could be

I do pretty well at living in the moment. I embrace everyday and try to bloom where we are planted. I know that with Chris' work we will constantly be moving. Moving from job to job and opportunity to opportunity. We are lucky. Lucky Chris has a good job and lucky to meet new people and experience new places. 

We have lived in England, Italy, GA, AK, MT and WA in the last ten years and I can honestly say that there has not been a move I haven't looked forward to. Sure, some moves have been harder than others but I always knew deep down that we would make the best of each situation or place. 

I have discovered that moving forces you to grow. You have to adapt to the different climates and people. You fine-tune your likes and self. You confirm things that make you tick. 

We have been told that we COULD be moving soon (like in the next 6-10 weeks). Maybe even months later. We have no idea how long we will live in our next location. We could be there 6 months or 2 years. Heck, it could even be longer. 

We do know where we "could be" moving but there is really no reason to share that as we have lived everywhere on rumors. Just know that Hawaii isn't a possibility (at least right now) and the possibility is one that we look forward to. I promise we will tell you when the location transforms from a possibility to an actuality.  

This "could be" is eating away at me. It is constantly on my mind... Sometimes I wonder why this is happening right now. We are finally getting settled here. I run into friends at the grocery store. My children are thriving and I am getting involved with the community. With that said, when I look at where I have been (both geographically and spiritually) and the person I have become as a result of the journey, I remember that we go NOWHERE by accident. Every place I have lived has been a blessing. Every experience has been God's plan. My life is His boot camp and He is preparing me for something big. He knows where I will go and where I must go. I am letting Him lead me to it and through it. 


This verse is my strength. 


Deuteronomy 8:2-3
 “Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep His commands.  He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.”


**I am sharing this with you so that you understand what is going on in our lives and to keep you connected in our journey. I know that everyone has a something that they carry with them. Something that is on their mind. Something that effects them. I feel guilty that moving is my something and that it is effecting me at all. I know that other people have much bigger somethings. Moving, or lack of sleep, or losing your keys do not, in any way, compare to the challenges people face when dealing with a terminal illness, divorce, or job loss.
