We survived moving out of the house and making it in time for closing on Monday. I want to thank the Lord for His provision of help. We would have not made it otherwise.
Now we have things to sort through for a few tubs of storage at my mom's house and what we plan to take with us... Another sorting exercise. I imagine we will have quite a bit of trash after that process. It is so emotional letting go of certain things, but I know that what God has called us to will put it all into perspective.
This morning I was reminded of Matthew 19:29 (“And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.” Matthew 19:29 NKJV)
and found comfort in the knowledge that God is mindful of this crazy process we are going through.
So ... How can you pray for us? Pray that we keep our emotions under control (okay.. Me.. Dawn more so). Pray that the sorting process will be easy and obvious. Let go and move forward. Letting go doesn't mean I don't care, just that I don't need the items anymore.
I find my emotions are easily triggered for no apparent reason and all I can account this to is all of the major changes we are going through. I ended my staff position on Friday and the closing of the house was Monday. Dramatic changes in 4 short days. I will be spending the remainder of my Denver time preparing us for the grand exit to New Zealand.
Merry Christmas dear ones!
Dawn and Andrew McBride
