The Journey toward Faithfulness

Faith|FULLNESS - the journey of having faith, and walking in faith brings fullness, but it's all about faith fullness to the Lord and without Him, we are nothing.

Last December, almost exactly a year and a month ago, I was lost and confused. I felt like I was failing in every area of my life, and letting everyone down in the process. Here’s what I wrote in my journal on December 16, 2015 –

I’ve come into a season of transition and change. I have no idea which direction I’m going to turn, but I feel like it’s important to start writing down the pieces of the puzzle that the Lord is giving me.

About a month ago I felt like I was having a mid-life crisis because I was looking at my life realizing I wasn’t where I thought I was supposed to be, which to me, looked like failure. I realized I was no longer the face of anti-trafficking (my husband and I helped start an anti-trafficking coalition a few years ago), because over time that has become Matt’s role. My role as a mom was changing because Malea is getting older and in the process of not understanding the transition, I felt like I was failing as a mom. I felt like everything in my life had turned upside down and that I wasn’t doing anything well (enter a lot of tears, a lot of frustration, discontentment and me finally throwing my hands up and seeking the Lord). 

Looking back I feel like it had been a long time coming, because I kept hearing the Lord calling me, but I kept walking on the path I “knew” I was supposed to be on, until I was so uncomfortable and so discontent that I had no choice but to give up. If I weren’t so stubborn, I probably wouldn’t have had to get so uncomfortable. I wonder if I’ll ever learn….?

I’m not exactly sure when/where the transition started but I feel like a big turning point was meeting and talking through all of this with my friend on December 10th. Our time opened up a conversation that lead me to look at the pieces of what’s going on, more as a puzzle, rather than my life stacking up against me. Maybe I’m not the face of anti-trafficking anymore because that’s not where God wants me. Maybe I’m not failing as a mom, I just need to ask God for wisdom and how I can best reach my daughter in this season of her life. And maybe I’m so uncomfortable where I am because I’m on the brink of something, a new season, a new dream.

This excites me and terrifies me all at the same time, because I’ve been where I’m at for so long that I don’t even know if I know how to do anything else. But maybe, just maybe the last season has set me up for the new one.

Just a few weeks after I wrote that in my journal, I was up late one night, everyone else was in bed, and God gave me a vision. At the time I felt like it was a big piece of the puzzle, I felt like in the future this vision could be another blog, or even a book someday. The vision was a title and that night I created this –

Faith|FULLNESS - the journey of having faith, and walking in faith brings fullness, but it's all about faith fullness to the Lord and without Him, we are nothing.

The word the Lord gave me to go along with the title was this –

Having faith, and walking in faith brings fullness, but it’s all about faithfulness to the Lord because without Him, we are nothing.”

After I created the title and wrote that down, God started reminding me of all the journeys I’ve been on because of saying “yes” to Him and I felt convicted to start writing those down, because I knew someday He wanted to use them.

And here we are.

A new blog filled with my stories, my heart, my dreams, my prayers and my stories of faith.

I have no idea where this journey will take me but my hope and prayer is that my stories will inspire you to go deeper with the Lord, to know Him deeper, to trust Him more and to set out on your own journeys of faith, with Him.

    Congrats, Anna, on your new blog and on following the Lord’s calling. I love the stress on faith-full-ness. I’d never thought of faithfulness that way before. I’m having a bit of an epiphany here. 🙂 After traveling through 16 very challenging months, I am deeply connecting with faith-full-ness. I look forward to walking with you through this new journey.

    Oh Anna! What a beautiful journey you have been on and one I understand oh too well. I’m there myself right now, so I could “feel” what you were saying in your words. So very proud of you for opening your heart up to what the Lord has for you next. I know whatever you put your hand to, will be glorifying to Him! You have the full support and love of the “picket fence sisters!” We love you!

    Anna, I see a line of dominoes. Your ‘yes’ to Him triggers yet another yes, triggering another yes, and the tipping of each domino is leading you to a MUCH different place than where you started!! LORD BLESS HER as this yes leads to her next yes! Unleash and reveal all the goodness You have in store for Anna Moseley!! Surely goodness and mercy will follow her all the days of her life…

If we want to live our lives the way God intended for us - a life full of true pleasure - we need to stop listening to the old tapes. We need to take back the permission we've given them to shape our identity and we need to record over those old messages with truth. | Faith-Fullness.net

I love Thanksgiving. 🦃 Even in this chaotic, I love Thanksgiving. 
🦃 
Even in this chaotic, pandemic year, we still have so much to be thankful for. Yesterday we spent the day with family, did our own 2 mile Turkey Trot, cooked all day, and then feasted all night.

I’m thankful for our home, and that we got to host our first Thanksgiving there, I’m thankful for our health and I’m thankful that we have so much to be thankful for. Blessings to you and your family this holiday weekend.💛
Eleven years of pumpkin patch adventures with this Eleven years of pumpkin patch adventures with this cutie. I can’t believe how quickly time has flown, but I love watching her grow and doing all sorts of fun adventures with our little family. 🧡🎃🧡
Meet Maverick. He’s the latest addition to our f Meet Maverick. He’s the latest addition to our family after @mmoseley15 texted me a picture of 5 kittens found at the bank this morning (scroll to the end to see). Malea is in love, and total shock, and we’ve all had lots of kitten snuggles today. The plan is to have him me an outdoor, eat the pests, kind of cat but we’ll see how snuggly he ends up being. He might just win us over and be our new favorite. #MavericktheKitten
First day of 7th grade! I am excited for Malea to First day of 7th grade! I am excited for Malea to be back at school today but I am also going to miss her. These past six months have been such a blessing from the Lord. There were definitely days we both needed our space but the majority of the time we learned and grew so much from each other, and laughed along the way. I am proud of the young woman she is becoming and I can’t wait to see how much more she grows this year.

Happy first day of school!!! (We’ll see how long it lasts).

I love the sounds, the constant crashing of the waves, my feet in the sand, watching kids be kids and running in the waves, I love everything about being at the ocean. Our first night in Trinidad was awesome, we played at the beach, saw a gorgeous sunset, celebrated a birthday, watched part of a movie, then had mom and dad time by the fire. Trailer life, mixed with ocean life, really is the best.

My happy place. We love our trailer but once a yea My happy place. We love our trailer but once a year we pack up the tent and head up to the Trinity Alps for a fun filled weekend. The last 3 days were spent unplugged, laughing harder than I have in a long time, floating in Canyon Creek with a drink in hand, hiking 8 miles to jump off a waterfall, watching the kids tube down the rapids for hours, eating amazing camp food, and generally just being so thankful God created such a beautiful place for us to enjoy. I’ve always loved camping at this spot but this year I decided it’s my happy place because every year I look forward to our few days there, our escape from reality, our peaceful slice of Heaven that we get to enjoy with friends.

The last two days of our trip were spent with my s The last two days of our trip were spent with my sister, and her family, in Truckee, CA. It was two great days of relaxing, cousin playtime, kitten snuggles/playing, ripsticking down big hills, lounging on Donner Lake, the girl’s paddle boarding and kayaking, and of course life lessons like - how to blow up your own floaty, and how to chug champagne when you’re wearing a mask😆. We are headed home today but after 2 weeks of traveling I’m not quite ready for it to end, with the exception of Boulder City, this trip has been near perfection. Now to plan, and look forward to, next summer’s big trailer trip!!! #truckeecalifornia #donnerlake #moseleyrvtrip2020
Day 10 - Bodie. Before leaving Bridgeport we heade Day 10 - Bodie. Before leaving Bridgeport we headed over to Bodie, a huge ghost town where homes, hotels, stores, and even the school have everything left in them, just as they were back in the early 1900’s. This was such a cool experience to step back in time and walk through this old mining town.

Day 9 - More from Bridgeport. We love it here, wis Day 9 - More from Bridgeport. We love it here, wish we had a couple more days to explore the surrounding beauty, watch the incredible sunsets and relax with this killer view from our trailer.

Day 9 - Bridgeport. This place has so much beauty! Day 9 - Bridgeport. This place has so much beauty! The girls played on the beach at the RV park this morning, @mmoseley15 went on a trail run, we spent a couple hours on the beaches of Twin Lakes, which is definitely one of the most stunning places we’ve been so far, then we finished off the afternoon with the girls playing in the water back at the RV park. I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this place before, this is definitely a “must come back to” stop for us! #bridgeportcalifornia #moseleyrvtrip2020.
Day 8 - More from Bridgeport. I know I posted some Day 8 - More from Bridgeport. I know I posted some yesterday but I had to share these too. This place is so beautiful! 
#bridgeportcalifornia #moseleyrvtrip2020
Day 8 - Bridgeport. We got up early and headed out Day 8 - Bridgeport. We got up early and headed out of Beatty before it could get over 90. We spent 4 hours on the road today, which was our longest since day 2, but it was so beautiful! NV to CA, back to NV, then landing in CA. We saw everything from the “Loneliest Highway”, to a bull in the middle of the road, some of the highest mountain peaks of the trip, to the stunning Lake Mead. The trip went by quickly because the views were incredible and the girls were amazing. And when we pulled into Bridgeport, it did not disappoint. 30 degrees cooler than Boulder City, incredible views of the mountains, warm swimming water for the girls, and a beautiful thunderstorm. We are looking forward to a full day of relaxing, swimming, and maybe even boating here tomorrow. And the best part is, the high is supposed to be 85 degrees. 🙌🏻

Day 7 - Beatty. This day started out as a HUGE bum Day 7 - Beatty. This day started out as a HUGE bummer. We woke up in our air conditioned hotel, only to find out that someone had stolen @mmoseley15’s mountain bike out of the back of our truck. I don’t know if you’ve ever had something stolen but it feels so violating to have your stuff taken, not to mention the cost to recoup such an expensive item. 😭 So with heavy hearts we got ready then walked down the street to have a delicious breakfast at the famous @theworldfamouscoffeecup. From there we packed up and drove to the middle of nowhere, Beatty, Nevada. Our RV park was great but still being 109, the trailer struggled. Fortunately the girls did amazing and hardly complained about the heat, instead they spent the day inside playing games and putting together puzzles. The highlight of the day was getting to visit the ghost town, Rhyolite. I’ve always wanted to visit a ghost town so even though it was hot, it was super cool.

Day 6 - Lake Mead. We did 3 states this day, leavi Day 6 - Lake Mead. We did 3 states this day, leaving Zion, then Arizona to get to Lake Mead, NV. Unfortunately this area was SO hot, 111, and the RV park had no shade, so we did a little swimming in the lake, then headed to a hotel. The hotel was nice but we weren’t able to plug our trailer in, so we lost a fridge full of food. The restaurants around our hotel were awesome though so we ate well while we were there. We also enjoyed a beautiful sunset in the historic downtown of Boulder City.
