Sonlight Core F
Week 29
June 2-6th, 2014
This week had a little bit of everything in it. We had another wonderful hike with our friends, the family "L's". We went back to Eagle Creek Park and walked around the lake. Then Dh had his last day of work at the "S" company! What a completion of a major life event---8 1/2 years of it. I am so praying that his next company will be better; much better, for his sake! Then the three of us drove up to Grand Rapids to find an apartment for us to move to while we sell our house. It feels like we are going backwards by going to an apartment, but I will just keep reminding myself that this is temporary.
I have to admit, that I had a really hard morning today. I have been feeling mostly good about how God has been leading us. We had prayed for my Dh to find a new job for year after year, and finally the Lord opened this door. Then I knew that the Lord would also open the door and show us the path of what to do, and how to do it. But, then today I just felt so emotional and so "behind" and "lost" about what direction to take. And then we changed our mind about which apartment we were going to choose, and that changed my whole outlook. It was like the Lord was telling me the plan "we" had chosen was not right, and once we righted it, I felt better.
Grand Rapids seemed so busy; and the traffic was so intense! i hope that I can get use to the "Michigan Left Turns" which is really doing U-Turns instead of being able to turn left at the lights. In Indiana, if you want to take a left at an intersection, you get in the 'left-turning lane' and wait for the green arrow to go left....but, they don't do that there!
