In the midst of packing and my room and hallway being a complete disaster, I decided to post!
Christina and I will be packing up our stuff on Wednesday in a U-Haul trailer and jumping in our cars on Thursday morning to begin the trek down to Florida - probably around 7am, which as most of you know is my "favorite" time of the day. Nick's family has been gracious enough to let us stay in their home in Savannah, GA on the way down. We are very excited, very anxious, slightly scared, and a whole number of other emotions about leaving Virginia and arriving in Florida. Lots of change!! But God has provided thus far, and we have faith that he will only continue to provide.
This passage came to mind: Jesus speaking at the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 6...
(Photo is of NIV, text on blog is ESV)
25 "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 28And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34"Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
So we are trusting in God for his continued provision, knowing full-well all that he has provided for us in the past, and the number of undeserved blessings as well. Please pray for us!
It's certainly not as beautiful as Christina, but it will sound just like her! I'm excited to share photos and stories from our trip!
