Moving Along with the Move, Trusting God
My sister has been coming over to help me with organizing and pitching things out and laundry . Very grateful for her help. I couldn't sleep last night. My anxiety came roaring back like it likes to do sometimes. I should have gotten out of bed and taken something else to help me sleep but I didn't. Sometimes I just wonder if all of this is really going to happen: getting our house in order to sell, selling it, actually raising enough support to begin working for MCYM, packing up the house, moving, living off of much less than we had been used to before he lost his Navy job. So many mountains. I don't know what I would do without the promises of God, without His grace and forgiveness and forbearance towards me, towards us. I don't think I have faced bigger obstacles than what is ahead of me in a very, very long time. A real Red Sea to be parted and to walk through, and then a desert to cross before we hit the promised land so to speak. God never promises us a life without trial and hardship. He promises to be with us through them and to use those trials to purify our hearts, and to glorify Himself in our lives, and to give us adventures of which we never dreamed, completely impossible apart from Him. We can raise a fist and blame Him for our trials, or humbly say yes to the adventure that sometimes looks like suffering and receive blessing in the midst of pain. He is our great blessing, our shield, our very great reward. Genesis 15:1.
