Called to Serve
Where does time go.. It has been 7 years since Rob and I and our little baby girl left Salmon. In search of BIG dreams! In search of what God wanted from us! If we had know what was infront of us we might have never left, but God had bigger plans. God has taken us to many lows and to many highs in our faith walk these past few years! He has showed us what true dependency on him looks like and how no one else will carry us through life. Their opioins, the car we drive or the house we live in will not bring us Joy or happiness. Only he can bring us that Joy. To truly grasp that and live in full knowledge, that his plan is perfect even when it makes no sense to our human minds is at times the most scary thing I have done and that is why it is called Faith! These past years have not been without many hard times and times of truly asking him if we were in the right place. Isnt it funny how sometimes when things go wrong in a plan we automatically asume that we are out of Gods will? Instead of seeing the blessing and expecting a miracle? Thats what he wants isnt it! He want us to expect soemthing great! To allow him to work to show us how Amazing he is! Moving back to Salmon in less than a week is one of the scariest moves I have ever made. It doesnt always makes sence to me why we are moving back there especially when I am frequently asked WHY would you come back here? Besides God did some pretty Remarkable things to get us back there and he spoke directly to Rob and I and told us we are to be there! So with no strings attached we are jumping with reckless abandonment we are just doing it and we will see what God can do with it! We want to be his hands and feet to spead the message that Jesus Saves that he lives in me and he can live in you! He can be the Best friend you never had. Opening a Daycare feels so beyond me! I love kids and many people over that past couple weeks have told me I have found my calling but I feel so inadquate for the job! But I know God wants to use me to speak love and happiness into these little lives he will place in my hands and I pray with all I am that he will provide me with the things I need to be a place of shelter for these precious little ones! So scary right? Daycare really God? See I still dont believe it myself! But it is Amazing the things he has provided and the encourgement he has sent my way from many people I would have never dreamed would be so supportive and tell me this is my calling! So I pray for strenght and patientce and all the other things as person I will need to guide and nuture these precious children! I am so excited for my kids to experience growing up in Salmon! It is Awesome to live in the City and do the City things like Silverwood, Santa Crusies and Amazing fireworks 3 times a year! But I want them to know what a day on the lake is like with only 2 other people all day! What it is like to stand feet away from the most amazing creatures and to know that this is true living! That being where God wants you to be and surrounded by all that beauty there is no better calling in the World! I am so excited to serve with Mike Palmer at Salmon Valley Baptist Church he has been there every step of the way for Rob and I. From dedicating our children or a phone call to say help we dont know what to do he has always been there`! Rob is looking forward to learning and growing into a bi-vocational pastor and church planting some Cowboy churches! And we know God is working and has some big plans with our lives! We are just sitting back and letting him take us on our ride! So now we return 4 not 3 to share his love with others as we are Called to Serve!
