  • Hi April, it does take time to find our place in anything new. After a move, your pitcher is bound to be a little on the empty side and it’s important for you to take time to fill it back up until you feel good and strong again. As you said, this time next year you will no longer be the new people and your children will have found their places too… The recent big change in my life is no longer having children in education. My daughter is really struggling with the change, but if there is something I have learned it’s that things generally tend to work out, maybe not as we intended, but they do.

    Thank you for popping by and joining in with #keepingitreal.

  • It does sound like a busy and emotional time for you all. I hope it all comes easier soon. So much energy in this post. #keepingitreal

  • Good luck with the transition and adjustment. Do watch how many things you volunteer for and try to refrain until you’re through this period. Fall is an amazing time for new opportunities but don’t overwhelm yourself. Praying for an amazing fall and winter for your family.

  • Hah! I can so relate to you on this one. We are still adjusting to our move and went to Awana for the first time last Wednesday…we accidently missed the first kick off day because we missed church the previous Sunday due to a family reunion trip we took. It threw us off for the week! I am also holding back in getting involved up to my eyeballs in church also because this is a place where we will be more permanent. I usually just jump right in with our churches when we move somewhere with the military but I want to make sure I am right where God wants me. Sometimes it is not the right season of life to get involved and overscheduled. It is definitely something to pray about and see where you think God wants you to be…perhaps He just wants you to be where you are, focusing on acclimating your family, and getting settled.

    • Oh you truly can relate! I hope you also find the right balance. And I pray your children will enjoy Awana at your new church! Change is such a hurdle, sometimes a fun and exciting hurdle, but a hurdle to jump nonetheless!

  • Although my moves were Ministry moves, I found myself relating to aspects of this especially the church part. With every move, my kids had adjustment. I pray that God will do great and mighty things in your family at your new assignment.

    One of the best things I ever learned from any Bible study was this from “Experiencing God” (do that study if you never have!)…”A need does not define a call”. There are seasons for everything and you don’t have to feel bad if this is not your season to teach! God has other things for you to do right now! Enjoy this season!

I love comments! Otherwise, it's really just me talkin' to myself...
