A Mom's Musings

• Tuesday, February 6, 2007 - Numb

Posted in camp quest

So, here we are.  DH had a wonderful weekend in Colorado.  He got in late last night, and received the phone call this morning with the official job offer.  He has until next Monday to decide if he'll accept.  Earlier today my head was spinning so hard that my brain hurt!  This is so much to digest all at once.

Going to CO is a dream to us.  We used to dream of Alaska, this is similar but not so dang far away!  It's still 2000 miles, though!  Loooong way from "home."  We would also have to be ready to go in less than two months.  My brain has finally stopped trying to figure it all out and now I just feel numb.  How weird is that!...get a great job offer, freak out and withdraw. 

It would be SO easy to stay here in NH.  No rush, the timing is wide open, it's close to family and all things familiar.  Life goes on its merry way with little more than a change of scenery (expect of course that DH is finally in a line of work that he likes and our family is no longer pulled in 5 different directions).

There's moving, and then there's relocating!  Totally different!  In our case, one is very easy, and the other requires a big leap of faith. 

Me, I just keep looking at this house and thinking "It will never be finished!!!"  But then like Peter, I suppose I ought to keep my eyes on my saviour and not the storm around me.

I ran into your blog through the CWO ring and had to write you after seeing your most recent blog about your possible relocation with your hubby. I just learned that my husband's job could possibly relocate us from Cleveland (where my family is) to Chicago (where I know no one). When I saw your entries, I immediately knew what kind of fear you must be going through. But when I saw the bible verses you had posted and saw that they were THE SAME ones that I have come across in my devotions, I gained a sense of peace. He does know the plans He has for us - and I will be praying for you.

I can imagine the fear that you have. My husband and I have often talked of moving out of state and away from the area we've known all of our lives (Texas). It's a scary thought, but it's also exciting to think of the possibilities. God knows you and your family better than anyone. His plan is secure. You are secure in His plan for you. Trust Him. Let Him lead the way and the rest will fall into place. I believe the Bible mentions several hundred times not to be afraid because God is with you.

Have you seen Facing the Giants? It's a great Christian film and it talks about fears and how to face those "giants" in your life. (It's a great Friday night family movie!)

I'll keep you in my prayers.
