In Between

A year ago I would have told you our future plans, 99.9% sure that they were going to happen. Now I am waiting, not sure where we will be or what we will be doing in our future. It's like that bible verse says:

"Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city,
and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit."
Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow.
You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.
Instead, you ought to say,
"If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that."
James 4:13-15

So here I am. I feel like we are in between lives. J is finishing both his degrees in a little more than a year. I am working nights and weekends. Sunday mornings, when the majority of the Christian world is attending church, I am serving people breakfast. J and I see each other less often than we probably should but I think that knowing that this phase in our life is temporary makes it all bearable.
I am still unsure of where we might be in the next year. Even the possibilities that have surfaced we have shared only with a few select people. It's not that I am worried, not at all. I KNOW that God has something good planned for us. He would not let all the talents he has given J go to waste. I am just not so keen to declare our possible plans to the world(Like I did before the rug got pulled out from under us). So for now, if the Lord wills, we will be living in Michigan somewhere building a campus ministry and church out of thoughts and dreams. One thing is for sure. We plan to dream.

  1. Wow Liz is every post of yours going to make me teary eyed? You are very talented yourself. God has put you and your husband together for a very good purpose. All those gifts he has given you both will be used for Him. Continuing dreaming. Love you.
