Changes

I have not written a post in a while.

Our family has some changes taking place.  Moving to a new location, the holidays.  These changes although exciting can be scary as well.

We are leaving behind a lot of things that are familiar to us and going to a new place.  We are leaving behind family and friends and comfort.  Makes me think of God stretching us and moving us out of our comfort zone and places of familiarity so that we will learn to depend more on His love, guidance, grace and provision for our lives.

As we are preparing for this move we are going through all of our things  and deciding what we really need to take with us and what to give away and what to just throw out.  Our spiritual lives are much the same way as we transition.  We must go through what we have received and deceide what is really relevant to our lives and we need to keep and what we need to give away and share with others and what we just need to let go off.
