WHAT!!

Well here we go again, another road trip.
Headed back to the hills, this time it may be for good, or at least a little while.
Too many people to call, don't really know our path.
Pray that we are doing the right thing, don't be sad, we havent burned any bridges, so we can always return.
But right now we have an oppurtunity to better our lives and Adams, so we must go.
We will be back in a few weeks and will know what we are going to do for sure then.
So unless I find another computer We wont be on for a while.
God is with us, (I havent been able to say that before.)
You will all be missed, Keep us in your prayers, not for our return, but for the decision that we have made.
See ya in November.
Jay, Christina, Adam.

Trust

We are finally back home!!
It was a very long week, Tiring, Emotional, Hectic, Exhausting......
Most everyone knows Christina's Dad passed away and we have been in West Virginia.
Everything went very well considering.... We( Christina and I) also learned a very valuable thing while we were gone.
Trust!!
Not the kind of trust that you put in each other, nor the trust you put in people, those kinds of trust are not bad, but they arent the kind to rely on all of the time, for it will fail you.
This week I found trust in God. What!! Trust in God?
OHHH YAAA!!!
Let me explain...
You know our car 94 -192,000 Mercury Cougar gets us where we need to go.
Well we couldn't get a rental(bad timing) we were in a hurry and didn't want to back track.
We had been offered the use of a vehicle....But the pride thing got me..kinda.
So we finally decided that we were going to go in our car and it was up to God to get us there.
It was that simple..gotta go...God its on you..
What are you crazy, that thing aint gonna make it!
Well I don't know if I totally realized or accepted that God took control, until we stopped for the night, and on the window of our motel room there were a set of wings, not in the window, or painted on, but more of a dusting I guess you could say.
It could have been a mark from a bird flying into the window, but how many dusty birds have you ever seen?
Well it could have been many things but for us it was a sign that "I gotcha, its gonna be o.k"
Thank you all for your help and prayers, We couldnt ask for a better Family.
See ya in the morning...God is Good!

Mountains And Valleys II

Last night in our mens group we talked about Mountains and Valleys.
We all kinda have our own, but something was cleared up in my mind,
the Valleys that we go into dont have to be our times of (what I would called suffering).
The Valley should be our place for serving.
So If we look at it like this our Mountain is where God shows us a Small glimps of Greatness,
And then sort of like Moses coming down from the mountain, now go into the Valley and Teach!
So in one way you can say Mountains and Valleys are really not about Greatness and Suffering, but more about Learning and Teaching or Serving!

Words of Wisdom

It's kinda funny( I think) when you have a decision to make that you go looking for others Opinions.
Well thats what I did, thanks for all of your comments.
What I didn't realize is that Either way, Good decision or Bad, God was going to be there regardless.
So why get worked up over really nothing?
A Pastor friend reminded me that sometimes it's not about what God wants you to do , It's about what you want to do, and remember that God is still going to take care of you.
So I guess I learned today that we dont have to look so deep into things trying to see the bottom, that everything gets cloudy and murky.
As long as it's not Illegal, Immoral, and doesnt hurt anyone, why worry yourself?
Make a choice and trust God.
Thanks Tom, for the Words of Wisdom

How do you know?

I have a big decision to make this week and I have been praying about it.
It's a Job oppurtunity.
Like other decisions I have made recently, I have turned to God in prayer.
But how do you know if the feeling you get is from God?
Do you feel good when you think about it, do you get that resevation feeling?
Do you think that it will be O.K., or do you look at the struggle you may have for a while until you get settled in?
What is the deciding factor that lets you know God is GUIDING you?
Here is how you can help. You dont have to speak of your decision, or situation, but I would like to know what feeling you had that told you it was going to be O.K.
Or does it really matter, and just trust that God will take care of you no matter what!
Man I hate when I almost figure stuff out!
