I like to run my life based on a schedule. I keep an organized calendar, I do laundry on Mondays, and cleaning on Thursdays. Halle naps at the same time each day, we eat lunch at noon, and dinner at 5:30. I run things on a pretty precise schedule. I'm not anal, however if these times fluctuate, I'm just a planner. A planner likes to think ahead, to be prepared for what is coming up next. Here's my dilemma. In approximately 4 1/2 months, we will be moving away from Kentucky. And where are we going, do you ask? Check out the map- we don't know! We could be anywhere!! This is a reality we were aware of when we moved here. And that date of June 1 seemed oh so far away. Now, it looks awfully close and we have no plan. So as a planner, how do I handle all of this uncertainty? Well to be honest, I'm doing a pretty job of not panicking- well not yet! My prayers have been the same since we got here and my little list will continue to be prayed each day for where God wants us to go next. Faith gets a little hard when reality gets in the way, doesn't it? My mind is thinking of all of the tiny details that will have to fall perfectly into place for us to move from here in 4 1/2 months. It seems nearly impossible. BUT, I know that all things are possible with GOD. So, in the meantime, I pray, I pray, and I pray some more. Please join with us in praying for clear direction for where God is calling us and the perfect place for Brian to lead in ministry.

Ah - - - the "step out into the dark void" faith test!!! Those times aren't fun - - - but they ARE stretching.
Let me guess - - - Brian isn't even worried about it at all, is he?
Do not be anxious about anything, but in prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.............and you know the rest, Shan! Sounds like you're on your way to peace in the unknowing. May it guide your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Mom
Keetha- not too much yet- he's usually the laid back one for sure! But he's trying to make the best decision!
First of all Hallie is precioius. Loved breezing through the past few blogs I missed earlier. You guys are on quite a journey right now, especially with your deadline moving in on you. It is AMAZING, though, the way these things have a way of playing out. God knows the plans He has for you. HE HASN'T FAILED YOU YET; HE WON'T FAIL YOU TODAY; AND HE WILL SURELY STAY TRUE TO HIS PROMISES TOMORROW!
SURRENDER - TRUST - OBEY. Three simple words, but each packed with a giant punch! Savor each word's meaning and see how they apply to you on a personal level. Then, look out, 'cause God is going to move in a marvelous way!
Can't wait to see where your journey takes you next. What a ride!!!!!
Stay in touch, dear, sweet girl - and don't forget how much you are loved and cherished by ME!!!!!

Honey never forget what God has done for us before, and I know he won't let us down now! I love you.
