So as I read other people's blogs, I begin to wonder why I don't have one. So here it goes.
It is an incredible experience to look over your shoulder and see where God placed you in order to get you where he wanted you to be in this very moment of your life. I truely believe I would not have believed anyone who would have told me that the events in my life in the last 2 years would be taking place. I am certain that I would have laughed at them and thought they were crazy, but God knew.
I am amazed every time I think of what He has let me be a part of. The people I have met, the lives I have touched and the lives that have touched me. Who am I that He would have me do something so great fro Him? I am an ordinary woman whom God called to do extrodinary things for His glory.
At work they asked us where we saw ourselves in 5 years. I pondered this for quite sometime and came to the conclusion that I don't know. I never thought I would be where I am, so how can I know what He has planned for me in the next 5 years?! I was a woman who did not pray out loud and now weekly close the bible study I co-lead in prayer. I had a daughter going to college and thought I would be traveling the world and now I have fostered 7 children in 2 years. I was a woman who had a fear of public speaking and now I have spoken about foster care on at least 5 occasions to audiences of strangers. The growing and stretching I have experienced is incredible to me. I look around and wonder how I got here, but I know how, God carried me because I could not do it alone. He provided a village of people to love and support me through everything. I am excited to see what he has planned for me next.
