...And so we prayed, we prayed some more and again we prayed!
My GORGEOUS Hubby liked the thought of travelling Australia with our GORGEOUS girl's, and he could see how AWESOME it would be to have that quality time together, BUT he wanted to KNOW that God was leading us into doing this.
We would have to leave our jobs, we would have to sell our home and leave an area we had lived in and LOVED for 8 years.
We would have to say goodbye to a church family that we have been a part of and served in for more than 5 years and of course leave our loved ones behind, both family and friends...it was a tough decision...Shane had to know it was from GOD and that GOD wanted this for the 4 of us.
So he prayed and prayed and prayed. I knew in my heart God was leading us to do this. I was SOLD! I wanted to do this for the travelling, for the family time that I longed for and for the AMAZING journey God wanted us to go on, I knew GOD wanted to use us on this journey.
I left Shane to God ( for the most part ).
Months went by and we kept praying, we finally decided on a date that we had to make our 100%, no turning back, decision.
We would go away for 1 night at a conference that we LOVE and decide that weekend.
We prayed that God would clearly show us, that the journey we were about to embark on, He was actually leading.

At this conference, God VERY CLEARLY spoke to us. If we weren't convinced before, we were convinced now. He spoke to our hearts, He spoke through the preaching, He spoke through the worship, WoooHooooo, HE spoke to us.
So we went out for dinner, we had a chat, we prayed and we made our final decision.....
God was saying to us " FOLLOW me."
So that night after months of praying, talking, seeking God, our final decision was to take a HUGE leap of Faith...And so, Our Awesome, Wonderful, Faith Led JOURNEY begins :-)
BRING IT ON!
Take Care,
