I have this constant fear that once I believe we are settled we will have to move again. You are so right about where we have to go with our pain. It is my faith that keeps me going and keeps me from letting the cynacism ruin my life.Ice Creamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720267761985766740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-992476707494424848.post-30795776760076419982008-04-23T15:35:00.000-04:002008-04-23T15:35:00.000-04:00wow. i just read the "rest of the story"... wow. ...wow. i just read the "rest of the story"... wow. we moved seven times our first four years of marriage, and i remember thinking after each unpacking ritual, "ok, this is it"... but it wasn't, and i had to keep my heart open, raw and surrendered lest it became hardened and frustrated with God. <BR/><BR/>the good news is, He was there all along the way, and still, consistently, has never failed us. stay strong, and know that your new friend has said a prayer for you.Torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07695935389556205162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-992476707494424848.post-91579275884126993272008-04-23T11:17:00.000-04:002008-04-23T11:17:00.000-04:00Your words just touched my heart.....again.I wish ...Your words just touched my heart.....again.<BR/><BR/>I wish I were close to help you pack or to just share a cup of tea.<BR/><BR/>I prayed for you and your family today. <BR/><BR/>Just so you know, your husband sounds a lot like mine.

I have no idea if they are in need of professors or anything like that - but I feel like we were meant to cross paths so that if nothing else, I could tell you about this place.

It's so fun when a new "friend" comes into our lives. <BR/><BR/>I read your story and can empathize a little. We moved a lot when I was younger for my dad’s job. It’s hard on everyone. But I can’t imagine 9 times in 9 years. Just remember this… things happen for a reason. We may not understand why right now, but one day…He will explain it all to us. I have to tell myself that EVERY day. And in the end…it helps ease the discomfort. And you are doing the right thing praying for something positive instead of hanging on to the anger and frustration. I know things will work out for you and your cute little family.<BR/><BR/>Your blog looks so welcoming and I look forward to coming back and reading more.Moss & Fern Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10661236808667846272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-992476707494424848.post-37918156865300844952008-04-18T17:46:00.000-04:002008-04-18T17:46:00.000-04:00Oh, Angela.
