Decisions

What does it look like to follow God? While there are some basic tenets to be followed, the path can and will look different for different people. How do you know if you are following the right path for you? Do you feel a sense of peace with the work you are doing , whether it be parenting, a job, your role in the church and community,? For a long time Brian and I have not felt like we were exactly where God wanted us to be. We now must decide where God is leading, and if we choose to follow. Though many will discourage us and try to tell us we are not doing God's will, we must follow God not man. Oftentimes people become upset because they are not following God and it angers them to see others who are . Or maybe they are doing God's will by living a "normal" life in suburbia and being active in a place of worship. They think that if that is where God wants them then that must be where God wants others too.
Brian and I know the "normal " life is not where God wants us. Though as one Christian comedian used to say weirdness is a relative thing. It has taken many years but I am beginning to assemble a group of friends who think homeschooling can be a "normal" thing, , having more than 2. 5 kids is a blessing not a curse, homebirth is a natural safer way of bringing life into this world ( for most women) , and that modern medical practice does not hold all the answers and is often a source of the problem rather than a solution. Now God is calling us to take another step of faith into the unknown.. We are not sure where it will lead but I know with HIM as our shepherd; we will be well provided for . I just ask for my Christian brothers and sisters to pray with Brian and I, that we will have the courage and wisdom to follow where HE leads . Pray for our kids as well that we may model Christ like behavior to them in all things. I LOVE YOU JESUS! Selah...
