Whirlwind of a Week

Life is changing.

Our life is changing as fast as the leaves outside our windows are changing color in the last few days of fall light we have left here. 

Our life is blossoming at the same time. New growth. New life. New is coming. 

Our life up to this point since the submit button has been crazy awesome. Highs and lows all along the short path to here, and yet the path is still not complete. The light though at the end of the tunnel is most certainly growing larger by the day.

A week ago we found an answer regarding the submit button. The answer while fantastic and a direction we have been praying over is bittersweet. God most certainly has had his hand in EVERY detail along the way and we are forever grateful. We have only wanted to be in HIS will the whole time.

We are moving out of state.

My husband is going to have a new job. A new career.

No more crazy holiday retail hours. No more late nights. No more weekends. Home for dinner. The list really does go on and on.

There are so many positives with this transition it's crazy awesome for our family time. For our future and could potential be the answer we have been praying for regarding the purchase of a house. At the same time God is leading us to leave a state that at first we really wanted, then hated, then have come to grow to love and call home.

We are moving.

We are not moving to the state next door or below. We are moving thousands of miles away.

We do not have a firm move or start date yet. We haven't put in our 2 week notice or 20 day notice for our apartment yet. We do not have a place to live in our new state yet.

I'm not worried.

God has been so amazingly faithful with all the details up till now I know he will provide even still with all the final unknowns.

WE ARE MOVING!!! {like around Thankgiving time...Weeks from NOW} WOW!!

MY HUSBAND HAS A NEW JOB!!!

And truthfully as I wonder through the maze of boxes right now I am not sure it's fully sunk in all that has taken place in the last 2 months.

God is good and I am beginning to see our new journey is just beginning.

I'm so excited for this new hope and enthusiasm that has entered your lives. And a little jealous that you will be getting warm weather again! Me next, ok? :)
