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.

Certain of what we do not see

I keep hearing in my heart:

“Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see.” Hebrews 11:1

“Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.”Ephesians 6:10

Yesterday, KM said something that hit deep: “Hope in what we can see is no hope at all.” And she’s right. If we’re only hoping in what we can physically see or predict, that’s not faith—it’s just comfort. But real faith? It’s raw, it’s stretching, and it anchors us in the unseen reality of God's promises.

This morning, I feel strong in the Lord—and in His mighty power! Not mine. Not our circumstances. Just Him. And it feels awesome. That strength… that assurance… it doesn’t come from anything visible. It comes from knowing deep down that no matter what today holds, He is with us. He’ll give us what we need—maybe it won’t always be financial provision, but it will be grace, strength, peace, and endurance. And that is more than enough.

So today, my focus is clear: keep my eyes on the Lord. Do what He’s called me to do, and let Him handle everything else. I don’t need to strive or worry—He’s got it. All of it.
