Socks weren't really my reason for writing. Although it does make a good analogy. It sums up life and how it has felt the last few weeks, a pile of crazy, and a little disorganized. I have a thousand thoughts swirling around right now and just no time to write them. The answer we were waiting for so long finally came and with it brought a crazy amount of busy.
We are leaving in a few days for an amazing adventure. We have been preparing for this trip for the last few months. I can't believe it is finally here! Through all my doubts and fears we have seen God's hand at work which is so amazing...He is amazing! I am excited and scared, anxious and at times at peace. So many emotions happening at once within me. I am praying, always praying. I want to learn what God wants me to. I want to be obedient. I want my eyes to be open to see and my heart to be soft.
I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are doing what He wants us to right now. We got some news today that had we had before we would not have gone on this trip. I do believe that God doesn't tell us everything right away because often we would run away afraid (or at least I would) and not lean on Him. I would rob myself of His joy. I am so thankful that He loves me so much to tell me what I need to know when I need to know it.
I don't anticipate life slowing down when we return, but I am hoping that I can make time to share. There are always lessons to learn in what God asks us to do and I don't want to forget any of this crazy ride He has us on.
Until then...
