Living Comic Book

Have you ever moved before?  It may sound like a silly question to you, but until I was 18, I'd never really moved, so this validates reasoning for my question.  It is a tough thing to do, I tell ya.  This will be my 9th move in 7 years.  I know, a lot, right?  It's pretty rough.  I'm sure you've been there.  And every time we move, there is more and more, just, stuff, than there was before.  It doesn't even seem real.  I feel like I'm living in a comic book sometimes;)  God is my hero, and He's soaring with me in His arms across the skyscrapers, taking me from adventure to adventure.  And they seriously get better and better.  I've really love where I live now, so it's kinda sad to see it go.

But isn't that how it always is with good things?  They usually don't last forever, because God is just growing us through this journey, preparing us for what's to come.  It's kinda scary, isn't it?  Or maybe scary isn't the right word.  Perhaps it's just more exciting than anything, because God is taking us to our next level, our next place.  You know, it's like that with any change in life.  It really is saddening to leave something that you love so much, just like my little place here on a hilltop in The Smokies.  But God has brand new plans for me, and they are plans for my good.  So that means that He's got something even better for me out there than I even have now.  And I'm really happy here!  God sure is a mysterious God, isn't He?

"Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love to those who love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations, and repays to their face those who hate him... you shall therefore be careful to do the commandments and the statues and the rules that I command you today."  Duet. 7:9-11
