Here and There

As some have probably guessed, we are in the process of evaluating whether to move or not. It has been a tough evaluation. I REALLY like where we are, but, I also understand that once the children start to school, we need to be closer to where everything will take place. We need to be closer to where every school even in their lives isn't followed by a thirty minute drive home.

So, we have looked at several houses, put our house on the market, and have left the rest to GOD. He knows what we need. He has it all planned out. He will decide if and when we move; we would really prefer our current home sell before we take on the next. Yet, I find myself really trying to influence the entire process. And, it can be stressful.

Today's word is a simple quote from Eckhart Tolle, which says, "Stress is caused by being 'Here' but wanting to be 'There'".

Isn't it true that we seldom stress because of what we do have or because of where we currently are or because of what is presently happening. We usually find ourselves stressing about things we don't have or because of where we want to be or because of some future event that may or may not happen. We are here but we want to be there.

I am truly trying to let GOD direct this decision and trying to allow Him to do it in His time. Of course, He will do both of those without my release or blessing. It is He who directs things and not I. For, it is when I try to take over that the stress occurs. I pray that I can just let GOD handle things; I pray you can too. Right here is a great place to be.

Be Blessed,
