Getting ready to move is a truly monumental job. If I spend too much time thinking about it, I get anxious and scared, and feel kind of panic stricken! The biggest challenge during this time is keeping our focus on what’s important and not getting too overwhelmed with all the things that have to get done. God has worked in some strange ways these past couple of weeks, and has helped me to keep my focus where it needs to be… on Him.
Gordon and Chantalle were off taking care of some business, and Aly and I had the day to really hit it and just pack like crazy. We started to get working, and the thought of all of the work that lie ahead of me was starting to make me panic. I breathed a prayer to God, and checked my messages, finding one from a friend who was in immediate need of my help, so we took off to help her out, leaving our packing behind. We ended up having a great time helping our friend, laughing away all of the stress of packing, and when we returned, with everything in perspective, I felt much better.
God will equip us for every job that He asks us to do, so I don’t know why I allow myself to worry that THIS time He won’t come through for me. We still have a lot to do, but after a much needed attitude adjustment, things are moving along at a much nicer pace, and I feel confident that we will get everything done when it needs to get done. (Prayers would still be appreciated, though!)
May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may He work in us what is pleasing to Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Hebrews 13:20-21
