Crazy Ramblings and a change in the wind!

Today has been a strange, long day (heck, the last couple of days have been crazy. And here I was thinking I could rest). We started off the morning by looking at a car. Marc was tired of paying for a rental car so we decided since Nicki needed a car we might as well look for a second car since we were not having any luck finding our dream car yet (it also gives us a chance to really look instead of just settling for new car we wouldn't really want). Then we left for a friends retirement service, set at a chapel for over an hour only to find out Marc had the wrong date and time! After that we went to DMV got the title on the car and went and got Nicki from home so that she could try it out (she blew her engine in her car last summer). After we returned the rental car (bye bye PT Cruiser) Nicki and I hopped in the car so that she could take me to my aunts home so that I could go with her and one of our friends to the ministers wives meeting (which we were an hour late for because someone gave us the wrong time). Now I am back at home (in my pj's) trying to chill. Unfortunately that is not what has happened. My head is full of thoughts and I feel like I am spinning out of control.

Last night we had a chance to meet some missionaries from India. Please keep this country in your thoughts and prayers. We also have a friend who is leaving in a few weeks for India for two weeks. For some reason India is just sticking out as a place Marc and I need to be praying for and I have also asked him if we can sponsor the family in some way. I recently read the book by Kay Warren called Dangerous Surrender. At the time I was not sure how it would effect me, but in the last few months I have been dealing with a lot of changes, including my families role in ministry. For some reason I believe God is calling for a change in our life (and I not just talking about the new church). What that change is I do not know, I just know the same old, same old....just won't do. Maybe it has to do with the coming new year. Maybe its the fact that this time last year Marc was laying in a hospital bed and we didn't have a clue what the future would hold. Maybe there is no explanation accept for God trying to get my attention. Have you ever felt like there was a change coming and you couldn't put your finger on it...you just new it was big?
Now if none of this made a bit of sense, well charge it to my head (lol). That and the fact that I am bone tired.
