It's the little things

Oh let me just tell you. The Lord is at work! I'm not really sure what He is doing, but He is preparing my family and I for something big!
We moved to Louisiana 3 weeks ago and I have to say this has been one of the toughest moves yet!(And we have moved 9 times in 5 years)
You know, honestly I think the reason this one has been so hard is because I got comfortable in Virginia. I was fine just the way things were. I was comfortable. Not that that is wrong and actually I was very involved in our church, but that's as far as it went. I was not longer reaching out to the lost, the hurting, the dying.

This move has changed my thinking in a lot of ways! Being my last summer before college it has been particularly tough. Where am I going to go to college?? But that is a a topic for another post.

When we first got here I went through somewhat of a depression. I hated it. I wanted to go back to where I knew, where I was comfortable. But I know that is not where I was suppose to be. I was talking with a friend last night and he asked me how I was liking it here. And I had a pity party for myself and was telling him about all the things that I hate. And then I remembered that I had prayed that the Lord would never allow me to be comfortable. And I remembered that it wasn't in this alone. My Father is always here for me! It gave me a new perspective and now I remember that life isn't about being comfortable, it's about loving the Lord. It's about seeking Him in everything I do. It's about realizing that that sunrise I watched this morning was painted by MY CREATOR. It's about seeing Christ in the little things.

Jeremiah 29:11-13

"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."
