This month, January, is seen as a time of new beginnings. And it definitely could be that for my family. We have been waiting for this month for almost a year; ever since we found out that J's job could be cut. Even with the tornado, things are still progressing as we had been told. J is up against four other people, including one co-worker, for the ONE job spot here. He is interviewing for several other spots within the state. Aaaand, several OUT of state. He has had one interview where they want to meet him in person before they give him the job, but it's half the country away, and is NORTH. I am content with the amount of winter here, so not sure how I would handle more of it...
And there's one south, only about three hours from where we are now, and we would have family close. Currently our closest family is over an hour away. We should be hearing from them any day!!
But, there's the moving. The packing, the selling the house, the finding a new house, changing schools, and so on. When we moved in October 2010, just over a year ago, we said we were NEVER moving again, unless God said otherwise...
God has definitely been working in our hearts. I am now okay with moving, and have started *trying* to get the house in order. And that's hard with four kids six years and younger. Oh, and R, the 7 month old, just became mobile this week!!
I am going through and getting rid of a bunch of stuff in preparation. I know it's not 100% certain, but stuff needs to go anyways!! I have ten plastic tubs worth of outgrown clothes, and oodles of unused toys!! I am trying not to stress about everything, and I generally have done well with that. The verse I keep close to heart is "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6. I know worrying gets me nowhere, and I am very thankful that the details are already planned!!
