"Am I walking so close to God that people want to walk in my shadow"

Yes, I have fallen off the edge of the world

Much has happened and continues to happen in my life.
In February my husband applied for a transfer.
In March it went through.
In April he moved in with my brother and his wife and started his new job.
The middle of May Mountain Man headed west again for the summer
and my daughter and I moved into my brothers to be with Steve.
Sometime in June our house is supposed to close that we are buying
and we will quickly work on the remodel that needs done
before we move in.  The rest will happen over time.
Last weekend we loaded a 26' truck with the farm stuff.
We were able to bring all the animals except Prince who
refused to load and after almost 2 hours of that nonsense we
left him in the pasture with water and the neighbors promise to check on him.
My dad was driving the U-haul, Steve was pulling the horse trailer,
MM had his trooper loaded and mom and I were loaded in my big honking car.
About an hour down the road MM has car trouble and long story short has
to leave it for the tow truck to pick up.  We unload his trooper into the
stall that Prince was supposed to be in (do you think that's why he wouldn't load)
and continue on our way arriving 5 hours later than schedule
The next day MM's trooper is fixed and we head back to get it.
He makes it to the mountains without any trouble and we are
praising God that the problem happened the way it did and not on his way
to the mountains.
Steve, Sarah and one of MM's friends headed back today to load that horse.
This is move number 17 in almost 31 years for us.  I'm good at throwing things
in a box but moving a farm AND a household is not fun.
We will no longer be country mice.  We bought a house on the edge of town.
When we stand at the end of the driveway we can see a wheat field across
the highway...sigh.  It has been 14 years since we've lived in town.
 Sarah has no recall of what it is like. 
Her horses will have to stay 20 minutes away at my parents.
In the beginning this move was rating as the second hardest I've ever made.
It has now climbed to the top of the chart as the most difficult
I won't whine to you with all the details but I would ask for prayer
if we cross your mind (especially for Sarah)
that details and emotions will come together for us.
I have walked with my Lord enough years to know that everything will work out.  It's just walking through it all.
Major Quote:  Even when life is not great God is.

Wow those are a lot of changes. I am not big on change, I have had so much in my life and I think I am ready for the same o - same o life. I am sure you will look back and see God moved you just where he wanted you to go. And even it takes a while, anything that draws us to Jesus is a blessing. I will pray for peace for all of you.

Moving is not fun!

I have moved 19 times in 25 years and I concur with you that moving is not fun and is very difficult. I will pray for you. I'm so sorry you have to leave your farm! It has to be difficult. I will believe that God is up to something good for you. i hope Sarah will be able to believe that, too.

You are in my prayers! Post pictures on your new place. I am like you -- I live on the edge of town. There is a corn field next to my house, but right across from it is an apartment complex. Yuck. But I know God has me here for a purpose and I am just thankful to have a roof over my head.

I'm sending you warm hugs.

Hey! I'm catching up on my blog reading this weekend. I hope by now that God has been helping you adjust with this latest move. I have lived in the same city for over 20 years now and only changed homes once during that time. I can't imagine what you're going through but will send up some prayers for you anyway.

I have read with great interest your posts on your migraines. My dh suffers terribly from migraines. He's taken so many things for them. I think I'm going to try what you did to see if it makes any difference for him. I may try it myself to see if it affects my fatigue. Thanks for sharing all that. Now that it's been a couple of months, how has it been going? Are you still migraine free? Has it gotten any easier to shop and prepare meals? That is my biggest obstacle. But it's probably one that can be overcome with God's help.
