Dreading, yet blessed!


I dread what is coming...people tell me I should be use to it, No big deal. After all I've done it over 30 times in my life. The dreadful word move. That's right I have moved more times than my age! We aren't only moving, but going through and "purging" all of our "stuff". How in the world did we accumulate so much stuff in 5 years of marriage! Is it possible? I have Two weeks to go through, pack all our stuff, and clean our apartment! Then we leave for a long trip to Florida! (This is only a Trip we are moving to another house in Jackson!) The only word that comes to mind is INsANitY! But then I stop and think of my loving savior who has provided a place for us to move that will help us with more space to build more relationships, and save money. In the end the outcome will be so much better! I admit, we are procrastinators, so the thought of having to go through everything now is much better than right before we leave! We serve an awesome God. He knows what is best for us and how we can further the Gospel. Jim and I have been reading through Philippians. Paul is such an inspiration to me. I have to say it is my favorite book of the Bible. A book of encouragement, joy, and suffering. I challenge you to take some time and read through the book of Philippians! Don't just read it to read, but really stop and think...what was going on, what was Paul thinking!
We hope you have a wonderful day. Sorry, it may be a while before I get back to post!

You're moving to Florida? Wow, I had no idea. I haven't had time to read the news in the email yet. I guess I've got some reading to do. Looks like God is working in your hearts and lives!
