When my husband and I were praying about our future (about 5 years ago), one of the things in the pool was going back to Coeur d'Alene, ID.<br /><br />My husband stopped by one morning in the middle of work to grab some food and we sat on the couch for a brief minute to talk. The t.v. was on in the background. Some special was on about the top places to live in the U.S., and wouldn't you know, as we sat down, they begin to talk about Coeur d'Alene. We stopped talking and stared at the t.v. The reporter looked straight at the camera and said, "So why NOT move to Coeur d'Alene." <br /><br />We looked at each other and said, "Ya, why not?" The rest is history. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222347481499259925.post-66410237474844685752010-02-20T22:11:27.269-06:002010-02-20T22:11:27.269-06:00"No says I." haha

We went through a very similar journey about 18 years ago. We were being called to leave our home state of California and move to Oklahoma. Oklahoma? Are you serious, God? This cannot be you! We spent a year in prayer. Ok, the truth is, we spent a year duking it out with the Lord. <br /><br />Finally, as we were driving in the car one day, we made the announcement to one another that the entire idea obviously was not God but was some crazy thought that had come from somewhere else. We decided to not talk about it ever again ..... maybe it would go away! I then reached over and clicked the radio on full blast. What song was playing?<br /><br />You're The Reason God Made Oklahoma<br /><br />We moved a month later.Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18000815937078399278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222347481499259925.post-15441408748262428672010-02-20T11:02:27.183-06:002010-02-20T11:02:27.183-06:00Thank you for your posting with transparency.

I just want to say thanks for sharing your journey. My husband and I (40ish too!) have been going thru some of the same "laying it ALL out on the table and God pruning and purifying as He sees fit" times. This past year as been eerily similar to your last few months. Unfortunately (or fortunately) our simultaneous decision of laying it ALL down...was followed by a horrific darkness in our lives. Satan did his very best to completely deplete us...spiritually, physically, emotionally. What a difficult, yet wonderful, time in our lives. Because God has been so very faithful and made Himself known in ways we have never experienced before. As a result, we are experiencing a more intimate relationship with each other and with HIM! AMAZING! My husband and I read your "Great Adventure" and wept as we could completely relate to a lot of what's been going on in your lives. We know, as well, that God is up to something huge in our lives...just have no idea what--yet! Can't wait to see what happens with you guys...thanks so much for sharing your gifts with us. Your music and your ability to share your spiritual journey has blessed us so much!
