Jeremiah 29:11
(KJV)
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
I love old churches made into homes. If you google ~"churches made into homes" you will see some beautiful homes. I love to see something no longer useable have a new purpose. A once abandoned structure that no was longer viable ~yet someone was able to see promise and a new purpose. And let me tell you there are some that are just beautiful.
If structures can find new life and purpose ~why not people? There where men in the Bible whose lives took on a different purpose after they met the Lord. Like Jacob ~when he wrestled against the angel. Moses when he talked to the burning bush. And Paul who was temporarily blinded. Their stories were all different but they all had a change of purpose when they encountered the Lord~ and God sent them down a different path.
Circumstances change the course of our lives. I have just about worked myself out of a job as a "Homeschool Mom" and a "Momma" in general. I will always be a "Mom" but the purpose is changing~ a time of letting go instead of "mothering". As I see my life changing I also have to believe that God has a new purpose for my life. God reminds us~ that He loved us before we loved Him. He wants to give us a hope and and a future because He loves us.
As I cling to God's promises ~ I am praying for Him to reveal a new direction and purpose in my life. As we follow Him~ we can believe that He will direct in the paths that we need to go.
