IT'S TIME TO BLOG AGAIN...

My previous post indicates why I have not blogged in a while. Hate that but life has been enormously busy. My job has been crazy, keeping the house clean, showing the house and doing house buying things with realtor and bank...too much to keep track of but somehow it is all holding together and I neither want to kill my husband nor my children. God's grace must be at work, because I hate moving and the whole preceding process.

I had grand plans at the beginning of the year that my life would be different by now. I had put in to go part time at work, effective after a new boss was hired. I was hoping we would have completed all the stuff we had to do with the house and it would have sold by now. I was hoping for a saner, more settled life with more time and room for hospitality, fewer days in the office, less commute time, closer to church, etc. Things just don't seem to work out according to my plans. It is very disappointing to me.

So, the question comes, why isn't everything working out? Are we seeking something that is outside God's will? Is it not the right timing? I don't at this point have a complete answer. Some of it is just the nature of modern life, making transitions, workplace politics, etc. Too complex in some ways to figure out who to blame for my troubles besides myself...

Hopefully a few posts from now I will have greater clarity on how God was working in and through every circumstance. I feel very at sea with life - sure there is an end point to this part of the journey but unsure of what course will get us there. Peter is his usual calm self about things, and that is a great comfort and anchor for my soul. Blessed be your name, Lord Jesus. Please pray for Peter and me and the kids and selling our home and moving.
