I'm blessed that my hubbie and I have been in the same community since we have been married. I realize that is unusual, and am so thankful for it. i pray for my sisters who go through the sorrow of starting over...but I must say, sometimes I feel a little left out. My friends who move enjoy their old friends, and get to make new ones! I know it is a difficult time, but it can be exciting too. Draw close to God and He will draw close to you.<BR/>I leave for Charlotte tomorrow!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263995875732832349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2832860740344359320.post-86675217433958510382008-06-18T14:21:00.000-04:002008-06-18T14:21:00.000-04:00I am feeling today l like I am standing at the sid...I am feeling today l like I am standing at the side of the ocean and I can feel a huge wave approaching. I sense the POWER of it!<BR/><BR/>I know that it's the Spirit already descending for the SHE SPEAKS conference. I can feel Him, P31 group! He's waiting for each and every woman to walk through those doors, and P31 ladies,<BR/><BR/>God is so very PLEASED with each of you!<BR/><BR/>See you there!

I don't blog enough, and forgot that I must change our computer settings to use my "Blessed B" blogger name, but was glad that my comment finally came through. Anonymous, though, is not for me. I don't like to be nameless - seems too impersonal. : )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2832860740344359320.post-78451092671835349642008-06-17T11:41:00.000-04:002008-06-17T11:41:00.000-04:00Thanks for your thoughts about Mrs. Noah.

That has helped me with the many moves we've made and the changes that come with it. Also, after one move that I hated, the Lord spoke in my heart and said He wanted to be the reality of where I live - my home! To think that God wants to be at home in my heart, and wants me to feel at home in Him, wherever I am, enabled me to change my attitude and choose to make my apartment a comfortable home for the family, with a few inexpensive decorative touches, and a better attitude/atmosphere from me! So glad the Lord goes with us, in this journey of life!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2832860740344359320.post-42626314621375460632008-06-17T10:15:00.000-04:002008-06-17T10:15:00.000-04:00You know, I am right where Libby is too....still m...You know, I am right where Libby is too....still mourning a move I didn't choose to make, still wondering what in the world God is doing..but knowing that His ways are higher than my ways, and His plans are for good and not for evil, and that if I seek Him first, all these things will be added unto you, and that He will direct my path....honestly, these changes are harder for me now, than then changes earlier in my life.....you would think after the stuff I've gone through, it would get easier....one thing I do now is look back at earlier journal entries to remind myself of God's faithfulness and His provision....it helps, so I am journaling now too for encouragement for later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2832860740344359320.post-21221904351702647702008-06-17T04:11:00.000-04:002008-06-17T04:11:00.000-04:00Hi.A friend sent me your blog a couple of months a...Hi.<BR/><BR/>A friend sent me your blog a couple of months ago. <BR/><BR/>It has been an encouragement to me in what has to be one of the lonliest seasons of my life. <BR/>Still no church even after diligent weekly search, no local friends, keeping in touch with old friends is waning..they are busy. I understand. I used to be busy now I'm "on the shelf." Incredible losses this year. I could make a list, but will stop here. <BR/>The Lord prepared me before I moved that this would not be a great time. Funny, this "foreknowledge" hasn't eased the pain.<BR/><BR/>Your insight into the moving struggle has been a blessing for me. I'm living it all...every one of your moving posts has my name all over it. Your gift is meant to be shared as you are doing and I thank you for it.<BR/><BR/>I'm clinging to truth:<BR/><BR/>He is faithful. <BR/>He is Sovereign. <BR/>He is my only hope and future.<BR/>I'm not my own, but for His purpose.<BR/>I'm not in my final home.<BR/>Rebuking the enemy.<BR/>Laying down the flesh.<BR/><BR/>But, I'm still waiting for the time I can honestly submit to this move without so much heartache and whining.<BR/><BR/>It's been a year since I moved and I still don't like it and long to move away from here. It's 4:00 in the morning and haven't slept much tonight due to the aching heart. But,His mercies are new right now this morning as I type, so maybe today the attitude will be obedient and remain in line with out a fight... because I'm tired...if not there's tomorrow... right?<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your ministry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2832860740344359320.post-43686235350806097842008-06-17T01:44:00.000-04:002008-06-17T01:44:00.000-04:00Hi my name is Mele and I am from Fiji, which is an...Hi my name is Mele and I am from Fiji, which is an island in the South Pacific....does Fiji Water ring a bell ..well my islands is the source of Fiji water. I really enjoyed your blog on moving, which is compared to Noah's move. I guess most of us are not really prapared for the major changes that God puts us through, it takes alot of faith and courage to go through with it. I think thatis one thig that we can keeping asking God for strengh and courage to follow whereever He may lead us ..for it says in Lamentations 3:24 "The Lord is my portion, says my soul<BR/>therefore I hope in Him"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
