If you haven’t read my previous post (Waiting For Test Results), I’d highly recommend going and reading that before this one. This post may not make much sense without the context of that one. For those looking for updates on Angela, it depends on the day. Some days are good, some are not. We are currently trying to get some medicine adjusted to see if that helps. To add some fun to our life, Addie fractured one of her toes last week.

Waiting On Test Results
I haven’t posted much in the past month. It wasn’t just because of the business of the Christmas season. Life hit hard around Thanksgiving and it’s been a process recovering. I made a decision long ago that I was going to be real on my blog. I don’t want to just post “good Christian thoughts” just to post them. I want it to be real and transparent and give an accurate picture of the journey I am on. I haven’t quite known how to articulate what has been going on, and honestly I haven’t had the desire to figure it out.

Today’s post is a guest post by Angela. You can look forward to seeing a post from her about once a month.
It’s been about a year since I’ve officially launched my business, eight38 Designs. My prayer has always been that God would use it however He wants. I’ve tried to view eight38 as a ministry more than a business. Now this doesn’t mean I don’t want to generate income through it (of course I want to do that), but I want God’s love to be communicated through all that I do.

Normally when we think of the phrase “in over our head” it has a bad connotation. Typically that means we are at the place where we don’t have complete control and don’t know everything that is going on. I remember feeling like this when we brought Zeke home for the first time. At the hospital, we had everything we needed. We had people checking on us and making sure we were doing everything right. If we needed a break, we could pass Zeke off to someone else to give us a minute to breathe.

As I am on this journey to grow in my relationship with God, one thing has been made very clear to me. Simply going through what I deem to be the steps to get closer to God doesn’t guarantee anything. I can ready my Bible, pray, and go to church and still miss out on so many things God has for me.

There is a passage in Mark 11 that is very well-known and often quoted to build up faith. It is where Jesus talks about if you have faith you can throw a mountain into a sea. I’m sure it’s been used at youth conferences and summer camps with a song that has amazing hand motions. There are probably t-shirts based on that passage that used to be sold at Lifeway (too soon?) that ripped off some outdoor company’s style.
