Unexpected Life

Unexpected life. How it unfolds. God's plans always take place before my own can unravel. The thing we chased after for so many years seems to be the thing that is confusing us on direction. Could we live without?

That is Unexpected life.

Unexpected life was becoming a mother. Finding my place in that world of this little human. Seeing my heart on the outside of of my chest in this little Bella. Growing, exploring, laughing, smiling, loving, learning,snuggling, being that "Bella Hope" that God spoke she would be to so many.

That is unexpected life.

Unexpected life is finding an answered prayer come to play by God giving me friendships that I have longed for. For many years.

That is unexpected life.

Unexpected life is being more in love with the man I married then ever before. Tho, many told us that it wasn't going to be that way. And we found out quickly Marriage is work. The enemy has tried many time to break us up and the plan God has for our family. We persevere, he will not win! I love that man more then anyone else on this earth. He has showed me how to love, trust, forgive.

That is unexpected life.

Unexpected life is wanting adventure. This year is unexpected. How will it unfold? I long to leave all my security behind. Pack up my family and go. Go where? Where ever the Lord Tells us. London, Florida, New York, Italy, Cali?? Or is My Adventure in the lives of the Amazing Teens in Nashville, Indiana. My Heart Loves those teens. How they love God, how they shine with love. How they encourage me.
Where will this year take the Smith Family. I am not sure.

That is life unexpected.

Life unexpected it wanting that "normal" life. Home, husband, Love, Children, more love. Seeing my children grow up in the same place I grew up. Having my children surrounded by our families. Seeing them run in the woods and knowing there safe. Why is my heart torn between adventure of traveling and adventure of a home full of the noise's children make?? I am not sure. Where will this year take the Smith Family?? Again, I am not sure.

That is Life unexpected.

Life unexpected is life and death. Life is Precious. Death is always unexpected.

That is life unexpected.

Life unexpected is what I am passionate about. Tho, at times Life is a bit overwhelming, a bit routine, heart breaking. But Life unexpected is also always joyful, loving , exciting because life unexpected is life unknown. It's trusting in a higher power, God, for the future of my life my family. I give my unexpected life to him. Trusting he will make it all he promised for my family.

I am passionate about Life Unexpected.

That is life Unexpected....
