Don't make me count to five!!

Obedience. Something I expect from my children the first time. I have trained them to listen the first time, in preparation for obeying our Lord when He first calls them to obey. I have learned ( and continue to learn) that His ways are best. Most of the time I wonder WHY? Because I don't see the big picture. Just like a loving parent screams to their child to move as a car comes barreling around a corner. The child is scared and wonders why you had to scream to get their attention. They were unaware of their impending doom. In the same way our heavenly Father guides us (and yes sometimes he has to scream at me to get my attention) and I wonder why did He have to do it that way? If I do not listen to His voice, however loud or quiet it may be, I am facing impending doom!! His ways are higher than my ways! Being obedient is easy at times. It's not hard to say Yes I believe in Jesus Christ because then I am free from sin. But to LIVE for Christ is at times hard. When the Lord leads you in ways you have never dreamed and you know if you CHOOSE to follow Him others may look at you differently (or think you're off your rocker!!). That is where I sit these days. As God, in His perfect timing, reveals His plan for our family. We find ourselves sitting in an awesome place. Because we know we are right where God wants us. And we won't move until He says it's time. Until then please continue to pray for us. As we face these huge life changes pray that we would stand bold in our faith, be obedient and as we do we will fall more in love with Jesus...
