Church was so awesome this morning. We wrapped up the Jonah series, those messages helped me so much. Just a few months ago I was Jonah. God had a calling on our lives and I wanted nothing to do with it because it meant living in Redding away from everything I was comfortable with. Its amazing what God will do though when you do finally give it all to him. Just like Jonah my family has become so blessed since we started giving God control.

I am a crazy control freak, I have serious trust issues, so giving up everything to God was always so hard for me. Trusting him with my finances, a place to live, friends, moving, a new church, everything took some time. Now that I have given it all to him, life is blissful. We stepped out of our shell to start doing the jr. high and because of that, I have the most amazing friend that I had been searching for since we moved here. :) She has been so great to my family and it feels so nice to have a friend that I made all by myself. 

We will still have our struggles, but I know can say that I can completely trust that God will take care of us. I know that no matter what life brings he will be there to catch us. I know our calling is to be part of Jr. High, and from there we may find even more things, but this is where we need to be and it finally feels right. 

Friends I encourage you to find your calling, no matter what it may be, God has plans for each and every one of you. We need to be his disciple and make disciples. Put your complete trust in him, because when you do you will have such JOY!
