About this Story....

Welcome to "Caterpillars to Butterflies." This is a narrative of our faith journey and the incredible transformation God performed in our lives from 2007 to 2009. It is a story of God's unwavering faithfulness and what happens when we choose to trust Him, regardless of how circumstances appear. Through hardships, struggles, loss, and confusion, God revealed Himself to my husband, Tom, and me. We learned invaluable lessons about letting go of our own logic and understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6), surrendering our personal goals, and embracing His eternal purpose for our lives. Ultimately, this journey revealed His redeeming and transforming love for us. We hope our story inspires you to nurture your own faith and deepen your relationship with Him, trusting in His faithfulness no matter what challenges you face. May our journey from caterpillars to butterflies encourage you on your path.

Divine Timing and Threads Being Woven

I just had to mention what happened today—because it’s just so God. As Tom was leaving his breakfast meeting, he got a flat tire. He took the car to BY’s shop, and the cost for the new tire? Exactly $125.00—the same amount that was gifted to us yesterday! God knew we were going to need it before we did, and He provided for it in advance. How cool is that!?

Also, I’m seeing God stirring hearts at Freedom Church. Several people have been coming to B & C’s Friday night prophetic class, and it’s clear the Lord is doing something deep and significant. We heard last Friday that a few of them have resigned from their leadership positions to pursue what God is personally calling them to do. That kind of bold obedience is so exciting to witness! God is calling… and people are listening.

A and C also invited me to join a “Simple Church” online forum. It’s been interesting (and encouraging) to read through the posts and get to know the people. There’s a NC connection group, and a few of them even got together last Sunday night for dinner and fellowship. I’m hoping we’ll get the chance to join in next time. It’s amazing to hear testimonies from others who are feeling and hearing the same things from the Lord—it really feels like God is gathering and weaving something new.

I had lunch today with the woman I met at Apex Park last Friday. I wanted to share what God did over the weekend and thank her for her powerful prayers—which I believe helped set the whole thing in motion. I’m beginning to wonder if she and her fiancé might be part of the thread the Lord is weaving together. What for? Only He knows—but I trust it’s something good.

Tom and I argued again today, so I guess we’re not out of the “woods” yet. We were able to reconcile pretty quickly, thankfully, but I really do wish I could just keep my mouth shut and stick to praying for him like I used to. Lord, please give me the strength I need to accomplish this seemingly impossible task.
