Middle of the Night Musings

So, my sister, Krista and her family are moving, too.  They don't live right next door.  They live two hours away, and now they will live at least twice as far.  We have barely visited them, but they visit a lot.  I'm sad, happy, excited for them, thinking about them in practical ways......Gosh, I'm tired.....

Or maybe that's from the surgery I had almost 3 weeks ago.  Maybe I'm actually still healing and doing too much.  It was a blast being part of the surprise "prom" for sister Sarah's birthday.  Oh, and school starts August 10....in 9 days!




The new neighbors moved in yesterday.  Other people are moving out, so more new people will be here soon.  Man,  these are a lot of changes.  It's exciting, a bit nerve-wracking ....

By the way, it's 4:45 a.m.  I just got kicked out of my bed by my nine year old, so I am writing this in her partially finished room.

Why do we feel the need to constantly be in control?  You would think that by now I would have mastered the concept of relying on God.  Yet, I still consistently want to be in charge of my little section of the world.  My humanness just keeps getting in the way.  I believe, but my steps falter.  So, God knocks me down a bit and helps me get back up again.....every time.


Proverbs 16:18 
Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.

Proverbs 16:1
We can make our plans, but the final outcome is in God's hands.
