Bittersweet

" I have hidden your word in my heart that I might nit sin against you." Psalm 119:11

I have known for sometime now that we would be moving BUT...how has it became the reality instead of the thought it once was? 

"You should be use to this by now, always moving, why are you so taken off guard by this reality?" I ask myself. And then I look up and see the faces of these women that have become my best friends, my
accountability and my go to let's talk Jesus girls. 

And I know why I am taken back and caught off guard. I am leaving these precious girlfriends and a Church that have stolen a piece of my heart. 

So I weep, I weep because that piece is gone, not broken or injured, just left behind, and I weep not with sadness, but with joy and anticipation, because I know God has called us to our new mission field. 

As I ponder on my situation and that of Jesus, a sense of peace and calmness come over me. For I know that when Jesus was here He kept on moving. He moved from town to town knowing that with each stop He would have the opportunity to bring others to Him. 

He did it because He is love, He did it because He was called to, He did it to glorify His Father.

So I too will continue to move to glorify Him, to be used by Him, and because I love the One who is love who had no home nor a place to lay His head.

Jesus thank You for setting the path for me and my family to follow. Thank You for using us to spread Your word. I  look forward to seeing all the amazing things You have planned for us here. Amen
