Well, we are doing it all over again. Packing. And I can tell you for sure, that this is the last time. That's a fact! Yes, our new house is almost done! We are hoping to be moved in the next few weeks! I am so excited and soooo ready to get out of this rental house and into my own house. There are lots left to do before we move, but it will get done!
As I am packing, I keep saying to myself, where did all this stuff come from? Because I didn't unpack everything. Then there are things that I did unpack, all of it. I am thinking, like, why did I unpack ALL the towels and linens? Why did I unpack all 6 table cloths? It's not like we were planning on staying here very long, it was just temporary. But I did. And I am having to pack it all back up again, as you can see. Oh and don't be mistaken, this picture is only the packing what I have started on in the kitchen and living room. The upstairs boxes are still upstairs, but at least that part of the house is finished.
Today, at church, our lesson was about trials and struggles. Everyone has them and we all respond to them differently. Sometimes my struggles and trials are very hard and difficult and other times it is just, well, life. But I was reminded today, that God is with me throughout all the trials. He never promised me that there would not be any trials, but he did promise that he would walk beside me through it. When life gets hard, God uses it to help us grow. I don't know about you, but sometimes I don't want to grow. I don't want any struggles and trials. but that will only be in Heaven.
While on earth, there will be trials. But God, will always be there, walking beside you and me, carrying us when we need it.
So, I am back to my packing. Back to getting everything ready for our move. Getting ready for the next chapter in our life and in our parents life. Because they are moving with us!
John 16:33; “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Love to all,
