I live in "Limbo" Michigan

Hi there.
Im Kelli. in real life
I live with my husband and toddler son in "Limbo" Michigan.
Where's "limbo" you ask?
Somewhere between here and there....a and z....was and will be.
We've lived here for about 2 years now.
We've learned a lot of lessons while living here. Thought we knew God pretty well 2 years ago. But now; we know Him in a whole new way. We've been through 2 unexpected layoffs, sickness, financial issues, and a miscarriage. Through all this, we've learned to depend on God completely.

See, the problem is, we've outgrown "limbo".
Although we love our church and our friends dearly, we know this isn't the "last stop" for us. We were created with many talents and passions. I'm a worship leader and youth mentor at heart, and my husband is a minstrel/musician and tekkie to the bone. We knew even before we married that God had called us to a life of ministry involving our local church, and even the christian music scene. We've got this burning desire to lead the young people of today into a better understanding of God and His presence through music ministry and mentorship. Every day we're in "limbo", we feel like we're losing a bit ourselves.

Stagnant.

Bored.

in "limbo".

Our prayer is that the same God who gave us these gifts will make a way for us to leave "limbo" and move to "Destiny", USA. We dream of "Destiny". Never been there, but we've seen pictures, glimpses, and heard stories from others who live there.

If you've got a minute please pray with us.

We'll be sure to let you know when our address changes.

I will be praying with you.
I can see that your new journal will come in handy.

I've been in purgatory, I mean limbo, for a while too. I was a youth pastor out of college, then through a lot of drama we left the church and moved to Michigan to be closer to my wifes side of the family. So, for almost 3 years I've been dreaming, writing, thinking and longing for what's next. Still don't know but we do have some glimpses of what it may be.

I'll be praying for you too.

Hmmm, I will pray for you about this. However, while reading this...I couldn't help think about the giant hole we have in our church right now. UCM keeps coming to the forefront of my thoughts especially, after this little bit you wrote.

"We were created with many talents and passions. I'm a worship leader and youth mentor at heart, and my husband is a minstrel/musician and tekkie to the bone."

Those kids reqire all you have to offer and maybe more but, I can't see why if that might be the place for you, why GOD would not equip you and your husband for the task. Who knows...just gotta pray about it.

Much Love,
Joie

@ Sally--thank you for the prayers.

@ Kevin--Its good to know someone understands. I'll be praying for you and your family as well.

@ Joie--I've been checking out the UCM services lately. I'm all for being wherever God wants us to be, even if it means staying here. I just want to be "actively pursuing what He's called me to do"...not just sitting on the sidelines waiting for change to come. so appreciate your prayers Joie. God bless you

Hi Kelli,

I've certainly been there more than a few times in my life, "Lodebar". I've already prayed for you and your family to connect to the right place at the right time. I know no matter how far you may be off from the Master's plan, as long as you keep your hand in His, He'll get you back on track. Be Blessed!
