The Prophet-Kahlil Gibran

Your hearts know in the silence the secrets of the days and nights. But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart's knowledge.

Just Keep Swimming!

So here I am, 26 married with a new baby and a very sweet puppy named Samson. Seems settled right? Well I thought so too, that is until we had a baby and I quit working.  Every couple who makes the choice for the mom to stay at home with the kids makes a huge sacrifice. The sacrifice of an extra income.  Right now we are learning to live with all our faith and trust in the lord to provide for us. When I was working it was so easy to forget that the lord is our provider. Why because I could measure our income to our bills and come out on top. The last five months I have not worked. With being put on bed rest and having our son my job was no longer an option for us. Talk about life moving in a crazy way. I have never not worked. Its so hard to surrender my control over finances. I am learning though that as I trust in the lord some how our bills are paid. Its amazing! So now for the endless adventure! We are trusting God for a house, two cars, all our bills to be paid on time and money to put into savings off of one income. Seems impossible..... Unless your a million air but for us normal folks it seems so out of reach but here is the thing, God loves Impossibilities! He loves to show that nothing is Impossible for him. So what is our part? Trusting him. He loves to give his children things. So where will our next home be? I have no Idea. What kind of cars will we have? No clue. Who will we meet? What will we be doing for Jesus? how many kids will we have? What Jobs will we have? Should we get another puppy for Samson to play with? Will we be in the states? What should I make for dinner? The possibility's are endless, exciting, scary, and some are yet to be discovered. While I used to be afraid of these possibilities I am now encouraged by them. Why? Because if you have Possibilities then you aren't dead. Your alive, living with a heart that beats in your chest. What you do with that life however long or short is up to you and how you handle your POSSIBILITIES.  I am determined friends that no matter what the hardships are to "Just keep swimming" as Dori the fish says. I will be stronger when I get to my destination particularly when I have to swim against the current. Thank you Jesus for the test and trials!
