I recently commented to Nathan that this move & life transition feel very much like someone taking a puzzle and throwing the pieces way, way, way in the air. Where & how they land will barely resemble what they are or how they used to fit. I suppose some sections will remain joined and intact, but its also likely that some pieces will be scattered and never recovered.
As we continue to organize and fit together elements of this new life (school, church, friends) I realize I am less and less aware of how it used to be, and more interested to see what will be. New pieces will be added, and old pieces a memory.

....because we are who and where and what we are for now-and this is the only moment we can do anything about.
So, breathe it in and breathe it out. Listen to your heartbeat. There’s a wonder in the here and now, it’s right there in front of you, and I don’t want you to miss the miracle of the moment.

good thought!
Praise the Lord for His ways are not ours! Our puzzle is gently falling (some faster than others!) and just the other day at our Christmas Eve service I thought, thank you Lord...thank you Lord. It just gets better and better with Him. I'm learning that He has been letting me go through things because I'm stubborn and think they should be that way, but I know He is humbling me and growing me in the trials...and in the grand scheme of things, He is so very gentle with my trials. I must remember not to complain!
Hope you had a great Christmas and big hug from snow covered Maine!
Glad to hear you're doing well (I'm so glad you have a blog-it is so encouraging!)
are you planning on writing anymore? :) or are you writing somewhere else???? hugs!
Bree, well, no I'm not writing anywhere else online. :) Blogging is one of those things that is cool for other peoplebut not an easy fit for me. I'd like to try again though.... It's a time crunch, and also that I find the whole thing a bit unnatural feeling. You're not talking to anyone in particular and no one in particular is responding...its not a prayer journal, nor a chronicle of events. I guess I'm just puzzled- LOL- and given the time it takes, it needs to feel more purposeful or something.
