Ahhh! We're moving! It seems to have come on suddenly, but it has been in the back of our minds for quite some time. There are a ton of things I will miss and a ton of things I am not going to miss. For example, the weather here is quite miserable at times and very few days are nice. Also, not to mention the children.... oh, the kids. I miss them like any mom would long to see her kids again after been taken so suddenly and without warning. I think about them daily, and multiple times a day. I am looking forward to this move both physically and emotionally. We need to move on with our lives and start over. I will never forget them, but I do want to forget how much it hurts. Like a fresh wound that will not heal, I need God to come in and heal me.
I will also miss our church. I love them like my family... well, not all of my family, but the family that I wish I had. Family that you see in happy movies, that's my church. I am leaving them. I believe I will miss them much more than they will miss me. They have been there for Matt and I thru it all! Marriage, college, careers, kids, and the loss of the kids. Matt and I are hoping to find a new church, but we are afraid no where will come close. There is no others like our church.
I am also worried about moving. I am worried about employment... or lack there of. I have one job now that will not pay the bills, but it is something. I also have an interview for something that combind, may help tremendiously with the bills, but not everything. Matt has a possible interview, but no one is calling him about any of the jobs he really wants. NO ONE! This is so frustrating! What does he have to do to prove he is a good investment?! Sorry, rant over...
Thanks for letting me just type away letting go of my frustrations and putting them on here. By typing this, I feel freedom. I realize I need to just let go of everything and trust God. He's really the one in charge, so, like a puppy sheepishly handing over the torn and chewed shoe to his owner, I must hand over my worries and doubts because they don't belong to me anyway. I encourage you to do the same.
God Bless you!

Prayerful
Heavenly Father,
You called me to be Your own possession. Grant that my life may evidence the working of Your Holy Spirit in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, according to the image of your only-begotten Son. Lord, in Your mercy, hear my prayer.
Because of Your tender love toward us sinners You have given me Your Son that, believing in Him, I might have everlasting life. Continue to grant me Your Holy Spirit that I may remain steadfast in this faith to the end and finally come to life everlasting. Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer.
I pray for marriage and family, that husbands and wives, parents and children live in ordered harmony according to the Word of God; for parents who must raise children alone; for our communities and neighbors. Lord, in Your mercy, hear my prayer
Be a source of strength and hope for Nevaeh, Makiya, and Nikolai. When they stray, protect them from all danger and grant Your abiding presence. Guide them by Your Word into paths of wisdom and righteousness, and send Your holy angels to watch over them, that the evil one may have no power over them. Lord, in Your mercy, hear my prayer
Lord God, Your gracious presence attends Your people wherever they go. Be with Matt and I as our lives are in transitions we move from a familiar home to a new community in Nebraska. Support us in times of challenge or loneliness, and surround us with caring Christian people so that we may find welcome and peace in our new location and joy in Your ongoing kindness and love. Lord, in Your mercy, hear my prayer.
I give You thanks for the day, especially for the good I was permitted to give and recieve. The day is now past, and I commit it to You. I entrust to You the night and rest in Your peace, for You are my help, and You neither slumber nor sleep. Lighten my darkness, O Lord, and by Your great mercy defend me from all perils and dangers of this night; for the love of Your only Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen
