Packing it Up - Just a Little Note to my Friends

by Teresa^(1,655) Bronze Star

Freelance writer/Speaker

The last two weeks have been packed - literally. My husband will be home just in time to help pack up the rest of our belongings. The time has finally arrived. All the unknowns of the past year and our times of separation have come to an end. Our move to California will be complete by month's end. Alas! A new season of unknowns are ahead of us, but by the grace of God, we will face them together.

We are anxious to find a new place of fellowship and are open to what God has planned for us. I will be watching and waiting (hopefully) patiently and prayerfully for the doors of new ministry to open. In the meantime, I will continue to study and write articles once we are settled in our new home.

I know my family is not alone in this season of change and I am praying for peace and courage to face what lies ahead for others who have been forced to step out of their comfort zone just to survive. God is good, and He will never abandon His children. We need only be open to the new things He is doing and what He desires us to do. As a result we will grow and when we grow, we have new opportunities to minister to those who have no hope.

"Behold, I am doing a new thing..."

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go" I will guide you with My eye." Psalm 32:8

May the Lord go before you. I'll be back on-line sometime after November 4th, for now it's back to packing.

Share your thoughts, we are in this together!

Blessings to you! T

The LORD will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. Isa. 58:11

The Lord will be with you in His power, and strengthen you for this new thing He is doing in your life. Dana and I will be praying for you guys.
