Oct. 29, 2005 - At peace with MOVING

Its been a crazy week here.  After conquering the vicious beast of depression, fear, resistance once again... God has brought me a great sense of peace about leaving this house. 

I was completely taken aback by the sudden change of mind by our landlord, and his decision to sell this house.  I was thoroughly stressed out when we found that we were not going to be able to buy it either.  Nothing seemed to be going our way, and I was not handling it well.

Anyway, after a few weeks of not sleeping well, resisting any idea of moving, settling into a pretty serious depression before I realized it... I finally spilled my heart to my homeschool support group... and was refreshed with the wonderful support and spiritual kick in the pants I needed:)  I just love these women that God brought into my life.

So ~ now we're on the lookout for our God-given-miracle-house that we'll be moving into before the end of the year.  I feel more at peace about (yet another) big change in our lives, and feel pretty settled that it is the right move to make... and it will be the last for a bit (as far as our home).

It's amazing how quickly the "depression" lifted once I stopped resisting, stopped worrying... and just handed it over to God.  I was telling a new friend about it this morning and the vision of Peter walking on the water, and sinking when he took his eyes off Jesus just spilled out while I was talking.  I actually stopped in amazement for a moment as I realized that was exactly what had happened with me.  Thank the good and amazingly patient Lord for waiting patiently for me to realize what He was trying to say!

Prayers greatly appreciated!  We will be posting pix of our new home-to-be as soon as God shows it to us!!
