Renewal

A few months ago my husband John was offered a better position within his company. Very exciting for him, a chance to move up after 11 years of hard work. Very scary for all of us. This meant we would have to pack up and move 700 miles from everybody and everything we knew. But I had a strange peace about the whole thing. I knew this is what God wanted us to do. As you may know you can't argue with God. Well I guess you can and at some point we all do, but we sure don't get very far doing it. Anyway long story short we are now in Georgia where I don't know anyone. I believe Christ is trying to teach me to completely and totally depend on Him. If you knew me you would know that I have an approval addiction, always have. I have always yearned for someone to say good job or you are good enough. Thank God for my mom, she is my number 1 supporter. She has always accepted me, rebellion and all. To be here with only my children and my husband has been a hard transition. Who do I have to run to when my husband speaks before thinking it through, where do I have to run when my girls,(who are a giant ball of energy)have driven me to the brink of insanity? I can call my mom(which I do on a daily basis)and she listens and helps me to become level headed once again. But being on a phone line that stretches 700 miles is not the same as having that accepting embrace. Don't get me wrong I love and adore my husband and our children, but at times life is a struggle. I believe God has brought me here in my solitude so that I may learn to turn to Him first. So this is a place for me to give an account of the journey, I pray this may be a place for each of us to journey together. At times God will be the only one we can share with and other times we can share with each other. I'm excited to be on this journey because I have no idea what awesome things God has for us! So this is the beginning of my Renewal......
