Moving Again

Can't put it off any longer, although filling this blog with everything BUT the moving process has been fun.

We have buyers for our house, a military couple (ret.) with one daughter. They are ready to get the process going, and right now, we could be out of our house by next week. This following on top of the movers coming as of yesterday and taking away all our household possessions...which really didn't equal much more than half a garage full. Still, we are suddenly moving again and frankly, we're all getting fearful. But we don't know what about. And we haven't had time to feel any of our emotions because we've been so busy.

We're down to pretty much our bare minimum...still have books that aren't packed yet, but we're shipping those separately for the media rate to save some money. It's empty and definitely not ours anymore. I don't know where we are going to stay for the rest of the time.

Now we need Chris' house to sell. Hopefully we'll get word on a buyer here soon.
Attending Northgate AK's Burn this weekend. All night prayer and worship, always an awesome time. Never been there before, though, so I'm kind of confused as to the location. I'll have to email or something. Anyway, that will be good. Have tons of friends I'd love to have come as well but they are all working. I just got lucky.

Psalm 119 in the Message has been amazing. I love it, and am planning on memorizing it with my sister. We'll see how far we get. But right now if there is any message God has been speaking to me it is about obedience. And I tend to be very selective in my hearing and very inactive in my obedience. So I figure Psalm 119 is a good one to have popping into my head when I'm tempted to ignore whatever it is I'm supposed to do.

I'm so hungry for God, and yet the more I get closer the more I see my ugliness. I don't want to be the Me I am. I don't like who I am when I'm not walking close to God, and the me when I do is still not very pretty. My words when written speak for me. But my mouth never seems to be able to communicate what I want it to when speaking aloud. Everything always comes out wrong. I feel like even what I mean for encouragement and laughter turns into awkward silences.

I'm bored and tired. I know part of this is because I've just come out of a place where God was so present for a long time, and now I'm at a point where I have to diligently seek him. And I'm tired. Even though I'm not really doing anything, working and a little bit of moving-related stuff, I always feel exhausted. I know that's partly my own fault, and not having daily God time. Sigh.
Which is why I'm starting memorizing scripture again. Psalm 119 in particular.

My family is having a Going Away Send-Off/Reception at ChangePoint June 26th. I think it was from 5-7pm in the Denali Room, but I'm sure we'll be there longer. 2 hours to talk with all our friends? Hah. Anyway, everyone and their friends are free to come. Right now I don't know what it will actually look like or if there will be food, activities, etc. I was thinking it was just going to be drop-in, fellowship and probably food. I DO know that we will have a guestbook of sorts that people can write in or whatever they wish to say goodbye. I'd love to see everyone we know there. 

On a final note, I pray it will be sunny on our drive out.
