Learning thru Life

Isn't it amazing how through our whole lives we are constantly learning? God puts us through situations so that we can learn from our experiences! I meet once a week with two other ladies for Bible study and accountability. I have grown really close to these two ladies! Right now in our lives, we all have different situations going on. I have this issue of what is God teaching me going on...still haven't learned whatever it is. The other two ladies have other situations that are just as confusing in their lives and they can't possibly imagine what God is trying to teach them either. So I got to wondering...are we always in situations where we must learn and I think the answer is yes. If you're not learning in one area of your life, you're learning in another.

One good thing has happend in my life...the relationship that has been struggling over the last two months or so I feel like God has brought some reconcilation there. It's definitely not like it was before, but it will never be the same way again. Hopefully, the relationship will continue to rebound and be better than it was before, but it will not ever be as it was...it'll be worse or better. I hope better. But I'm so thankful for my last interaction with this couple. I felt like for the first time, they cared and they wanted to see the relationship mended. I still desperately need clarity in where our family is to be involved in church. In my opinion at this time, it is a matter of obedience in where God has called us to serve. Just the problem is none of us at our home are certain where that is. The current church we are in has such huge potential. My kids love it there! Neither Zine nor I see our place of service though. We're told we have a place, but God has not revealed that to us yet. So what is it that God wants in our service for Him....He still has to reveal. But we are waiting with open hearts. We can remain where we are or we can move on to where ever God might lead. We are very open to His leading right now...because I guarantee...we don't have a plan. I took Conner to dr. yesterday and he said, hold on, I"ll be back, I have a plan. I responded I'm so glad because I didn't have a plan. I feel that way with God right now, God's said hold on, I have a plan. Good thing because I don't! So I know for certain God will reveal His plan for our lives and I also know that Zine and I both are willing and ready to follow His leading. One of the possible ministry possibilities...one of those is a full time job and I in no way want to go back in ministry full time. My first ministry is to my family!

Chloe went to MDA clinic last week. It was such a great visit. The old dr. was gone. New dr. was great! The whole atmosphere was different. Hallelujah! So glad that God worked that situation out! We are awaiting some type of inserts for her shoes. We hope that makes her feet hurt less. Time will tell. Nothing else we can do for her hands other than what we're doing. So for now, we just keep on keeping on as is!

Conner is sick! Running fever, sinus infection, etc. etc. Same old story! But the good news is...he always gets well! So in another 24 hours or so, he ought to be getting better.

My mom sees surgeon on Friday. Will get results from last week's MRI. She hopes that they can do something. So we are anxiously awaiting that report.

I'm so glad not to feel as heavy hearted as I've felt for two months now. The last two months have been terrible. But my heart is not as heavy all the time and I'm so thankful!

I'm being requested to get off computer so Conner can have some time on Webkinz...since he is sick...I guess I'll let him get on there. It is a pretty fun place!!
