The New Me?

It's been awhile since I have written anything and so after seeing a few friends recent posts I remembered..."I too have a blog!" Insert Smile here~ Many times we see or hear on TV how professionals or entertainers have to re-invent their look, style or craft. I guess I am sorta at a place in my life where God is walking me through a reinvention so to speak.

Many of you know this past year I underwent some surgery or rather a "tune up" of the breast and tummy areas. I am not afraid to share or tell people I had some work done. I have wanted to have these things done for years in order to allow myself more physical freedom and less day to day pain from the OLD body I had from carrying three wonderful but very large children during pregnancy. One wonderful thing for my health in the future is the fact that my mammograms in the future will be even more accurate and easier to read. Those of you who know my families journey over the past years with Breast Cancer know this was a wonderful and peaceful knowledge to gain. I was also told that at the time of the surgery and tissue that went to pathology there were no signs of any cancer which was also a wonderful blessing of God.

So with my "new body" I have began another journey this summer and that is the final season of parenting a child in my home. This next nine months will be the last that I have a teenager in my home living .....we will begin the journey of walking with Annie as she seeks to find her College where she will go to begin her journey toward becoming a Missionary. This is a bittersweet end for me. Driving with Jeff through the city the other night I reached for his hand and said, "Am I really almost done being a stay at home mom?"

When I choose to leave my full-time career and close my business six year ago it was because I wanted to walk closer with Annie and Josh in their last days at home. I never really thought about the end. I mean OK I did think about the, no shoes laying around, the quietness I would enjoy, and the money I would save at the store! I mean yeah okay, I thought of that stuff, but I didn't think about all that quiet room that would be in my heart.

I love watching God work in our life.....I love actually getting to laugh at some of the fun things he does for us. Yes their will be quiet rooms in my heart but that's only because the junk and business has been given away to memories and treasures that are priceless.

Yes I am once again being re-invented, wonder what He will do next!

"For I know the plans He has for Me..."

P.S. This song is my testimony and I always love to share the words He is using in my heart.

Beautiful Lord, Wonderful Saviour
I know for sure, all of my days are held in your hands, crafted
into your perfect plan
You gently call me into your presence guiding me by Your Holy Spirit
Teach me dear Lord to live all of my life through Your eyes
I'm captured by Your holy calling
Set me apart, I know you're drawing me to yourself
Lead me Lord I pray

Chorus:
Take me, Mold me, use me, fill me
I give my life to the Potter's hand
Call me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me
I give my life to the Potter's hand

You gently call me into your presence guiding me by your Holy Spirit
Teach me dear Lord to live all of my life through your eyes
I'm captured by your Holy calling
set me apart, I know your drawing me to yourself
lead me Lord I pray
