It hit me this week how close our move to Atlanta is....6 weeks from today we will be making the long drive to Atlanta from Dallas. We are planning to spend Christmas in Dallas with my family and stay with them for a week before the move, so we actually only have 5 weeks left in KC.
I am in my list making mode. It makes me feel like I'm accomplishing things even when I am not. Lists of what to pack up and put in storage, lists for what we need to take with us, and lists of things we need to do before we leave. My mind is running in a hundred different directions, but the peace is still there.
We continue to have confirmation after confirmation that moving to Atlanta is what God has asked us to do. I am still often asked why we are going and what we are planning to do when we get back. We don't know! We still feel that God has asked us to just be patient and wait for His direction. Maybe we just need to get away from all our current commitments, expectations, and comforts before we can hear Him clearly. Even with the unknowns, it is exciting to be exactly where God wants you to be.
On the family side of things, Tim's mother finished her last round of chemo last week! We are very excited and are looking forward to her having her strength back. We are spending Thanksgiving in Nashville with Tim's ENTIRE family. Our boys have become quite the travelers this year, and we have figured out how to share tight quarters. It means less sleep for everyone but it is doable. :) I don't know how families that all live in one room do it!
