Moving......

"We are moving!" I had no idea what those three words would mean to my family. The kids were excited at first~ new home, new town, new life. My husband and I were very excited at what moving meant. It meant that I would be home more, we hoped. I was traveling so much after my promotion that my family did not see me a lot during the week. Moving would mean I would not have to travel overnight as much which meant more time at the house. I had no clue how it would impact our lives. Our families were excited for us and at the same time hated to see us leave. After a lot of prayer, we knew that God was leading us to Nashville. Jeff found a job rather quickly at a local bank and off we went to discover whatever God had in store for our family. Funny how you think that if it is God's will to do something, that everything will be smooth sailing without storms. I have a good friend that has to keep reminding me that God would not lead us here only to leave us and that just because we have times that it feels like we are in a valley, His hand is still at work in our lives. Over the last six months, it has been challenging to say the least. We are still in an apartment which seems to be closing in at times. Our son has had issues adjusting to the move while our daughter sees it as a never-ending adventure. Finding a church home has been a challenge to us as we were so rooted in the church that we left behind, BUT God is good in the challenging times as well. I am home more which means I think I am supposed to be cooking more which is kind of funny because I really can't cook. Our family is forced to spend more time together. The apartment is not big enough to hide from each other! We have all cried together because we miss our friends and prayed together that we would just make it through the next day. We are clinging more to each other and to the Lord, which is never a bad thing. So we take it one day at a time and look forward to what is coming next....
