Following the Lord isn’t always a
clear cut or easy thing to do, that’s why I suppose they say you have to have
faith! The words of my beloved Pastor
and friend continue to ring in my ears, that familiar and loved passage in
Jeremiah 29 which reads:
“For I know the plans I have for
you,” declares the Lord, “ plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to
give you hope and a future. Then you
will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me
with all your heart. I will be found by
you, “ declares the Lord, “ and will bring you back from captivity.”
My journey to following Him and His
calling on my life continues. I was in
one of those “sweet spots” just a few days ago…not perfect or ideal even, but
in a place where I knew I was doing what He asked of me, and I was enjoying
that so much. I’m in that wondering
place again…wondering what is next, what assignment I am on, what will take up
my time and my energy.
I’ve followed my husband to a
remote city in Kansas with our two children (5 and 3), we are starting this leg
of our journey in a hotel room, while we look for a rental property to get us
through until our house in Minnesota sells.
I joked with my friends back home that I’d start a blog and call it “crockpot
hotel” since I loaded up our crockpot to
try and eat some healthier meals while we are living in the hotel. Here’s the catalog of our journey. My purpose of writing is to connect with
friends (both old and new), share our adventure, and point anyone willing to
read to the One that I cannot live a moment without, my Heavenly Father.
