We are getting settled into our new home. There are a few things on the walls, several boxes left to be unpacked, but mostly, it is starting to feel like home. It is amazing how having "your stuff" can take a place that is foreign and make it your own.
I was reflecting back on the weekend we moved, and am amazed at how things came together despite the worst snowstorm in recent Tulsa history. That the Lord raised up people willing to brave the elements on a weekend that would have been better spent by a fire with hot cocoa, and a good book or movie, still stirs me.
Moving is always...well, a pain. I don't like moving. I moved four times in 7 months. Yes, only two times were with all our stuff, so that makes it somehow better...at least I'm trying to believe that.
I have a good friend from the Indianapolis area who once shared her moving story with me. She and her husband moved from Wisconsin to Indianapolis. Her husband drove the moving van. It was from that national company with orange and silver trucks. At that time, they had a slogan that read: "Adventures in Moving."
She stared at that sign until her eyes blurred, which was not a good thing as she was driving their only car. She began to sob. Sobbing turned into defiant screaming in the quiet of her car.
"This is not an adventure!" she declared. "I hate this, I don't want to do this, I just wanna go back home!"
I don't know her exact words, but this was the idea she conveyed.
I could relate to this. I used the same moving company, and was reminded amid the snow drifts and icy roads, that this was quite the adventure. One I could have done without...so could the 7 or 8 friends who came to help us.
Change is hard for most of us. We resist at most costs. We would much rather reside at the hearth of our comfort, than have our walls expanded to include new adventures we feel ill-equipped to traverse. Especially ones that take us far away from all we know.
It is at these times that we can rest assured that in fact, this is a journey...a faith journey.
I feel no particular gifting for the job I am doing. There are many who are more qualified than me. However, "for such a time as this," God wants me here. He wants Deanna teaching in Sapulpa. He has bound our hearts to others in this area. How and why this has all occurred is something I do not have the vision to see. Everyday, new things are coming our way that are much bigger than we are. It is only by His strength that we are able to meet these challenges.
I only know that this "adventure in moving" is His desire, and ours it to be found obedient. He has supplied and provided at every turn. His provision is ample. This "adventure in moving" is His "adventure in living." Praise God!

Glad to hear the house is coming together. I hate moving too, and have done it too much in my life also. But God brings us to where He needs us to be....and then we might have to move on. It is not fun, but if it is what God wants, then who are we to fight it, lol? May you continue to make your house feel like a home, and may God continue to bless you!

Brent your post today took me back to when I moved from Australia to the US. Trying to figure out what I would keep and what I would sell, where would I store the things I was keeping until I had them shipped here. Saying goodbye to friends, trying to say goodbye to family, was and still is so very hard.
Like you I knew it was faith that was my companion. Trusting in the Lord can be such a challenge at times, but one that we take a hold of with that faith that He has proved to us.
Thanks for the reminder today that I am here because it is His desire.
In His Love
Linda
As a fellow recent mover, your words were a great reminder to trust the Lord in His plan. Thank you, I needed to be reminded. His plans are infinitely better than anything we could ever imagine, even when we can't see or understand our current state (or the state that He has moved us to!)
I recently had a 17-year-old young woman come to live with us. She brought ALL of her belongings -- in one small, ripped suitcase. Her room looks so sterile, and she has nothing to decorate to remind her of home (although she doesn't want reminders of her home). It is funny that all the stuff we accumulate take us somewhere in memory. This Christmas I am going to try as best I can to give her something for her room that she can take with her that will give her comfort and let her know that Christ will be her guide and strength in moving forward. A cross to hang over her bed and a bible to put on her bedside table. The Word and a symbol of all she will ever really need. She needs a Merry Christmas this year!
Please pray for Floyd Hamilton as he is going through his last week of Radiation and has been so very sick.
