Sometimes I think about it and I ask why did we choose this ? Other times I realize that it had already been chosen for us. God knows what He is doing, we bring something to the community like everyone else. He wanted us to take it here now. We are always on this road of discovery when it comes to God's will for our lives. The answers lie in His hands, walking by faith is all he asks of us. We know that Jesus walked through His life the same way. The example He gives us of traveling from place to place without knowing anyone nor having any way of filling the day to day needs, shows us that it can be done. That God is in control and will not abandon you, even when you seem a little lost about how to venture out and become acquainted with your surroundings. Some people really struggle with this I do understand their reasons why they would not choose this for themselves. I wouldn't consider myself an outgoing person, but I can clearly see that God has given me an enthusiasm to meet people and adjust. A motivation if you will. You see I know that I am not here for me... that he has a story that He wants to tell through my life and my husband's. The work of my hands that he has given, has a purpose. What I love most is that art is a universal language and now we are located in an International city. Yes it is a Southwestern city, but it is also recognized for all its international corporate headquarters. Which of course bring in a lot of foreigners. I think about how they have all relocated here as well, most from a lot further away than myself. So how can I say that I live in this vacant land full of unknowns, when there are so many others just like me. Yes, God has a plan, maybe it is to use my art, or maybe just to use my life in general. This I know I am not dislocated just relocated. Though I walk into church and know no one, or go to the grocery store and know no one this I do know... God knows me. I am never alone. &
