The Blank Page.

So here it is.  Another blank page.  What I choose to write here creates the whole entire feel for the blog for this entry!  Oh, what to write! What to say?

Here I am.  It's 4:15 am on Thursday, October 10th.  I am very tired, but I can't sleep.  I know why.  There are so many thoughts and feelings churning around in my head that it's virtually impossible for me to get good rest right now.  I am trying, but it's very difficult.  Why? Because I'm looking out on the pages of my life.  There are many chapters, even books that are written and published.  But what is daunting now is the fact that there are many chapters wishing to be written and that remain blank pages looming out in the distant future, just begging to be written.  My heart is with these pages but is unsure how to start writing words on them.

Are these pages able to be written on?  Will I choose the right words?  Will the focus be correct?  What about work? What about starting a family?  What about focus of career?  What about placement for a fulfilling life?  Will all these words and ideas and thoughts become one amazing masterpiece that flows together with ease and creating the piece of work that is desired?

This is my life right now.  There are so many things that are looming in the distant future.   There are many things I do know.  One is that I have the MOST amazing man in my life and I would do anything for him, for us; to create the life we desire to have for our children.   We are so excited to settle and start writing on these pages!  We need some guidance from the Ultimate Author to help us form the best focus, pick the best words and ultimately set up the best possible scenerio for us in this next chapter of our lives together. 

We are very similar in the fact that we both love people.  We are free, throw your hair in the wind kinda personalities.  We need and thrive on adventure.  We need deep friendships around us.  We need a thriving church to plug into.  We need a place we are proud to call home.  We need sunshine in our face, rain puddles to jump in, snow to fall on our face, and leaves to crunch.  We need nature.  We need God's guidance no matter where we end up.  We need family around us and close enough to pop by for a quick coffee or sharing extra dinner portions.  We need more greenery around us than concrete.  We need a place where extra time is not spent sitting in traffic on a highway, but in experiencing the hidden treasures Colorado has to offer.  The list goes on, but when it comes down to it, we just need HOME. 
As we are in pursuit of home, would you please pray for us?  We desperately need God's guidance, wisdom, open doors, and favor as we settle into where He has us to be.  Our trust is that He has ultimately placed the desires in our heart we have there for a reason.   We are willing and ready, just need to know some of the thing to write down in our book.  :)

Will you ask God to help us write the next chapter of our life together and make our blank pages the best book we can all write together?  Our pens are ready to write.  Let's use up this ink...We are trusting and having faith that He's got this as we do our homework and prepare all we can for the next step of our lives together.
