 months into our marriage and where we are now, I am truly blessed. If we would not have gotten the counseling and found Jesus, there is no way that we would have made it; especially through a time like this.

This "economic" situation, as the world calls it (I prefer Satan's attack), has brought Keith and I so much closer together. It has been teaching us to trust in each other more than ever before, console in each other more, even be more open and honest about anything and everything than we have ever done.

I don't mean to boast. But when I see what is happening to other marriages, it breaks my heart. Such awesome couples are becoming victims and fearful instead of looking to each other, and most of all....GOD! He is the only one that is going to help us get through this time. God, please help us speak to these people so their marriages can be saved in YOUR NAME!
