Sunday 10/18/09 - "BIG CHANGES"

"BIG CHANGES"

Big changes are coming my way - and they are coming quickly.

My dearest daughter will be moving her furniture and all of her possessions into our house. We have a large home with only two of us living in it at this point. There is room, but I must finally start cleaning out the old to make way for her.

I have only several days to prepare for her to move in. She has arrived at a turning point in her life and by the grace of God she will grow into the person God intended her to be and she will find peace and serenity as she journeys in a new direction. I could use your prayers for her and for hubby and me.

I have postponed, put off, procrastinated at really clearing out the clutter of a lifetime of accumulating material possessions. I am a pack-rat and have things from every era of my life in boxes, chests, drawers, bags, and storage bins all over the house. I have attempted to downsize a few times and have made a tiny bit of progress, but overall the result has been negligible. So, the crunch is on and the time has come for me to start tossing things. Pray I will be successful.

We are about to become a foster family for daughter's dog, Lucky. I love dogs and it has been a long time since we have had the pleasure of man's best friend around here. Dogs are such unconditionally loving animals. I know I will fall in love with him.

Change is also in the air. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Yesterday some cooler air finally arrived. The air conditioning went off and the windows opened. This morning is like heaven. It is 55 degrees out now with a predicted high of 72. I could not ask for anything better.

Pray, pray, pray.
Love, love, love.
Blog, blog, blog.

Turning points can be scary. All part of the journey I contribute them to. Thank God, we do have a God that understands and helps us along. This will be a good thing for all parties involved, including Lucky! Blessings dear one. And look forward to posts in the future of how things are progressing.

If Kristin says, "I feel"...
Then it's a "done deal".
--rhyme-a-roni said that!

Change is ALWAYS in the air.

Remember "Fly little bird, Fly with the wind. For if you do not, well then, you have sinned"

(MY poem. HA!) Now I have a "fun" job. Beginning next week, that big dog can "walk me" out in the cool brisk air (same air which carries with it, change?)...and thank God I have grown to "love" dogs. I've got to blog that episode...

Love and PEACE, PG!

My prayers are with you all. I am sure the change will be challenging and rewarding for all involved. My dog is a wonderful companion and a blessing from God, I hope your new friend does for you and your hubby what mine does for me.

Wow, some amazing changes happening. I think that your daughter having you and your home open up is such a miracle. Cleaning out also is amazing. I send you all love and you're all in my prayers.

Hugs,

Change is definitely coming. I agree about the challenge ahead. It will be a challenge but hopefully all will get through it with God's grace.

It will be good to declutter. Hopefully someone from Goodwill or from an antique store will help out so that things aren't thrown away.
