Leading

Ok I have not posted pictures the last two days because I have been either very busy or I am having technical difficulties. So pics are coming soon.

The first two days I really didn't enjoy. The third day was my breaking point. After talking with a friend and talking things out I realized I don't like to lead. I'm not a leader...I never have been. I have always been someone who will make my own decisions but will not make it for others. You may think "well you lead your children", but that is not all that true. When living in California we had a routine. We all knew what to do. We got up and either went to school or work. Saturdays were "movie days" and Sunday was church. We all knew what to do and what was expected of us. But now....

I struggled with the new role. I didn't want it and I told the Lord how uncomfortable it was. But God has showed me that He truly is leading me...I'm just the first one in line to follow on this journey.

Before getting back on the road my friend said for me to live in the moment. It was just what I needed to hear...what I needed to be reminded of. The remainder of the trip yesterday was...fun! I enjoyed the view and sang to the music, car danced and took pics along the way. We passed through Wyoming and into South Dakota...all I could think about as I was enjoying the beauty of these states was that it truly is God's country. What beauty before me!!

I was reading up on my Facebook acct this morning and Sister Maria had posted something that blessed me, this is what she posted:
When you say YES to God's call, you can't expect instant revelations of His plan. You enter a life of learning to listen, praying for guidance, trusting step by step, seeking His will and learning to rely on the Holy Spirit.
