Let me start by saying I absolutely hate moving/packing!!!! Maybe this has something to do with the fact that I never moved as a child. I lived in the same house until I was a sophomore in high school and even then we only moved across town. As soon as I went to college I started moving every year. I still tried to stay positive about the situation and used this as a time to de-clutter everything and get rid of stuff I wasn't using or had started to collect over the year. I managed to get rid of a lot of junk, yet I always still had a ton to move.
When Matias moved in with me in December we did another massive cleaning spree to make room for his stuff and all of our new wedding gifts. Somehow (even thought we lived in a 2 bedroom duplex) we still didn't have enough room for all of our stuff.
Isn't it amazing the things that we collect and feel like we can't let go of? Why do we collect all of this JUNK?
Through this whole process of moving to a new city and trying to find a job I really have had to trust God and know that he has a plan and everything will not happen in my own time. I always love to be in control and this has been one of the toughest things ever because I have realize I have no control over anything.
First we were worried about neither of us being able to find a job, but God provided a wonderful job for Matias. After that we knew we were moving to Houston, and were going to have to find a place to live. For me it was so nerve racking because for rent homes you can't really start looking until under 30 days of your move date. I couldn't believe that! Once again God provided us a place to live on his own time but I think the house will suit us perfectly. Even thought I still don't have a job in Houston I keep praying and I know God will eventually find me the perfect job. I just have to continue to trust him, even when the stress starts to build up.
