I am in an absolute, complete state of denial! We are moving in basically three weeks, and I have done nothing. Yes, I am tying up lose ends and spending as much time with family and friends as possible, but if you look around my house you wouldn't know there is even the thought of a move going on. Now, if you look in my garage, the boxes have finally been brought down from the attic, so there are supplies ready, but that is it! I don't really know what I am waiting for. We found out today that we have temporary housing, so we know where we are going to lay our heads when we get there. I am so thankful for this rental house, but it is definitely going to be a new adventure. We are going to have one bathroom for all of us, and there is no dishwasher. Can you say, paper plates and cups? And, until today, we didn't think we were going to have a stove. I don't understand a rental house without a stove, but it seems to be a common theme. But, somehow, we are going to be able to have a stove too! So, now that I can say we have a place to live, I guess I need to start making the preparations for getting there. Usually, it doesn't take being under pressure to get me going, but maybe that is what it will take. Who knows!
This is truly an adventure that we have ahead, as we have seen with simply looking for a place to live. The other night, I was in tears and told my husband that it just shouldn't be this hard. I have had such peace in knowing that we are following God's lead on our lives, and for a split second I got in my head that thought that now, it should be easy. Of course, it isn't going to be easy. Even when you are following God completely, there are going to be hills and valleys. Just like I said with the storms we literally traveled through, we are going to travel through figurative storms too! I am going to try hard to remember it is an adventure and not storms, and as many people have said, "WE ARE MAKING MEMORIES!"
