What it is all about.

Finding out what life is all about is not an easy task. I thought I had everything in my life figured out. I was shocked when God called us to move away, far away from everything I knew. I have been angry, especially because I have not been able to find a church in the place where God called us to go. Well this week it finally started coming to Chris and I why we were brought far away. First Chris and I relied to much on our church back home. We let our church carry us and only our church fed our spiritual needs. Until moving away from the place that was the source of leading our spiritual lives we never realized how much we depended on church and our family of believers. Being away from that has allowed chris and I to depend on ourselves and each other to be the ones leading our spiritual walk. I never use to read the Bible, and felt no need to because I got what I thought I needed at church. Since moving to Florida I can't imagine a day without reading my Bible. Chris and I would rarely pray together and since moving to Florida we pray every day and do devotionals every night together. Yes this could have happened living in Indiana, but I believe we were brought out of our comfort zone to help build our faith. We do not have a stable church, or a group of strong christian friends in Florida, but for once we are both growing strongly in our relationship with God. I can't wait for the day that God says it is time to go back to Indiana, and share all you have learned. I am sure there is more to be learned and there is still more to the reason God called us to Florida. I can't wait to see what else he has to teach Chris and I.

God done the very same thing with me this year. I found out who and what I was trusting in when I "thought" it was God. When people and things began to be taken from me, I found out I wasn't trusting in and depending on God much at all. I have learned and grown so much by it and I know you will also. You will find that God is really all you need. When you totally trust Him and really put Him first in your life, He will give back more than you could ever ask or imagine.
