After reading here head on over to her blog to find many other writers and their take on this word.
GO:
Lost in the chaos, lost in the mess, lost in the boxes that have taken over my home.
Lost is my peace, my understanding of what is to happen, lost is my control.
Through this move, all this is true, but there is joy in knowing that this is the start of a new chapter, maybe even a new book.
This is were we start over, find new friends, build new relationships, have a new life.
This is where God has allowed us to go and once things are settled, when the boxes are gone, that is when the peace and understanding that I'm missing will return.
This is a blessing, one we have yet to unpack. One I know will keep giving even after all the sadness of starting over is gone.
Learning to lean even more on Christ and lose myself in Him, this is what comes from the chaos, the boxes, the mess.
STOP
Isaiah 6:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”
Tessa, I love your thoughts here. Especially, "This is where God has allowed us to go and once things are settled, when the boxes are gone, that is when the peace and understanding that I'm missing will return."
ReplyDeleteI've been there. My hubby retired after 20 years in the Air Force, and we made some moves too. Starting over is a chance to unpack new blessings. Losing ourselves in Jesus is the best way to get through the transition times. I hope those boxes get unpacked quickly! Blessings, Jeanne
Thank you for the encouraging words! And so glad your husband was able to do the full 20! I'm sure it took lots of encouragement from you, God Bless.
DeleteOh AMEN! I've not gone through a move recently, but I can relate to the mess and chaos. So thankful that we can lose ourselves in Him and He will always find us. Blessings!
