Hearts Transformed

We, David and I, are waiting on big news. He is up for a wonderful job with a wonderful company and was told he would hear something by last Thursday. A phone call followed on Friday that informed him he would hear the first part of this week. WELL IT IS WEDNESDAY and in my book that is mid week. I am trying today to keep in mind that today is all I have to worry about because tomorrow will have enough worries of it's own. But that is so stinking hard. I want a plan. I want a list. I want an answer to this question. I want to know what is next. But I am trying, probably not as hard as I should, to take a breath . After all, I did say that was my personal theme for 2011. Today I am thankful that I have a husband that loves me. Thankful that we both have jobs in an unsure economy. Thankful that God has a plan for our future. And learning that I don't have to know.

Each week at CCH  we have a devotion lead by one of our staff members. This week happened to be Mark Williams's week. He shared a few great thoughts some of his own, some borrowed. But here are a couple I wanted to share.    Joseph tells his brothers and family of his BIG dreams and it doesn't go so well. And although in the end the dreams in fact come true, do you think Joseph would have agreed to those dreams if he had seen the journey he would have to take to get there? Which naturally leads to the question; Would you pass on some big dreams if you knew the road leading to them was marked by danger, accusations, and suffering? David and I are in the middle of one of those not so fun parts of our journey together. He is currently in Washington, D.C. and I am here in Nashville. Obviously this isn't ideal but we are blessed to both be working and I just couldn't help but think that God was reassuring me that the journey may not always be what we had in mind but he ha
