I am the sort of girl that I doesn't like change. I mean for the first 19 years of my life I got to live in pretty much the same place. I did leave home for college in PA a few years ago :) and never got to go back to my homestate, and family back in upstate NY.
Since marrying my sweetheart Nathan I have lived in a few more states; DE, KY and now TX, as you can see these moves did not get me closer to my roots. Plus with each state I lived in I made some really wonderful friends that I treasure and still miss.
So how can I deal with each move and what makes me sure I can make it? Or what helps me know that I can really make it with 2 tweens in the house, and a child with autism?
It is knowing that no matter where I am or what is going on I have a Rock that is higher than I to rest on, that gets me through those storms of life.
I love Psalm 61:2-3: "From the end of the earth will I cry to You, when my heart is overwhelmed and fainting; lead me to the rock that is higher than I [yes, a rock that is too high for me]. For You have been a shelter and a refuge for me, a strong tower against the adversary."
So when I see the storm approaching I have to really make sure I remember that I can rest on God and He will be my Rock that will get me through the storm, heartaches, and yes even moves far away from those I love.
In Texas we have some of the most amazing winds and storms. I look out and see young trees bent to it seems their breaking point, but alas after the storm they still stand. With God as my Rock I know that I will be bent- but in the end I won't be broken and after the storm I will stand taller then ever, hopefully stronger than before.
Well my friend keep looking up. Remember He is your Rock, and will help you through your storm and trials as well.
