To Everything Turn, Turn, Turn

It looks like there are going to be big changes in my future. Eddie and I have been diligently praying for guidance and direction these past few weeks. Where to go, what to do, how to manage. The little things that you don't think about when you have stability.

Oh Stability....how I miss you.

We took a trip out to Utah this past week with the family.  It was a fun trip for all. 
To be honest, we have been wanting to move to Utah for some time now. I guess we feel that Utah will be a better place for us to raise our rather large family. Sometimes, Irvine feels so small. Like it was meant for families with one or two children. Not five and growing.  Anyway, now that Eddie has been laid off, we have no ties to southern California. That is so not true....in my typing while caring for baby, I seriously forgot one major tie.  My parents are here and they are the world to my family.  I am actually hoping hat they join the rest of the family in Utah, but I highly doubt that.  Here is to wishful thinking.  Also,  I am forever tied to my Charger kids.  It makes me sad to think that I wont be the coach after 9 years of volunteering.  I have made great friends there and will miss them if we decide to head out.

I thought I didn't have any fears, but maybe I do.  Well, not really fear as much as caution.  If it were just Eddie and I, I would pick up and drive anywhere the wind takes us.  But it is not just Eddie and I , we have a family with 5 kids to think about, to care for.  That makes the unknown a little more difficult.

But I need to remember that FEAR is not of the Lord.  I need to remember Gen 26:24, "Fear not, for I am with thee."  How comforting that scripture is.

I also love 2 Timothy 1:6-7, For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power and of love and of sound mind.

Anyway, I need to remember that when we pray for guidance, our prayers are answered by the Lord and through his will.  It is not always what we want or what we thought best, but of what HE knows is best.

We have yet to finalize any decisions, but our hearts and minds are open.
