Gaining Perspecitive

It has been a long time since I have signed in. I needed some time to separate myself from everything that was happening and gain some perspective.

Things are finally settling down and returning to somewhat normal. I would say normal but I'm not a normal person so that would not be true.(lol) I wanted to thank everyone who has prayed and supported us over the last 4 months. I will admit it has been a difficult journey that we have not always handled well. When life changes sometimes and it changes in ways that you don't expect you kind of get lost in the process.

For years Jason and I have been in ministry and it has been our whole lives. it was devastating to wake up one morning and literally not have it. It kind of takes a little piece of who you are. It was hard to find my barrings and it was even harder to find myself. In some way my identity was wrapped into what we did.

When I lost that I felt as if I had lost myself. Of course I realize that who I am in Christ Jesus never changes but our perspective changes. I guess I should say how we view ourselves changes. I know today that we gain our confidence from Christ and I know that God loves us and wants what is best for us.

So even though men disappoint us and life changes God never changes. He remains the same. He remains constant in our lives and we are loving Him and serving Him on His terms now.

Once again thank you for praying for us it has been a long narrow road and a weary traveled one. We really do appreciate the prayers and the words of encouragement you have send our way.

God is not done with us and we know that in time God will heal and somehow use what the enemy has caused great pain with for His glory. God can turn around this situation after all we are all children of the most high.
