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.

I was so tired yesterday after working out! It is so bitter sweet to start working out again, it feels good but my body feels the effects a lot more in the beginning. Tom sent me an IM yesterday after his worship time and said that he had just listened to the song “The Voice of Truth” and felt encouraged again to stay focused on God and not to listen to the disapproving voices of the people around us. I know they mean well and I can’t say that I would be any different if I were in their shoes… this is one of those things that you have to be in our shoes to truly understand. I am learning to be more compassionate and understanding about what people are going through. Tom has said many times, I would rather fail trusting in God then fail not trusting in Him. I have to agree with him.

I spent my evening with my grand daughter last night. We went to Golden Corral and then to Wal-Mart for bubbles… We ended up getting a doll and a dresses as well but I stayed within my budget :) I love this time with the kids, they are so precious!

Excerpt from the Daily Bread:

We now have these two assurances: God’s unfailing love—He will never leave us nor forsake us (Heb. 13:5). And God’s promise of full redemption in due time—He will redeem us from all our iniquities (Ps. 130:8) and present us before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy (Jude 24).

We’re forgiven! We’re free! With the psalmist, let’s worship the Lord as we await His coming. —David Roper
