With the impending move very much on the horizon, I'm finding it hard to sleep (i.e. the reason this post is being written at 2:30 am). As soon as I find myself beginning to doze, I'm quickly jarred awake by another to do item to add to the ever-growing list or a moment of panic as I ponder how my dear ones will adjust to so many new things. I am finding my only respite is to retreat to prayer... to thoughts of peace and calm...to feelings of trust and hope...to awareness of change being the only constant in this universe of mine.
I pray that...
- we will be able to complete the remodels and organizational items for our home so that the renters will have an enjoyable place to live.
- we will be able to fit everything we need in our luggage without them popping open.
- our shipment will arrive in Quito before we do.
- our travels will be safe and enjoyable.
- our farewells to loved ones will be short and sweet in hopes that we will see them all soon.
- our bodies will adjust quickly and smoothly to the change in altitude, lack of sleep and new bugs that we will be exposed to.
- our hearts will adjust to the sorrow of saying goodbye to those we love.
- I can sleep soon :)
Cheers,
Jen
I remember those sleepless nights. I kept a growing list of to do's scribbled in the middle of the night when I popped up saying, OH NO must get to that as well! Happy closure, celebrations, and final packing to you and your family.... and an exciting new beginning as well!
