29 (CL)Are not two sparrows sold for a [bd]cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 But (CM)the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So do not fear; (CN)you are more valuable than many sparrows. (Matthew 10:29-31)
Yesterday, I started to feel fearful about our move. It really hit me that this was a huge thing and all the things that I ever felt insecure about before still are with me. Moving only magnified them. I told Nathan and I mentioned it to some friends in email and asked for prayer and I spent time praying about it this morning.
I felt less anxious and more peaceful. I had some important administrative household/budget things to work out today and they worked out well. Some things that were weighing on me came together. I feel grateful.
Moving has put us in a position to see God’s hand at work taking care of us. Nathan and I realized a few days ago that we had made this “jump” knowing that we would need to rely on the Lord’s help to navigate this transition, but that we had somehow lost sight of making prayer a priority. So, Nathan said, “We should pray. Right now.” It made me feel loved. My husband taking the initiative to talk to our heavenly Father about our family and how we need him and want to learn to love Him better- that’s good stuff.
Tonight, I’m carving out time to think and read. Before I sign off though, I thought I would share a few photos of our house with furniture in it. We still have piles of things that we need to figure out where to put. This is how things look right now. I really wanted to pretty it up before taking photos, but I don’t know how long it will be before everything is in it’s place.
