Happy, Scared, Happy, Worried, Happy, Happy, Happy

As I think is normal with all transitions and decisions, I'm a little nervous, worried, & scared.  In the realm of things, they are not big issues that I'm dealing with, but none-the-less my stomach gets in knots sometimes.  Most of what I worry about has to do with housing- our 2 houses that we left behind and our current housing situation.  


There are tons of decisions- some of which hinder on other decisions- and often times it makes my head spin.  But I am SO grateful to have housing.  I realize I am very fortunate and I do not take that for granted (although it's not the "I won this" type of fortunate, it's the "I've made choices" type of fortunate.... a post in and unto itself.).


A decision that has already been made and solidified is our stay in our dream city.  And for that I smile and do a happy dance!  For the other decisions, I will pray and listen.  I will research and think.  I will pray and trust.  In due time it will become clear and things will change.  I will embrace the changes as part of life.  I will give thanks.  I will remain joyous.  I will remain open.

I read this passage recently & it resonated with me.  I think it aptly applies.

"The Lord will fight for you; 

you need only to be still." 

(Exodus 14:14) 


as well as this one:
"Peace I leave with you.  
My peace I give to you.  
I do not give to you as the world gives.  
Do not let your hearts be troubled 
and do not be afraid."
(John 14:27)

I look at this beautiful child

& that joyful smile, and my fears melt away. 

My constant reminder of God.
