on my heart...

so i just had to post what is on my heart...God has been pulling at my heart to write my testimony. the other day i was vacuuming and again i could feel God telling me to stop and LISTEN...okay...so i finally did, sat down and just started typing...absolutly amazing. i sat there for 3 hours and just typed away at my testimony. the spirit totally took over. so amazing how when you actually listen the Lord takes over and responds... even more crazy is that same morning tarrah sent me Isaiah 41:13...For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you...
Oh my gosh...exactly what I needed...to know it is my testimony but given to me for the Glory of God so in giving it, or writing it HE WILL BE HOLDING MY HAND!
also the Lord has totally made so many things so clear to me this week. a struggle that we had a few months ago was the decision on me going back to teaching or not...i mean financially it doesnt even make sense how things keep working out but we have known in our hearts that me being at home is what God has been calling us to do. anyway this week God has shown me all that he has done w/ my heart, soul and mind while i have been home w/ the girls. he has also blessed me with the most amazing friendships and given them so much strength...there is no amount of money that could replace me growing spiritually or spending time on new and lasting relationships/friendships. none of these blessings could have been poured over me, janson or our family if we had not been obediant to the Lord. Last night Janson was praying over me and it all totally hit me like a ton of bricks...crazy how perfect Gods timing is. so i just pray that we will continue to listen to Gods calling, and be obediant...the world is not our savior...Christ is!!! thank you God for that!!!!

thank you miss kristin!!!
