"Times they are a-changing." I don't really know who said that, but its so true in my life right now! First... Baby Zailey is on her way. We're adding a princess to the CH household in December. Not only will our lives be completely turned upside down by another baby, but a GIRL baby at that! Contrary to (my) popular belief, being a girl doesn't mean you know what to do with one. But we are excited to meet her!
However, in preparation for her arrival, we're switching up the bedroom sitch. Javik is moving to the loft. Some days he's excited about this. Other days he cries that he just loves his downstairs room! It breaks my heart to make him move... even when I know he'll eventually love it and it really is the best scenario for everyone. So begins the process of cleaning my stuff out of the loft so that we can move his stuff up there so that we can fill his old room with her new stuff! Where in the world do we get so much STUFF?!
On top of all of that, we're once again seeking God's direction in the job field. I know that God moves in our lives to teach us & grow our faith, and that it's selfish of me to think that He'll move in our lives again in the same way He's moved before... but that really is my prayer! I want so badly to know that making any kind of job move is His will for us that I'm praying for another billboard. You know: God, sell our house (even when its not for sale); God, provide us another house (even one that we tried & failed to get ourselves); God, send a church to come looking for us (even when we're resistant to the idea of going there)! How likely is it that He'll do all of those things again?! Probably not all that likely. But that's what I'm praying anyway. Either that or that He'll make things so miserable where we are, that we have no choice but to leave! lol
Maybe we'll be right here forever... but maybe not. And if or when that "maybe not" comes, I want to not only be ready, but willing. Babies & all... willing to pick up & move & start over. But it doesn't make it any easier to think about!
So, although I'm not generally a fan of change, some of these big changes are exciting. Some are a little scary. But as long as I know they're of God, they're all possible!
