Hello, well today was an emotional, but keep it together day. The movers got everything all loaded up and are on the road with my stuff.. Even the Hubby's truck is on there. I am standing in a very empty house while my children sleep on air mattresses. I look back and think of how blessed I have been with all the amazing people God has put into my life over the years. I know he is in control of this journey and has plans for our family in Kansas, But it is hard to leave everything and everyone you love..Romans 8-28 says we know God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
Don't get me wrong, now that my stuff is gone I am ready to get to my new house and start making it a home, but right now I 'm concerned with my children's hearts. you know its hard enough when you leave your friends but what do you say to your kids? you will make new ones... NOT... these guys have been buddies for years , so your mommy heart hurts for them. They will sooner heal and make friends ,its just important to keeping them in touch with the old friends. here are some pics of the day I've had. now just staying strong in Christ for my kids.
I moved a lot as a kid, and it is true. Kids do heal and make new friends. It was always hard, but you guys have done such a great job of letting them pour into their friends the last couple of months. I remember one day I came home from summer camp at age 11, and my dad said "we're moving tomorrow." That was it. No goodbyes. We were gone. :(
ReplyDeletePraying for you guys today. :)
