God is not always logical

A few months back Tom & I attended a conference where the main speaker was a guy by the name of Graham Cooke. I've been listening to his teachings for about 10 yrs. now & they have been life changing. He is into the prophetic but most of all is REALLY big on character & talks alot about how God uses trials to mold us into his image. Anyway, at this last conference he talked about how God doesn't always call us to do the logical thing but often our logical mind can get in the way of what he wants to do. He also talked about how in this coming year many of us would be called to do things that didn't seem to logical. I've been thinking about this & it is definitely fitting for Tom & I right now. If you think about it, it doesn't seem too logical that we would work so hard to get where we are, training & planting a church & leave it all to become Catholic. In the natural world it doesn't make much sense but I have complete peace that we are in God's will.

Another area I have been sorta wrestling w/ God about is the area of more children. Logically it makes no sense that I would be willing to put my body or my family through another pregnancy. In fact I dread the thought of it! Even though God saw me through them & got me to term he allowed me to suffer & I was quite misserable! I feel pretty confident however that there are at least one or two more little Ponchaks in the future. I guess 9 months is nothing compared to a new life that will go on to live into eternity though. We'll see what happens....
