As the evening breeze blows gently through the windows of our temporary apartment, I’m reminded of the movement God has done in our lives this past month.
We packed up our belongings, closed on the sale of our home, loaded a trailer and our vehicles, left everything familiar to us, made the 1,966 mile trek across 9 states, arrived Palm Sunday in our new hometown, set up our makeshift temporary home with minimal belongings, and got plugged into a new church family.
It’s been a bit of a whirlwind when I sit back and look at it all, but what I remember most is the incredible peace from God we have felt this past month!
The journey of this move began a little over two years ago. Stepping out in faith, God showed us what was next and led us accordingly. The wait for God’s perfect timing was often excruciating, but the uncertainties began to slowly fade in the background as we saw God’s clear orchestration before us. Without a doubt, God was in control and He knew the work needed to be done to prepare us for this move.
After just two weeks in our new state, the blessings of God’s orchestration and leading He began in us so long ago, is gradually being realized. All the growth, learning, and preparation God did in us brought us to where we are today and we couldn’t be more grateful.
Waiting on God’s perfect timing was no easy task, but I’m so glad we didn’t jump ahead of His plan for us. We are privileged to stand back now and be amazed at God’s goodness and how intricately He knows our every need before even we do!
There are still unknowns ahead of us, but isn’t that part of life? One thing I’ve learned is living a planned, predictable life isn’t what God desires. I’ve also learned that God is stirring up a movement in people … but we choose if we will join Him.
