Rainy nights are the best...

It's a rainy Monday night here in God's country. I can hear the thunder cracking outside as I'm typing this. That, my friends, is what I call relaxation. God's sweet lullaby. Have you ever just sat in complete silence during a thunderstorm and listened to all of the beautiful noises that they produce? If you haven't ever experienced a Texas storm, then you're missing out. 

Spring is here. My family and I have been going through some life changes. My dear husband is gone for work several days of the month now. My poor little munchkins miss him so much when he's gone. I miss him when he's gone. I feel alone without him here even though my house is full. Once June gets here, we will be moving so that we will all be back together on a daily basis. I have mixed emotions about this. I want my family back under one roof. But I also will miss my little town and...some of the people in it. 

We have moved around a lot over the last few years. I have never dreaded a move, until this one. I feel like this is the final big move. I feel like I will never be resident of MY town again. When we moved every other time I said the same thing, but there is just something about this one that screams finality. I know we have to do it, but that doesn't mean that I have to be excited about it. 

On the positive, there are more stores in this new town than just Walmart!!! My tiny hometown has a lovely variety of two whole stores to pick from. So the thought of a pleather of stores to choose from excites me. Another plus is the famed "financial stability" that we all hope to one day achieve. I would have to say that is a big plus. My husband and I have had some tough times financially. I generally don't broadcast these types of things, but I feel like this is a good way to show how God is working in our lives. Any time that I can give Him credit, I like to do it. We have Prayed for this for years. It's finally here. We were patient, but diligent in our Prayers. Don't give up on God, folks. He knows what he's doing. He has the master plan. 

I know this wasn't my usually sarcastic, free spirited post. I just felt like having a pity party/show what God is doing for me post. "Let go, and let God." I'm going to make that my life quote.
