Change is inevetible. Merriam Webster defines change (in the noun sense) as an alteration, transformation, or substitution. I cannot count on all of my appendages the number of changes that happen in a single day at our house.
But, last week Scott and I were presented with one of, if not THE, biggest change we may be facing in the very near future. As much as I would love to spill details with you all, I just can't yet. But, trust me, I will as soon as the time is right.
In the process of life, we are faced with so much uncertainty and that is very unappealing for a control freak such as myself. But, some things are just not in our control. We can, however, choose to hand our control over to The One who is. And, that's just what we've decided to do. Our ultimate goal in this life is to live according to God's will and not ours. And, so, we've chosen to hope, believe, and trust in that. Our prayer is that whatever happens, wherever we are, and in whatever we do - God will be right there with us. We come to you all asking for prayer for wisdom and discernment for Scott and I, doors to open where they need be, and shut where they need be. We'll be right there on our knees with you!
I was given this song this morning and I just can't help but let it wrap itself around my weary heart:
I will praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
(In case you're wondering....that's Casting Crown's "Praise You in This Storm".)
Thanks so much for being there for us! Thanks for being interested in our lives and thanks for loving us so much! We appreciate it beyond words!

We are definitely there for you whatever you need. Whatever the decision we will definitely support you. You are in our prayers and know you will make the right decision for your family!
I love you. I love your family. I know this is a difficult decision, but like I told you. If you really, honestly, give it to God..... then you have to accept the challenges he puts before you. We all know that he has your best interest in mind. How exciting to just be in the middle of a new plan that God has put before you. I will continually pray for you and Scott and the kids. I love you all and know that you will be led to where you are supposed to be. I'm so very proud of you that you have stopped, and prayed, and listened.
"Be still and know that I am God."
I trust God every second for my life, so you know that I trust him even more for my precious daughter, my awesome son-in-law, and my precious grandchildren. I love you and am excited beyond words to see where this journey starts.
Let us pray....................
Love, Mom
Well the best thing we can do and the best place to be is on our knees..... We are there with you and will continue to be.
I love you bunches and miss you alot these days.....
