Having A Story To Be Told.

Wouldn't that be nice? To have a story. So when someone finally asks you {I don't know, maybe God?}, "Hey, so what's your story?" You can tell it. I mean, just picture running into Jonah. You ask his story. Then you feel as big as your 15 month old's span of vocabulary cause well...did you get eaten by whale? I highly doubt it...although sometimes I feel like it would be nice to get eaten by a whale, wouldn't it? Just eat me already...

In spite of my lows, I still have to look at the highs and all the blessings that surround me. I actually DO have a story being written. I can't say that I can tell it yet, but perhaps soon? The Lord is preparing our family for some big things. I'm not sure what but it includes changing the world. But Danielle...how do you know this? Well, you see...I don't really know...George maybe? Something about a revelation from the Holy Spirit and my husbands {sometimes creepy} confidence that tells me this. George has an amazing life story already at the young ripe age of...wait, maybe I shouldn't tell you. And already, together, we have journeyed through this road called life reaping many blessings from the Lord. All for which we are very grateful for and at the same time, can't help but think He's setting us up for something. Something great. Something amazing. I don't know much about revelations from the Holy Spirit {my listening skills aren't up to par with the Lord these days...I tend to be the talker...} but when George looks me dead in the eye and says a long time ago he was told we were meant for big things. I listen. I got a little squirmy and freaked out, but hey...when you don't know your future? Who isn't scared? I mean, I tend to think drastically too. Do I need to pack my bags for Cambodia? Is there going to be a car accident? People have crazy stories and if I'm gonna be one of those people my mind just goes...gone.

That's the hard part though...trying not to question it. Everyone has a story. And at the same time no one really knows what it is {FYI: it may or may not include a whale}. It's so easy to forget your blessings, focus on the lows of your life and turn into a worry wart about what's to come. That's not what God has planned for our lives. He wants so much more for us. I just know it! For the Mekhail's? Having kids isn't the end of our rope, either is reaching the top of the corporate ladder or getting a home. As far as we know, there's so much more life to live. And WE choose to live in the present, to let God continue to write our story and to do what we can to bring this world to Christ.
