2 Corinthians 3-6

The reading this morning and the Love Dare/Sister Challenge and all I can think about this morning is time w/my daughter and us going to see P-Dub..yeah we're nerds like that....excited to go see a blogger / cookbook author but dang if you follow her at all you know what a phenom she is, her blogging skills...cooking....photography....decorating....homeschooling.... she's just a really fun read....and my daughter...well she's pretty fun to hang out with....so yeah I'm kind of geeked out this morning...

This whole moving thing stirs up alot in me and confuses me and downright scares me to death. That we would maybe have to move away from our family here...when the truth is we ran away from 'family' ....and it's all been good and best for our family to create our own nucleus and if we'd been running TO something I probably wouldn't be feeling this way...but at the time it was a running away.....and now....I wonder what we do with that? I hear...'there is no iredeemable harm' ..... The best thing for Dan and I, our marriage, our family was finding Christ and there is a part of me , irrational perhaps that thinks that wouldn't have happened 'there'....and for 2 years praying to live in RISK thinking NOLA or SA and seriously Creston Ia.....and now ...now what??

2 Corinthians 6: 3 We put no stumbling block in anyone's path, so that our ministry will not be discredited. 4 Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses; 5 in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger; 6 in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; 7 in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left; 8 through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors; 9 known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed; 10 sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

I've wanted w/our families what we say to match what we do....that hasn't happened...'there is no iredmeemable harm'....and we will go where You say go.....
