A Moving Tale

The DH and I will be moving to Denver this Fall.

I have seldom felt such ambivilence...I want to stay, I want to go. There are days when I feel sadness and anger and days when I feel joy and excitement. I will miss my family and friends.

I am grateful that I will be returning to a place that is familiar to us as our family lived in Denver for nearly 12 years. We have wonderful friends in Denver!!! And, I know my way around the area...a true gift! I won't have to learn to navigate in another new place. Lovely!

It is amazing to me that He provides such lovely gifts in the midst of the sadness of leaving. The gift of family and friends responding to the move with sadness, but maturity. The gift of summer...precious moments with our children and grandchildren. And, it seems as though the Lord has provided a lovely home for us and for that I am so grateful!

Ambivilence...a home to move to, a home to leave. Sadness and joy. Anticipation.
