Detour

I was inspired to start this blogspot after reading a few blogs from some very sweet, precious people in my life. I can admit that in the past I have always been so focused on helping others and providing for others that I have forgotten about my own family.

I can get so focused and passionate about making a change and taking a stand - and that's wonderful and all - but not at the risk of neglecting my family. I need to find balance and have been seeking balance for quite some time. In my defense... I'm doing a lot better :o)

Anyway- I thought another good start would be to stop talking about myself all the time and share the journey of my family as a whole while HOPEFULLY shining the light of Christ.

As some of you know - I was recently let go from my job due to an elimintaion of my position. I was out of work for 7 months with Trinity, returned to work for less than 2 months, and am now out of work again.

I really feel that God hit the reset button and I am grateful. I feel in my spirit that my prior position was a wrong turn and now God has provided the detour.

Someone asked me today at church "So what are you going to do now?" and my response was "I have no clue... but I am going to wait on the Lord." ... and I am.

The Poynter family is happy where we are - we trust that God will provide ... we KNOW that God will provide just as He always has.

Tony and I are stoked to start The Discipleship Journey with our church. We believe that our relationships with Christ are going to flourish and we are going to discover things about ourselves that will blow our minds! We are ready for spiritual heart surgery.

We find ourselves having many conversations about being still and waiting on the Lord - and this is what is totally speaking to my heart right now:

Psalm 27:13-14

I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.

We are waiting... joyfully waiting!

Shine Bright,

April
