Moving Day...again???

I think I could find some sort of spiritual meaning out of everything. I don't know if it's right or not, but it's a peaceful thing for me anyways. Like this weather...I love it. I don't really like it when the kids want to play outside, because they can't, but I just think there is something so cleansing and peaceful about rain. I love to watch the lightening and clouds move, it just has God and his power written all over it. It helps me to feel even closer to God.

I am packing today. I decided to take the day off and get everything ready for tomorrow. This really will be an easy move, because I don't have to clean out anything. I already did that the first time I moved. So I am just putting things in boxes.

I have a lot on my mind. I have tried to write, but it's just not coming out the way I want it to, or it's just hard for me to talk about. I am doing good, I am just trying to focus on today...and not borrow trouble from tomorrow. It's funny, I changed the name of my blog about 9 months ago I guess. It was definately before all of the new events of my life happened, but I find myself saying, "take it one day at a time" so often now. It is really how I have had to learn to live. And I know that is what God wants. There isn't any good in worrying about tomorrow, because what good will it do? I just need to take it to God and know that He will take care of me. I need to focus on what I am doing right now, and how God is working in this moment. And He is working.

And it's still okay for me to be sad. Sometimes I get onto myself, because I get sad and I just wish I could snap out of it. But as I've learned it is okay, and it is good. I just need to make sure I crawl up into God's lap when I am sad, and let Him comfort me. And really, as frustrated as I may get with myself, I am glad that I feel things. There are a lot of people in this world that just don't feel anything. They are so cold and dead on the inside that they wouldn't know a feeling if it hit them in the face!

In my divorce care group I learned that for most people it takes 1 year of healing for every 4 1/2 years you were married. So I have a little over a year before I'll be through the brunt of this, according to experts. We talked about new relationships at our last meeting. And of course someday I would like to be married again, but that is just crazy to think about right now. At my one year point I will have a 6 month old. I know the men are going to be lining up! But one thing I did hear that gave me hope was from a minister. He said, "God knows where your mate is, so I guess you better get to where God is." I thought that was interesting. I don't know, it's kind of wierd to even talk about. My priority is my kids, and making sure they're healthy and happy and good, christian kids...so I don't want anything getting in the way of that!

Anyways, well I better get around here and get some more packing done. Have a good weekend!

I hope the move is smooth and the weather doesn't pose many problems. I, too, love the weather!

Your prince is out there and God has him already picked out and will reveal him at the perfect time.

As Lee and I are learning in our couples Bible study...God creates us with a need for companionship and there is nothing wrong in your hoping for your future and a future mate.

You are a wonderful godly mother and God will bless all your efforts.
