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.

Change of Plans and Seeking His Guidance

We had a change of plans yesterday. D called and said that her kids (R and N) have head lice, so we decided to stay with P and N one more night before heading over to R and L’s house. L is picking us up around 12:30 today and taking us to the aquarium.

I woke up this morning and realized that I haven’t been praying about where we’ll be landing when we return. So I took a few minutes to bring that before the Lord.

This morning’s Spirit of Prophecy was especially timely—it felt like it was directly addressing our situation:

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns -- July 2, 2008:

As you stand face to face with situations and possibilities that you never could have imagined, your inclination is to make decisions based on how you feel. But, that is not your best recourse. Do not be impatient or hasty. Take the time to really seek My face for wisdom and guidance. Come to the place of peace in your soul so that you can actually be led by My Spirit. To do otherwise will only create more chaos and confusion. Trust Me to direct your steps, says the Lord.

"Do not be rash with your mouth, and let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; therefore let your words be few." Ecclesiastes 5:2 

Lord, I pray that we would seek Your face in this (and all) situation(s), and not make decisions based on how we feel or what we think should happen!

We’ve had such a wonderful time with P and N and the kids. This is the first time we’ve really had this much quality time together, and it has been so nice. 😊
