As our family has been transitioning and adapting to our new home in Florida I have found some areas of fear in my life. Change has always been hard for me. When I was growing up things did not change a lot. My parents lived in the same house for 40 years. We visited my grandparents on the weekend regularly. Just to name a few. I do not like things that I have to do with out knowing ahead of time the outcome. During this time I am having to face the fear of the unknown quite a lot. Not being in control, not knowing how people with receive us, not knowing which direction to go to get to the store, all of these are very scary for me. I have been learning to lean on God more and more and I am sensing Him drawing me gently towards more and deeper intimacy with Him. I have to place the care of my life into His hands and know that He is looking out for me and that He has good things for me here. I have been spending more time developing my relation ship with Him and learning who He is and how the enemy tells us lies about God's character which causes doubt and fear in us. As I bring those thoughts captive I challenge them with the truth of who God is and what the word says about Him. I am finding peace and I am learning more about who God is to me during this time.
