tasting, trusting, moving, crazy fast

I don't know about your life, but my life feels crazy sometimes. Not crazy like funny or over-the-top. No, crazy like mentally insane. And this usually happens when really good things are going down.

This past weekend was one of those crazies. We got a call on Wed. asking us to come for an interview for a school we wanted to send our son to. Sure, no problem we can come in a week or two. No, Friday. Friday? Like 2 days from now? Yes.

So schedules were rearranged, info passed to who needs it, really discussing and fussing over the details that were being discussed but not in urgency. Run a five hour drive on Thurs. for an interview and tour on Friday. Home on Friday. Shopping on Saturday. Family goodbyes on Sunday and packing. Up early Monday and 5 hours there to leave behind our precious boy.

I expected it to be hard. I thought I would cry on the way home. I didn't. It really wasn't. Not because I don't miss him. Not because I'm not emotional. I do. I am. It was easier in one sense because the reality of his leaving for long term is not real to me yet. But even more, the reality that this was something only the Lord could pulled off. help with the finances so that it could happen; Tim wanting to go and liking the idea (at least until the last minute); even my husband being in and ok with it, none of that was normal or easy. yet, it was easy. It happened and everything fell into place.

The weekend passed and Tim is there and the house if extremely quiet. My heart is assured by this peace that is beyond natural. I know this is right. Crazy fast weekend aside, it all worked out perfectly; or maybe because of the crazy fast weekend. There was no time to chew on it, think it through further, mull it over and discuss it unceasingly. It happened. It is what I was praying for. It's put together and I know He did this. I stand believing that what is left to come together to make this work will come together. For I didn't act rashly; I prayed for three months and then moved when told to move.

And the complete assurance of scripture is that because I am trusting the Lord to work this out for Tim's good and mine, I know that I can't really make a mistake. He will work it out for our best. I trust Him. He has never given me reason not to and every reason to lean on Him.
