Back in August of 2009 i posted this:
now over a year later, the plan is unfolding. i am watching it before my eyes! many things have happened this past year, most of which i would have never planned. BUT i put myself in the backseat for this ride, and decided long ago to wait and watch. i decided - kicking and screaming, but i decided. at first it was tough to not know the plan and to trust others when deciding the outcome for this season of my life, but now i know why. i needed the rest. i needed to be free from the overwhelming stress of it. my desires this year have changed. my goals have changed. my focus has changed. my heart has changed.
so although the plan was not my own, nor was it one i would have ever thought of, this has been the ride of my life so far. God is leading us around the country and revealing so many 
wonderful blessings to us. he has given us a precious little baby boy and revealed our daughters kind and tender heart. He is the pilot for this puddle jumper. and i feel relieved to KNOW He is in control. He has provided for us this past year when we didn't know where the next dollar would come from, and i have felt His love for our family by these provisions. He has taken my stress and worry and turned it into eager eyes. meaning, i eagerly look for Him in every situation. i look for what He will do, how He will reveal His plan, or what will He teach us in that particular situation. the past two years were filled with heartache, health problems, financial instability, but through all of it He provided! i have never been promised that hard times wouldn't happen...but i have been promised that through it all, He is there. He will always be there.

Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." Phillippians 4:6-7
within all of the bad there have been a thousand blessings to be thankful for. so many wonderful things have happened because of the lessons He taught and is continuing to teach. so with eager eyes i look forward to what He has in the next leg of our trip! i pray for his continued provisions. i look for his limitless blessings. i am listening for his booming voice in many decisions that are coming around the bend."Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?" Hebrews 12:7
