Fairly Ordinary

The Packing People are due to arrive in the next thirty minutes and I imagine today will be full of boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and answering questions like why on earth did you ever buy that?? And goodness, you have a lot of ugly mugs! And oooh, your towels are so thick. :)

I’m nervous for some reason. Everything is ready for them and we have all of our details lined up for the next few weeks and I am very grateful that we do NOT have the load of stress on our shoulders of packing and moving ourselves. It really is an incredible blessing that we will not forget. But I have these butterflies wiggling around in my tummy and I keep chewing ice and looking out the window.

The past few days have been very swirly and emotional. Saying goodbye isn’t very fun but spending time with family has been so comforting. I have had several rich conversations over the past week with different family members and friends and I’m humbled at the theme that they all have had. I have a lot to think about and a lot to pray about. I feel a shift in my heart right now away from some of my ansty/bitter-sounding thoughts about faith and maybe when I find some time (in the hotel during Drew’s naps, right?) I can share where I am right now. Once again, I know that you don’t always share everything on a blog but I do feel that I need to clarify a few things and set a different tone to some of what I’ve shared.

Anyway, I hope that everyone has a great Wednesday. :) Please think about us in South Carolina as we are fighting this dreary rain (but how can we pray that it DOESN’T rain when we need it so badly?) and packing and getting ready for moving day tomorrow.
