She shows up.
.
I prayed for at least one good friend when we moved here. The kind that listens to you ramble and gives you space to process (and vice versa). Where no edits are needed. No judgements are cast. Just genuine friendship.
.
And God gifted me a few, but I have been so thankful for this one being literally across the street.
.
And today she showed up again. To help with the final day push of getting ready for Jason to load the final truck tomorrow.
.
This is it. Goodbyes. Hellos. Sentimental tears. Heart filled with gratitude.
.
A friend who sweats by your side is a friend for life.
.
Love you, @insyweensy .

Sentimental post. . . This is how I feel tonight.

Sentimental post.
.
.
This is how I feel tonight. A little fragile as I reflect on this great adventure. Another goodbye to a soul sister tonight. Letting go of the known to embrace the unknown... worth it, yet still not easy.
.
.
I will miss this house. I never thought we would live in a house again after we sold everything and followed Jason's ministry calling, living in teeny apartment to teeny apartment for years. But mom committed herself to save what her and dad worked for. Our family and our home is a part of them living on, it's us entering into their wishes for us. And I thought this house was it.
.
.
As I stroll the almost empty rooms, I hold in my hand gratitude and grief. This was a good home where we hosted neighbors and extended family. Roasted smores in our fireplace in winter. Where Karis learned to walk and Judah learned to ride a bike. Where neighbors hosted a Turkey trot... this has been a wonderful home. And wonderful place.
.
.
Letting go.
.
.
I know God prepares us in advance for good works we are to walk in and establishes our boundary places. The next home my parent's legacy is gifting us, will be a great place to host many people over the years. But it's still always hard to let go of what you can see to embrace what you can't.
.
.
That's why it's faith.
.
.
But faith led us to this place. To be with people I have grown to love. To sit with my neighbor after kids are to bed. To host Christmas parties and church small groups. I couldn't see all that the moment we moved in.
.
.
And faith is leading us to the next place. To make home, learn to love the ones we are with, grow roots.
.
.
Letting go.
.
.
Fists can't hold new things. Palms open. Deep breath.
.
.
Time to go.

Pure joy of life.
.
.
He sees what is good, what is true, what is lovely. (Phil 4)
.
.
And he jumps right in.
.
.
This is how I want to be in every blessing. I want to jump in and let the water pour over my head and giggle with joy at God's goodness in those moments that we often miss.
.
.
Because we are too busy in our hearts with worries. Checklists. Fears.
.
.
What is something good, lovely, or praise worthy in your life today?
.
.
I want to hear!

This is how life feels at the moment. Unearthed inorder to repave.
.
.
Major house projects, house staging, packing, and uprooting in two weeks? With our current house ready for people to move right in?
.
.
Overwhelmed is an understatement.
.
.
And when life feels impossible, sometimes even my connection with God feels rigid. Forced. Fast.
.
.
So I'm purposing myself to read at least one chapter of scripture a day and to work through Phil. 4 when anxiety starts to take over.
.
.
Because sometimes when I'm overwhelmed, I feel like there's no time to sit before the Lord. But that's just the exact opposite. When there's too much to do, I need to make sure I am sitting before the Lord first.
.
.
This is where faith is forged. This is where my trust in God is proved. This is where his love is tangible in my need of him.
.
.
What challenge are you facing today? What feels impossible in your life right now?
.
.
Open the Word. Read one Chapter. Pray about all the things. And take the next step.
.
.
Together we can see God at work.
