“Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up;
do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.
This is a Scripture that God gave me back in 2007 when our church split. It was such a hard time. My church family meant a lot to me and to see us split like that was heartbreaking. We made it through that. God did bring some new things in my life. There was Seminary and I was working almost full time.
Then I fell.
It's been almost 2 years that we've been going through this. Trying to recover from the fall. Problem is we, Troy and I, have been expecting things to go back to what they were. It's not going to happen. The past is gone. God is doing a new thing. Things are changing, I have changed.
Biggest change, of course, is the new life in our family. Little Emma, big impact! Such a joy! Her brothers love her, her daddy loves her and I just adore her. She may not have been planned by us, but she was God given. She has brought a lot of healing to our family.
Time to figure out who Nickie is now. Wife, mother, daughter, Christian...check check check check...
What's my purpose now? What's God's plan now that I'm on another path? Would love to get back in to school. Ministry? I don't know...
Ok, God. Let's see what happens.
