Curiosity

I've been pondering a couple questions I heard recently because they are quite deep and I like deep things:

How did God show up for you this past Summer?

and

What words are defining this Fall season for you?

The answer to the first question is way too long because Summer was way too busy and long...so I have to think about that a little more to come up with a specific answer. But for the second one, I'd have to say that one of the main words that immediately comes to mind is curiosity. I know, it's not the deepest answer I could come up with, but it's how I currently feel.

I'm curious to see what it will be like to have a little girl around... to have two kids around! I'm curious to see how I'm going to ever take a shower again after said second child comes along! I'm curious to see what our path looks like around the bend, because I feel there's a bend coming. I'm curious about how God will provide resources, opportunities, blessings as we possibly embark into the life of a med-school-student family. I'm curious about what our family life will be like....most of all I'm curious about how God will teach me to be the wife and mom I'm supposed to be when I have never seen this (medical) lifestyle exemplified first hand.

Curiosity, however, doesn't have to be a lack of faith. It's actually the best type of faith...like a child; an expectancy of all the awesome things God will show us and take us through. At this point, I have no idea how it will all unfold, but I'm confident that He has it all planned out. And it is a huge step of faith for a planner-list-maker like me to put down my calendar and my pen and let Someone else make our plans... specially when they are not in the habit of letting you know what the plan is! :)

This is why life is an adventure and we would be bored if it wasn't.
