What Will Be, Will Be

Howdy strangers. It’s been a while. Remember me? Well…remember my last post? If you don’t, go check it out. I had to re-read it before posting this blog and all I can say is “wow.” I was right on so far. Honestly, I haven’t thought much about what I wrote since I wrote it…but I guess what will be will be. I say this because everything I spoke about in my last post, has been so incredibly on-point with my life as of right now, 19 days later. That’s when you truly know that you hear from God.

That being said…was the easier part.

This part is a bit harder.

I’ve been blogging for a long time. I’ve actually developed some following. It amazes me. Thanks so much for reading what I have to say!

But the truth is, I don’t have much to say right now. God is doing such a quiet, humbling work in my life and I’m currently on a journey that isn’t meant for the public eye. He’s doing things in my heart that can’t be put into words. He’s opening my eyes to things that are meant for me alone to see. He’s opening doors that are marked with a sign “for members only” and the membership price is extremely high and the applications accepted are few.

So what am I trying to say? I’m saying that it’s official. As of right now, this blog is closed. Alive for people to read old posts but for the near future, no new posts will be written and published.

It’s been a fun and amazing journey but it’s just not what I’m supposed to be doing right now with my time. I’m sad and excited but I know that with God – what will be, will be. And things may change..but for now, my online blogging life door has been closed and I’m smiling at the other doors that are opening because of it.

Thanks for all of the love and support and comments and reading! You can still keep up with me on facebook and twitter and gmail and in person and all those other ways if you’re interested. And if not, that’s okay too. I’m believing that God has a plan much bigger than I could ever know.

With love,

God-Sized Dreams

proverb31girl — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 15:00:14 +0000

(In)courage asked an interesting question on their blog. They asked: What are your God-sized dreams for 2010?

It’s one thing to dream…but it’s another thing to have a dream that’s GOD-sized! But with all of the changes in life (see post on changes) this question isn’t very hard for me to answer. My God-sized dreams for 2010 are as follows (not in any order):

That my family and friends come to know Jesus the way we were all created to know him
A healthy, happy baby (to come in July 2010)
A great new job for my husband that he really enjoys doing
The perfect size/location house for me and my growing family to live in
Enough means to be comfortable as a 1 income family so that I can fulfill my calling as a mother the best I can
For Chris’ music and upcoming projects to sore to levels beyond man’s capabilities

Now normally this would be quite a hefty list of dreams. But hey – God is big and I truly believe He can do ALL things.

What are your God-sized dreams for 2010?

The Week In Between

proverb31girl — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 19:54:52 +0000

Well here it is…the week in between Christmas and New Years. As a kid it was always an exciting week because school was closed and the chances of playing in the snow for hours increased. But I must say, as a working adult, this week isn’t fun anymore. It’s a short week at work but it’s also a week where most people take vacation time if their office is open. So for those of us working, it’s boring and slow. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t want more work to do and I love my boss being away…but I’d rather be playing in the snow.

So since I physically cannot go outside, I decided that I would mentally take a trip to the places I cannot go. This week I’ll day-dream about snowboarding down the mountains in Switzerland (because in my dream I can snowboard) and get lost walking around the streets of London. I’ll take a road trip to Seattle and take a cruise around Alaska.

But seriously…

The week in between Christmas and New Years is my last chance to do something meaningful in 2009. I don’t know about you, but 2009 has been a crazy year for me. A lot is in the process of changing and although it’s exciting, it’s also caused me to spend many hours thinking selfishly about myself and my own concerns. So this week I get to salvage my thoughts of 2009 and turn my thoughts to others.

In my downtime I can pray for people, whether they ask for it or not. I can take a few extra minutes to talk to people and hear about their holiday memories. This week I’ll focus on not focusing on myself. And with just a little effort, 2010 will start the same way that 2009 ended. There will be no need for a new years resolution. I don’t have to wait. In 2009 I can make the choice to change. I don’t have to wait for the shiny ball to drop.

What will YOU do this week?

Warning Dream

proverb31girl — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 15:35:46 +0000

So last night I had a dream that I got in my car knowing that it needed gas soon. I started driving and completely forgot about it. Once I remembered, I looked down and saw that the needle was on empty. EMPTY?!?! I thought. I never got a warning. No yellow dot. No dinging noise. Nothing. And now I have to search for a gas station. And hope I can make it there. Too late, I panicked.

I think this dream meant something.
