I'm Back

Yes, it has been a long time since I've been on my blog.  I was immersed in what I call the 'moving morass' - that is, going through nearly six months of looking for houses, seeing houses we liked, making offers on houses, getting offers accepted, then having it fall apart at the last minute.  We went through three of these situations before we finally found the house that was right for us.  This truly was a test of trusting that the Powers That Be would help us find just the right spot for our little family to move into.  Finally, in April we did find that special place.  Now is the time for adjustment; new roads to drive to work, new stores to shop in, etc.  But in the end, it was all worthwhile, if only to realize that trust truly is huge for a lot of people.  It is difficult to sit back and 'trust' when what we think we want isn't happening.  Yet, looking back over the 'moving morass' and other times in my life when I had no choice but to trust, it always ended up just the way it needed to.  It may not have been to my personal liking, but it was necessary for me to grow in some way, or gain a deeper understanding.  In the midst of those despairing moments, I still managed to cling to trust.  I had no choice.  Without that trust, I had nothing, and that is scarier to me than anything else.  I trusted there is a bigger picture that I'm not seeing.  I trusted that the Universe will place us just where we need to be.  I surrendered my will to a bigger will (after much screaming and tearing out of my hair).  And you know what?  It worked out.  Somehow, someway, in the long, winding route these last six months took us on, it worked out.  All I can say is Amen to that.
