Tell It Like It Is

Driving home tonight it hit me that we are really moving to California and I really have to say goodbye to one of my dearest friends and my mom.  So, right now I am overwhelmed with a sense of sadness.  

I know that moving to California is God's plan for us.  I know that it will be a great time for Michael and I as a couple and for our family.  I know Carson and Calleigh will come to love being so close to the beach, Disneyland, and the mountains.  I know that God will take care of us.  I know it will be good.

But right now it hurts.  And I am so terribly sad.

That is where I am and how it is in my world tonight.  The song I keep singing is by Brooke Fraser, Shadow Feet.  It goes like this:
Walking, stumbling
On these shadow feet
Toward home, a land that I've never seen
I am changing
Less and less asleep
Made of different stuff than when I began
And I have sensed it all along
Fast approaching is the day
When the world has fallen out from under me
I'll be found in You, still standing
When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees
When time and space are through
I'll be found in You

When I was moving, "Blessed Be Your Name" was what kept repeating in my mind. I'm sorry you're sad. Here's a hug. A really big, "I understand" Hug.

I am right there with you. I also know the pain of leaving the people you love, as you well know. I have even found myself sad at the thought that 2/3 of my YA's are SO far away. But I know it's going to be great! If we can just get Kim and JD there then I can just fly to CA twice a year to be with you guys. I am praying for you ALL.

I am sorry if I am making it harder on you..... I know that is where you and Michael are supposed to be and I know that God has great plans for you. It will all be ok and it will work out, we will all see that ! We love you all and will miss, but are so happy for you too!
