The Forgotten Blog




It's been 7 months since my last blog post. 7 months of me being unable to put in words all the thoughts that have been rattling around in my head. I have had the nudge to write, but have been afraid to succumb to the nudge, afraid of writing the words to what I feel. 

I have written, deleted and written again, really not knowing what to write. There is a fine line between putting your thoughts and feelings "out there" and just exposing yourself (and your family). My goal with this blog has always been about "my little journey in faith" and these last 7 months that little faith has been tested over and over again.

There have been days I didn't think I would or could survive the test, but in the end HE is always enough. The Lord taught me how to let go of my ideals and let him have full control of my journey and the journey of my little family. I have struggled with the journey, some days I have no idea which way to go, and other days the clarity is before me. I and I believe my family has learned to embrace the change around us and cling ever tightly to HIM. It really is all about Him, and if I've learned anything these last months, it is that. He is enough. He is all that matters.

Today, I don't know what the journey will bring, there is just a tiny bit of light for me to follow, but I know God is working and that really is what the whole journey is about anyway. Him.

Phillipians 2:13
"For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure."

Faith without Fear

This thought has been on my heart all week, faith without fear. How many times have you stepped out on faith and noticed the trembling inside as you shook with fear? Isn’t it a scary thing to obey the Lord and take that step of faith? Not knowing where God is sending you, how He is going to provide for you, if you are going to get that job offer, if He is going to heal you, if your loved one is going to accept Christ, what to do next… Couldn’t you just tremble with fear NOT knowing??                 Hebrews 11:23 “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.” I was reading Hebrews this week and when I read this verse, a light seemed to come on. I had never thought about faith that way, faith without the fear. As you know, this blog is all about my journey in faith but I wo...

Little Lessons in Faith

Last weekend, Jason and I had the privilege to go and work with a missionary who is beginning a church plant in the states. He has been a missionary for many years and has planted five churches in five countries throughout his ministry. I made a late decision in the week to travel with Jason so I really began the trip by scurrying around to make sure I had all I needed packed. We took Miss Addison with us and if you have a little one you know there are always a million things you can’t forget! As we start our journey very early Saturday morning I ask (for at least the fifth time) where we are to meet the missionary. My husband replies (for at the least the fifth time) “I don’t know honey, he said he would tell us when we get closer.” I smile and try not to stress, as I am planner and when a trip is involved I have it ALL planned weeks before! True to his word, about 30 minutes before our arrival we get a phone call with directions on where to meet. Now, we are heading his way and af...
