Retirement

Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'....

(in)Courage

Four days.  Dave's retirement ceremony is in four days.  These past few weeks have slipped by.  I've lost track of time, even though I've been agonizingly focused on the calendar...  concentrating on all that needed to be done before the retirement and our move... in the process, I lost track of time.  Does that even make sense?  I don't know.


I have been stressing about the amount of stress my husband has been under.  He is worried.  I am worried.  Will he get a job here?  Will he get a job in Wisconsin?  Will we stay?  Will we move?  If we stay here, will we find a place to live in the same school district so the kids don't have to transfer yet again?  So many questions.


My Aunt & Uncle and some of my cousins lived through the Joplin tornados two weeks ago.  They lost everything, but they survived and lived through it.  Thank you Lord! I feel like we are going through a tornado of our own.  Nothing like the real life-and-death version they experienced.  More of a proverbial tornado.... life is whipping us around, pulling us in different directions, I don't know where we're going to land or what condition we'll be in in the end.


And then, today, I read this blog.... it came to me just when I needed it most.


It reminded me that God has a plan.
He is always in control.
He's God.


And I'm not.
