We depend on them so much for help with the kids. They are the first people we call when a vehicle breaks down, etc. It's so scary...even as a grown woman with four children! I pray your family is settling in well in your new home and that the boys are adjusting quickly. We have also been saying that should it be God's plan, He will provide for our move. He will provide the perfect buyer for our house and He will lead us to our forever home. Trusting is hard sometimes but what else is there, really?

Those onlookers in turn don't realize that they also are envied. You have a beautiful family, Susan.

And the stronger your roots, the easier it actually is to dig in deep again when you are transplanted. I guess it's easier for us in the sense that we don't really have much of a choice about when and where we go, so we just have to adapt when the changes come rather than make tough decisions.<br />Well, I take that back a bit. Sometimes we have to decide whether not to move when they are transferred. That stinks no matter what you choose ;o)Rocket Ma'amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18048400855966871949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039084287472642442.post-11386322016915064722013-08-13T09:02:00.402-07:002013-08-13T09:02:00.402-07:00My heart needed this today as well.

Sometimes it is quite disheartening. His family has a farm back in Southeast Nebraska and we too hope to get back there at some point. However, it is a very small town and my mother-in-law said it was a very lonely place to be when they first moved there. She said that only in the past several years has she felt a part of the community (I honestly believe that many people thought they would up and move when the farm didn't do so well). I wonder myself too....if me dreaming of that farm life is just a case of "greener on the other side". I worry that I would have a hard time making friends as well since many people that live there have lived there since birth. We do move ofen as is but I have had many years of learning to make friends in the best and worst of situations...perhaps God is molding me for life on the farm...or even elsewhere. :) I pray for peace in your family's decision.<br /><br />Sarah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039084287472642442.post-37544723978173504942013-08-13T08:15:29.453-07:002013-08-13T08:15:29.453-07:00I couldn't feel more in tune with your post; s...I couldn't feel more in tune with your post; so much that it almost struck through my heart. My family isn't planning a move but I can completely relate to those "looking over the fence" feelings and feeling like I am constantly questioning the choices that I have already made. I feel a lot like I've brought myself to a soulful drought. I've not lost my faith by any means and I'll be glad when these feelings subside. Prayers for you and your family on your move.
