Well…
It has been a while!
I have been b.u.s.y.!!!
Remember a few months ago when I wrote about time?!?!???
(and being too busy)
Turns out, God had me study and prepare that lesson for
myself!
(Gotta love it when HE does something like that!)
So yes, I have been very, very busy.
And God has been very busy in my life too.
As many of you know, I went back to school in January. I am working to finish my undergraduate
degree through Liberty University online. AND…I LOVE it!!! Don’t get me wrong. Going back to college after a 20+ year break
is hard. Really, really hard. But I am
enjoying the challenge. I have wanted to
finish my degree for such a long time. Realistically
it seemed impossible and I never even researched the possibility. It was just a dream and I thought it would
never be anything more. But while
sitting at a Women of Faith event last November, I felt God leading me to visit
the Liberty University booth. I walked
to that booth with no plan, but I knew God was leading me. By January, the financial aid was in place
and I began classes. So here I am…working
towards a degree in Psychology for Christian Counseling. And it’s definitely a God-thing!!!
Another major change for our family…
Last winter, shortly after starting classes, Chip and I felt
God leading us to another unexpected change.
Several times, we had talked about and dreamed about me being able to
work for the Matthew Bellamy Project full time.
Like going back to school, it seemed like a distant dream. But during our prayer time, we began to feel
God leading us to do just that. So we
continued to pray, and pray, and pray some more about it. By the time spring rolled around, we were
certain it was the next step for our family.
So, at the end of August, I left my job (that I love) and began to work
for the Matthew Project (which I also love!) full time. Another God-thing!!!
We are truly walking by faith right now!
I am asking for your prayers (again!). Chip and I are trying so hard to follow where
God leads and the devil continues to challenge us. But my God is bigger than any obstacle or
scheme the evil one can fathom. I trust
in HIM.
I also turned forty last week.
My thirty-something years were rough, so I’m
looking forward to a new decade in my life.
Thank you for continuing to love and care for my family.
So many of you have become the literal hands and feet of God to us and we love you!!!
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
~Philippians 3:14
