Believe...and You'll See

I'm a firm believer that all things happen for a reason. Even the bad things.

I sometimes regret that I didn't meet Calvin sooner and that we didn't start our lives together at an earlier age. But we wouldn't have been in the same places at the same time if things hadn't happened the way they did.

I feel that way about Utah.

I knew the Lord brought us here for a reason. Calvin has been challenged at work for a reason. And that reason is so that he could gain the experience to continue in this field. To make more contacts and be prepared to move on....somewhere else.

My chance meeting with Monica in a hallway at the Comfort Inn was not by chance. God planned it so that we would become friends and support one another during this trying time.

And Brother Horton....yes, he has a purpose too. To teach me to say NO!

I know that living away from family has brought Calvin and I closer together and that we are a better family for it. We have to depend on each other more than we would have if we were still living in Denver.

I wanted to live in a new place and I did. That's not to say that there aren't other places I wouldn't love to live and experience but I'm ready to go home.

My Aunt Faith was here on her way to Montana on Wednesday and we talked about our plans for the future (she also wants to move to Colorado). Before she left, she prayed with me that the Lord would provide an opportunity in Colorado so that we could go home.

Of course, everything hinges on a job. Either trying to keep the one he has and staying here with frequent visits to Colorado or finding one there. The situation with Calvin's job shows no signs of improvement so I picked up the pace on my plan to get us home and I was becoming frustrated. I could feel the panic beginning to take hold of my heart and it didn't feel good.

Then yesterday, I saw a tweet from @MillionMommyND that immediately changed my attitude and calmed me:

Seeing is believeing...NOT. Believe and then you'll see!

You may also know that I believe in signs and fate and kismet! I didn't want to get out of bed this morning for my walk but I wanted to talk to Jesus and that is my best time to clear my head of things that are bothering me.

I was just telling him that I was putting this all in hands because I needed help when a song came on my iPod that was a sign from God! I was so inspired that I ran for 75 feet! Believe! and you'll See the SIGN!

Gotta make a move to a
Town that's right for me
Town to keep me movin'
Keep me groovin' with some energy

Well, I talk about it
Talk about it
Talk about it
Talk about it
Talk about, Talk about
Talk about movin

Gotta move on
Gotta move on
Gotta move on

Won't you take me to
Funkytown
Won't you take me to
Funkytown
Won't you take me to
Funkytown
Won't you take me to
Funkytown

On a side note....Sego Lily Spa did not pick me to be a finalist in their blogging contest. I'm disappointed but I know that this also happened for a reason....and it's the reason why I can't live here anymore.
