Somethings Happening....

Somethings happening... I have felt this way before.. I have had a hard time placing it in an order that makes it easier for me to understand this time..Maybe it's because of my "life's situation".... Of course that's it.. It always is.

Change.... things are all different now. For the past few years I have been going through life altering events... some big, some small, Most of them huge!!! I squirm, and wiggle and try to rest in this fact. " I know the plans I have for you" my Lord says. And they are plans to prosper me.

I am a homebody... I love being home. I love all the "things" that I can do at home. Baking, cooking, creating, Making a comfortable and safe place for my family to rest when they come in from the storm of the world.

I have been in this "home" for almost my entire adult life. I have raised all my children here, pets have come and gone ( and been buried on the "hill") I even worked here, caring for children for 14 years as a day care. We have had home group here and praised God in our living room, we have fought here and made up here. We have LOVED hard here. We have worked out the kinks of life in these very walls..

I have seen the changes of the seasons (be that what they may) out these windows and know when to pick the oranges. My hill has shown me many years of yellow blossoms and many a child's hand has picked for me the same.
I know when the Santa Ana winds will come and that its usually sunny on Christmas day. I know that Autumn has arrived when the feral parrot flocks arrive, squawking, from Mexico. I could go on and on and probably will in my journal..... but you get "the picture"

Seth is retiring... In less than a year.... We are leaving here... We are starting anew.... I'm a homebody remember.... change freaks me out...... I kick and scream when things are not settled around me... I know I have so much more of my life to look forward too. but to tell you the truth..... I AM SCARED... There I said it. I have so many unanswered questions.... What will my new home be like? Will I have a lemon tree? Will the weens be happy? Will Thomas run away or get eaten by some strange creature that lives in Georgia that I don't even know to protect him from? Will I love my new church? How will I get my chickens there? Do we sell first then buy? or buy first then sell? AGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I HATE TICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And then..... I settle..... and think calmly that MY FAMILY is the most important thing in my life, Besides my faith. God has blessed me with three wonderful, healthy in mind and spirit daughters, a husband that surpasses anything I could have ever asked for, a son in law that loves and cares for my daughter like I do. and now through their love has come a new life and and another person to our family... YEP, I'M GONNA BE A GRANDMA!!!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!
Ahhhhh I feel better now.. I am looking forward to going. I love it there. Not only is is beautiful but its so full of history. I love the southern charm that it has the potential for. I'm excited to see what this season of my life will bring. and at the same time.... Life is interesting like that... isn't it. And all the while god knows the plans He has for me... so its all good. And there's a grand baby to squeeze... yayyayayyyaya

Thanks for listening.... blessings to you.... Sue :) gotta go bake something!!!
