Leaving

LEAVING
Not wanting to
Have to
Hurt feelings
Unknown
Pastor's wife life
New start
Hopefully~~good
Tears
Boxes
Moving truck
Straddling two houses
Camping out
Bare necessities
Almost to new home
Unknown church
Will I fit in?
Will they like me?
Will I like them?
Mission field even here in US
New school for Kiddo
Excitement for house
Better upkeep
New rugs, paint
Bigger yard
Rose bushes
Woods to explore
Places for my garden and flower pots to bloom
Hope
Scary
Still here in old house
Soon to move
Christ is with me~
~through the unknown
Thanks Lord

You will bring such joy & delight to the new congregation, fill the new home with love & hope, create a sweetly fragrant new garden ... & bring Christ to many who need you. Smile, you will be fulfilled & happy. TTFN ~Marydon

I sense joy and anxiety; peace and unsettled-ness; a longing to go and wanting to not go... Where ever you go He will be with you and He - who is able to do MORE than we can imagine - will enable you to share Him with them... you will be a shining light in their presence! Praying for you thru this transitional time!
Love and hugs, Ruthie

I will pray for you! I think leaving is hard as well...but new house is lovely...you sound like you will be a blessing to others no matter where you are. May you be blessed in this move.

It sounds like you've got big changes ahead -- and what a beautiful way to express them. God bless you each step of the way!

Thanks for stopping at my place and leaving a comment! Our daughter and family will be moving for the 3rd time in three years. They keep wondering why the Lord sends them to all these places only to make them move again. It's tough with 4 young children. Still, my daughter sounds like you and the thoughts you wrote in your poem. Very well said! Blessings.
