We Are Here

We have moved....our new adventure has begun! As I type this, we are still surrounded by boxes and minor chaos. There is still so much to do and so many boxes to put away. Getting use to a new city is no easy matter. It's been a little unnerving trying to find where we need to go, and overwhelming with how many places there are to go to. For the most part we have just been hunkered down unpacking. I am looking forward to next week when we will have a normal routine and school will start. I feel like life will start to move again then.

I was really worried about Brody's new school, worried that it wouldn't be a good fit. It's hard to go from a school you chose, to one where you are zoned. God has constantly reminded me that He sent me here and He would take care of my worries. And so I walked nervously into a meeting I had set up with the principal, but was put at ease once I realized what I was walking into. God knows my worries and my cries and He will provide. After the meeting I felt so much better and my heart knows that it's going to be okay.

Nothing is easy, not even walking into God's open door. But I have promised myself that no matter how lonely or frustrated I feel, I will have a good attitude. I will make it work. I will be thankful for what has been given. And even though our finances are as tight as ever right now, I know that it all has a purpose. That this exact time is meant to strengthen us in whatever ways God sees fit. And until then, I sit in a beautiful house in the midst of circumstances that cannot be described as luck, but more an answer to prayers.
