On The Move--

My morning coffee cup reads,
On the move, in step
with the spirit....


Well, I'm on the move.
In step with the spirit...?


That may need some work.

If you have moved lately,
you understand....





My house no longer looks like my house--or anyone else's for that matter.
It looks like a storage unit. A messy, disorganized storage unit.
Where did I get all this stuff?





 

 

 The grandchildren said they liked it where we lived.
And wondered, "Why do they have to move?"

 

 

 

 



It's time to write a new chapter.
Time, to start new adventures.

 

Change?

It's sure to be difficult.

 



 

The road in front of our house will no longer be gravel. A paved street will take its place.

There will be no ditches with a tree scattered here and there--birds aflutter.

Fields of beans and corn will not line our travel into town.

The birds, the horses, Sugar (our grandma dog), a tractor in the field--gone.

However, the clouds will still be in the sky--
if only we take the time to look up.

Just look up.

God never changes.

 He is the same today as He was in the past

 and will be in our future.

Whatever we experience in life

and however our lives change,

God will give us the strength we need

to carry on and even adjust.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, yes and forever.
      Hebrews 13:8


Every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation, or shifting shadow.
      James 1:17

In Step With the Spirit?

 

Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.
      Isaiah 40:31

Can we do this?
Make this seemingly monstrous move from acreage to town?
Empty a 5-bedroom home, lived in for 27 years--and down-size?

With God's help

and staying "in step with the spirit"

--we'll give it our best.
