Lord, I will never......

I remember when I was a teenager that I was pretty much a goody two shoes. I wish so much I had been different. I guess when you grow up in a small town, you take on whatever personality you grow up around. And, I was a deacon's daughter. My mom worked at the only bank in town. If I heard it once, I heard it a million times....remember who you belong to?

But how did my "witness" affect others? I have heard a few positive testimonies of what my walk showed them. However, I am afraid that too many times, I was not a positive witness.

I, also, had my list of never's......you know....

I will never homeschool.....(I majored in Math and Secondary Ed...I taught for almost a decade in the public sector.)

I will never date anyone who works offshore....guess what, I married one. haha!

I will never let my children act that way in public. (If you know my children, please do not laugh too loudly!)

I will never, I will never.....

Well, God sure has a sense of humor. I married an offshore guy who has truly challenged my faith. His faith pushed me to really study and take stands where I never thought I could.

My life is sort of what I dreamed it would be....but I never thought I would spend 4 months helping my husband's family in San Antonio. I never thought I would make my way freely around the San Antonio area.
I never thought I would travel solo with two kids under the age of 5 in a mini van....for over 10 hours straight!

Now, there is a possibility that we might be relocating to...not just another state, but another country on the other side of the world.

Lord, Your ways are higher than mine. You already know Your plan for us. Just open the doors so we can follow You through them.

Amen!
