My List of Worries Concerning our Move:
- Will we sell our house?
- Will we find a new house?
- Will we find good schools for the boys?
- Will we find good doctors?
- Will Matt be happy at his new job?
- Will our neighbors be weirdoes?
- Will our neighbors think we are weirdoes?
- Will my kids find good friend?
- Will we find a church as awesome of ours in Kentucky?
- Will we like our new town?
- Will the town like us?
- Will the stress of it all drive me crazy?
Yesterday God led me to a Bible passage that put my list of worries in check:
“I pray the glorious Father, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know Christ better. Then you will have deeper insight. You will know the confidence that he calls you to have and the glorious wealth that God’s people will inherit. You will also know the unlimited greatness of his power as it works with might and strength for us, the believers. He worked with that same power in Christ when he brought him back to life and gave him the highest position in heaven. He is far above all rulers, authorities, powers, lords, and all other names that can be named, not only in this present world but also in the world to come (Ephesians 1:17-21).”
Moving a family to another state must be as easy for God as breathing is for us. After all God raised his son from the dead. God will be with me every step of the way, protecting me and blessing me. Praise the Lord! I am really going to need him in the upcoming weeks.
