Discontent

Hello out there!

I fell off the face of the earth but don't worry I am back in action and excited to return to the blogging world!  

How have all you been lately?! I've missed you...  I am constantly saying this but life has been crazy lately.  I think that life is just always crazy and I am not the best at handling it all.  Many recent updates lately, my sweet mother got in an accident on the way to pick up my daughter and broke her back. :( She is doing well though and recovering wonderfully!  Praise God!  He is good and I am so thankful that it wasn't much worse because it could have been.  God is good all the time ladies and I've realized my mother is strongest person I know she is truly a woman of grace.  I am so thankful to have her as my mother, she gives strength to those around her.  Then we have almost moved like 20 times, well I'm exaggerating but my husband and I are always up for an adventure.  We recently got into this deep state of discontentment and wanted to move to California, he applied for several associate pastor jobs out there and even looked into to going to school then we just realized we were just discontent and we needed to stay right where we were.  Then I read a wonderful book, Kisses from Katie, I highly recommend by the way!  I got obsessed with Africa, I started studying Africa and learning as much as I could about it and even got hooked up with several organizations out there and well, we were ready to sell all we owned and move to Africa to take care of orphans.  Then, the Lord said well that's a great idea but not what I have for you, at least not for now.  It's amazing how much we try to do on our own!  So, now we are trying to buy a home in Amarillo and will make this our home for now at least or possibly forever.  I was scared at this idea for so long.  I am an adventurer, I want to go and see the world, sell all my junk, and do something crazy!  The Lord has a sense of humor though and calms my wild spirit and says, "The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps." Proverbs 16:9  I am so thankful that the Lord Himself establishes our every step, even when we our halfway to Africa and dreaming of the beaches of California.  He will establish you right where He wants you and move you when He wants you to move.  So here we are people, right here in our little quaint life in Amarillo, TX.  We found the key is, be faithful where you are at doing what's written in scripture and everything else will fall perfectly into place.  "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33.  My husband and I were missing out on the things God was trying to teach us here and the ministry opportunities He had given us here because we were discontent and anxious.  Thank you Father for showing us our sin and giving us the grace to rejoice in where we are right now!  He is so merciful and faithful and His love really does endure forever though all things!  This is a short entry for today but I just wanted to get my feet wet and inform you on all the happenings in the Graham Fam!  

Much love in Christ, our Lord,
