Season of change

The title of this blog, "Season of Change," is calming. It sounds easy- like the sometimes unnoticeable changes in the actual seasons. You gradually notice this change as the bright colors of summer turn into warm autumn tones. However, it doesn't disrupt anything; it does not effect the normal ebb and flow of life.
This "season of change" for me is not like that. It's more like I've been placed inside of a snow globe and shaken by a five year old who ate too much frosting. The snow is spinning in circles more like a tornado than a soft winter scene; and I'm still not quite sure if I'm upside down or right side up.

Let me say one thing before I continue: I am experiencing miraculous change. There is no other place I'd rather be than in the middle of this season.

Three months ago I was eagerly anticipating my Spring Break vacation. I was planning on taking a trip to Alabama with my boy friendChris to visit my aunt in Wetumpka. We were wondering what Chris was going to do after college and I was completely unsure of what to do for the next school year. We didn't know when we'd be married, where we'd live, or how we'd support ourselves. I was terrified.

But God then decided to take that snow globe and shake it until every thing fell into the perfect place. Chris proposed that weekend in Alabama and we set our wedding date for November. That same weekend we ended up interviewing at a church in Ozark, AL, where Chris is now happily employed. We rented a house. It was furnished for us. We are financially stable, our pantry is full AND we have a washer and dryer. :) Three weeks from now I will be moving up to Alabama, where God has provided another home for Chris to live in until we get married. We are surrounded by incredible church families in Alabama, Florida and Michigan.

Dumb question coming: Do we serve a miracle working, faithful, awesome God? Um- yes, we do.

I will be writing a blog telling about the amazing miracles He has performed during this "season of change." It will be worth reading, because He is a God worth reading about. :)
