I needed this today. I received some very interesting news today. I have had time to sort out my irrational feelings and my rational feelings towards this news. Most would be excited to receive such news. I on the other hand seemed to struggle with it. Don't ask me why.
I was reminded, once again, that you really have no control in the military. And for me, I like to be in control. My husband received news that his E.A.D. date has moved. (aka...the day we move.)
As of right now we are moving September 9th-ish instead of July 31st. (Still not official...ha)
May not seem like a big deal. Which it shouldn't be. My family is thrilled. I'm thrilled (after much moping). Why I moped you ask? (I am about to complain) I am beyond ready to leave my home and neighborhood. I feel so crammed and quite frankly ready to not worry about my car getting broken into every night, etc... Selfish reasons maybe, but they are still my feelings. So moving on.
I knew my feelings were irrational but wallowed in my sorrows all day anyways. Two ice cream bars didn't even help. I finally came to my senses, prayed, and this quote is what I received.
"Be still, and know that I am God." {psalm 46:10}
So aside from all the issues that have come up because our move has been pushed back a month and a half. (Financially, physically, emotionally...) Once again I was reminded to have faith. Faith that the path I am going on is the right one. To "be still", have patience and know that God is over all. He will provide, protect, and guide. Tender mercy that we are leaving later? Probably. I will have to wait to find out. I know all things happen for a reason. So whether we move next week or next year, I know whatever comes our way, it is our path and we are meant to live it. Which also means the Lord knows we are capable of living it. And that my friends gives me hope and purpose in this life.
"For with God nothing shall be impossible." (St. Luke 1:37)
