Back to our lives..

Since the campaign has come to a screeching halt....the Helton home has gotten back to our normal.

I have actually cooked several times this week. We have gotten to hold hands around the dinner table and pray. We have just soaked up sweet time together.

So many people have come up to me and encouraged us to run again. I have just smiled.

Don't get me wrong.

It was a worthwhile experience.

It was rewarding and character building in so many ways.

But, we would never just assume that God has this for us to do again.

He guided our paths to do it this time. Maybe He will open doors in the future. But I can't possibly know that now. We are taking each day as it comes. We're doing our best to be good stewards of the time that God has given us right now to be good friends and neighbors to those around us.

Above any political position, we are people of faith.

I believe with everything in me that God has a purpose for our family. We are no different from any other family who walks with the Lord. He places us here on this earth to bring glory to Him.

I also believe that God has gifted Shep as an amazing speaker. He moves people because he is so passionate and transparent. That gift will not go unused or unnoticed by others. God is in the business of using ordinary folks to bring Him fame. I can't wait to see how He uses us in the future.

Til then please pray for us.

We still strongly believe God wants us to believe Him for Caroline's healing.

We need to see Him come through in some supernatural ways in other areas of our life.

We would love to know why He wanted us to run for this State Representative race.

So far....it feels like we step but for Him but don't get the expected result from Him.

That is ok.

We will wait.
We will keep trusting.
We will keep believing.

He is our portion. He is enough!
