I can’t

I cried tonight… actually I wept.

I haven’t cried much in the last few months. I’ve not been in denial that my entire life is changing, I just knew I couldn’t analyze it yet. I felt like transitions aren’t real life- they are on your way to your real life. So I wanted to wait, holding my breath till I could decide how life was going to be.

Our church changing and walking with people we love through it.

My husband’s job changing with it and a lot of unknowns.

Our new son- who is doing so well but is still kicking my tail.

Three other kids.

My writing- giving everything I have left to communicate God to people.

I can’t do it all.

I have reached my end.

So tonight I ask you God to carry us through the consequences of obeying you. You knew when each of these things were designed for us that they would collide in the middle of 2011. By your design I can’t do this without you.

If God is real and if he actually has supernatural things for us- crazy things- then he has to accomplish them through supernatural means. We are counting on that here. I pray our lives are nothing short of miracles- acts of God moving in and through us, since that is actually possible and since we followed him off some cliffs, we find it now necessary.

Where do you need God right now?

Love you Jennie. I’ll pray that prayer with you as it absolutely a crazy collision of events! Thank you for modeling “anything” obedience for me sister.

Really impacted by the prayer, “so tonight God…”.
I needed to hear that and be reminded that the Author of my plan WILL see me through it! Thank you for the blessing.

Life is hard. Change is harder still. But…God is big…bigger than any of it! You’ve taught me that to risk it all is what it’s all about, that we can trust falling hard down on him. Way to risk girl. I’m right beside you. Keep doing it. It’s the right thing.

Jeanie, the more I learn, the less I know. But I do know, God is with you through everything. I know He is faithful and just, even when we can’t see it.

Prayers and Blessings***

Amen sister. Needing God big time to just get out of bed right now and parent well and submit to my hubs and handle all the change that is going on in my own life. Praying for you!
