Ch-Ch-Changes
"Do
you ever find yourself in the midst of so much change yet somehow not
worried about it at all? So much is changing and life is whirling all
around me, yet I can't help but feel so full of faith for what God has,
and even, dare I say it? EXCITEMENT! I found myself worrying that I
wasn't worried and then I just had to laugh at myself, because who does
that? God is so good to me, that even if I was worried I wouldn't have
to be!"
The above is my current Facebook status. I didn't divulge too much on Facebook because not everything is "public" yet, but I feel free to share more details here, simply because nobody really reads this blog. Haha!
This past Monday I turned 35. THIRTY FIVE!!! Like, seriously?! How is that even possible? In the not so distant past that was middle aged! I realized a few months ago that I technically can no longer refer to/think of myself as a girl, because being 35 feels like it's officially time to be a woman. There are so many other things I could say about turning 35, but let's just say this was not an easy age for me to turn.
Also on Monday, our house sold. I live with my brother Luke, his wife Heather and their three boys Noah, Declan & Eli. The house has been on the market since the end of October, because he needs to live closer to his work, which is currently 1 1/2 hours away. I am moving with them to the new house in Caledonia, which is about 45 minutes away from our current house.
With the move, comes a change in churches. We all attend the Pleasant Prairie church and now will be transferring to the Racine church. While a lot of my friends are a part of Racine, I will really miss Pleasant Prairie. It is home.
So that was all Monday.
On Tuesday, I found out that my work is going to be closing it's doors on February 28th. While I can't say I was completely taken by surprise by this news, it was a bit shocking that it was happening so quickly. I thought I had more time here. Yet I don't feel thrown. In fact, I feel quite the opposite. I feel completely at peace and full of faith and even excitement for what God has up his sleeve! It is sad to me that this quaint little bookstore is closing, however I trust Him completely.
February is going to be a crazy month for me in all areas of life. Home, work and church are all getting totally mixed around and I don't know exactly what either of them is going to look like. Yet excitement burns in my chest and faith soars to new heights.
He is on the move.
