Moving on.
It's hard to do.
Several months ago we moved and it was something I wasn't 100% sure about but it had to be done. I know it's nearly a year - well it will be in July. Since I have had a lot of issues with letting things go and moving on.
There are so many little things I miss...
The small bathroom at the old house that everyone would fight over getting in.
I miss sitting on my old front porch looking out to my best friends home...
I miss the kids playing in the pasture along with the neighbors kids (again best friends)...
I miss the small town and knowing everyone...
I miss our homeschool group...
I miss our church...
I guess I just miss the "normality" of it all...
Yeah that has to be it. It's not that I'm unhappy with the new life I have and the new home I have, which is double the space. This home has 3 porches compared to the one. It's the 9 years that my children grew up and had wonderful memories in one place and to leave it kinda makes me feel empty. I know we will make new memories and we have already however half of my heart misses the other part...

I know moving on has got to happen but it's come with much hurt and anxiety. It will heal in time...
We prayed A LOT over what to do when moving and I do feel that we followed the path that God placed before us but like so many wonderful followers of God, I don't want to... There I said it... Following God is a hard thing and you have to listen to his plan for your life and no your own.
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. - Proverbs 3 - 5
As I think of it not going my way I think that I just have to keep moving on. I have to have better faith along with a better trust. I pray more and hope that the Lord will heal my broken heart and spirit.
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3 - 6
The memories I have are precious and I am thankful for them... They are memories I hope to always have. Nothing can take that away.
M is for knowing that I have to Move on... Make new memories with new people in new places... It doesn't mean that I forget...
After reading your comment on my blog (Bloom Where You're Planted), I was just praying for you to be able to "move on" before I came here to your blog. Boy, I know how hard that can be! But ironically, it's *good* for a move to be hard. That means that you put down real roots in your previous location. I've gone through moves that were easy - even joyful! Those came when we left places where I had remained isolated (and therefore, miserable). With time and prayer, I do believe that your new place will be "home" for you.
