Wow...there's nothing like moving to make you realize how much stuff we accumulate over the years! It has been quite an emotional time for me. Not only because we are leaving the place that we have called home for the last nine years, but because as I am packing, I find myself taking a trip down memory lane. Packing photo albums should be a quick thing right? Not for me, I guess. I can't help but take a peek....how did my kids grow so fast? I miss all my little babies. My "little" babies are going to be 12, 11, 9, and 6 this year! Wow...that went by so quickly.
But I am looking forward to God fulfilling His plan for our family and for my kids. They have such a love for their Savior for which I am so very grateful. Even though I cannot guarantee that they always will, I know that I can always trust my Lord. And I will never cease to do my part in pointing them to Christ.

I got very nostalgic too when we were packing our stuff a few weeks ago. Funny how that happens when you move!
ReplyDeleteI think I need to pretend that we're moving and act accordingly because YOU ARE RIGHT - there is nothing like moving to show you what you've accumulated! I know we need to lighten our load moving or not! While trying to put myself in your place it's funny how I feel I can't quite relate even with my being a military brat and moving around while growing up. My husband and I have now been in the home we're in for nine years now too and you've got me thinking how different moving is or would be for me now as a mom with four children and all the memories. It would be emotional, I'm sure! But then how exciting to follow God's path for your family! I look so forward to hearing of God's plans and provisions for your sweet family! Press on friend! :)
