So, let me explain where we've been in recent times... Brian got offered to go work up in the Cleveland area. It was a pretty big promotion so we said yes. However, we had a small piece of info that his work didn't have. We knew that the guy here in Mansfield doing the same job was quitting. So, we waited and waited and when he quit Bri got offerd the promotion HERE. Very exciting!! However, it leaves us with many decisions now... We want to get into mini farming, but only live on 1 acre on a state route- so do we move? Do we just try to buy an acre behind us (there's a huge corn field behind us)? Or do we stay here and just get some chickens and nothing else? And now Brian has to buy a vehicle... do we just buy a cheap car that will run like crap and bleed us? Do we buy a decent car with good gas mileage? Or a truck? Or a small SUV? Or? Or? Or? What to do, what to do... So, we're praying that God will help us with these mundane things we're considering...
But then we went and worked at an inner-city church in Columbus today. I helped in the nursery with kids 4 and under. This one very sweet little boy smelled and was obviously dirty. He had on tennis shoes that were too small and had holes in them and you could see his toes without socks. It seems terrible to keep wanting more when so many have none. My kids will never have to wear shoes that have holes on the sides. They will always be loved and well cared for, does it matter if they don't live on a mini farm? We are so blessed, and I need to spend more time being thankful for the blessings I have and how I can use them to further the kingdom...
Jesus rode into Jeruselem on a donkey 2000 some years ago, entering the last week of His life, preparing to die for my sins, so that I would be able to go Heaven and be able to say "I am forgiven, I am Christ's!! He bought me from hell and I belong here now!!" What's more important than any of those "life changing decisions" is how can I live my life to better portray that?
