Trust in the Lord with all your heart; lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

That verse has always been a comfort and strength to me, a wonderful promise on which to rest. And lately, it has been on my mind non-stop! We have been praying about and contemplating a move since the start of this year, sure of one thing, then something comes along to change our course. And now, we are still not sure where we will be living in August! Dd 6yo knows about the possibilities, and I asked her what she was thinking about it all. "Well, I am excited about moving, but I am a little bit confused - where are we going to go?"

LOL, I am confused a bit too. But I reminded her of that verse (we know it by way of 2 different singing CD's) and told her that although we are not sure, God knows. And that He will show us in His time, and that we can rest on that promise. It is frustrating - we feel pretty certain that the Lord is directing us to take a yr long leave so dh can teach at another university, but we have yet to hear from his superiors to see if it is approved. I am at times battling hard feelings toward those men, and I have to remind myself that the Lord has a plan for us, a future and a hope. (jer. 26:11)  So I am just waiting on Him for our plans, doing all that needs to be done to prepare for a move, and giving those fearful, worrying thoughts to Him whenever they pop into my brain!

One more thing that occurred to me just now - a lot has happened w/my relationship w/my 6yo dd, and this sharing of knowledge about the potential move has been really neat. I can ask her to pray, and have sort of used her as my encouragement - when she is confused, I can remind her of God's truths, which cement them in my heart a bit more every time!
