Peace

Sometimes I feel God's peace and really feel like it is too good to be true.  Under normal circumstances I would be going crazy every second wondering what is going on.  However, God really blessed me this past week.  I had to be in SoCal for 6 days and was gifted with a free place to stay right by Newport Beach and Balboa.  I forgot how good it felt to be next to the ocean even on a chilly day.  

What was really cool was the time to spend with my mom.  Dusty could not come as he started a new job, which I thought I would be really upset with.  Don't get me wrong, I love my husband dearly and would love to spend the time with him.  But it was so nice to have some special time with my mom.  It was neat hearing about her teenage memories hanging by the beach and to just enjoy down time.  We went on long walks on the beach, went out to eat (probably too much!), watched movies on my laptop when it was raining outside, and napped :) 

The first night we arrived and were walking on Newport pier, I remember looking at the city lights and just feeling God's story all come to make sense right where I was standing.  Like I was supposed to be there and it was all falling into God's plan.  I don't want to get my hopes up at all, but I swear the Lord's fingerprints were ALL over the week and my current situation.  

So now I am home... and I wait...

I know I have to be prepared for things to not go according to my plan, but I am choosing at this moment to believe in God to be Good and Trust that he can make this all work for His plans.  

There are so many things I wish I could share, but at the same time, even if I did... you probably would not understand.  One thing I learned this past week is that I really need to rely on God to provide direction in my life as I often too much wanted others opinion/counsel to guide my direction as well.  However, so many people have NO clue about the shoes I am walking in right now and that is okay.  

God is guiding Dusty and Me, which is all we need!
