"In the wee small hours of the morning.
While the whole wide world is fast asleep.
You lie awake and think about the boy,
And never ever think of counting sheep."
Only in my case, I'm not thinking about "my boy" cause he's snoring so cutely next to me (love you babe). My mind is thinking about our family move that is coming up in 13 days. Yes, we are moving to Utah. (Gasp!!!) sorry if you found out by my blog. I'm actually quite excited just because I know it's right. I won't get too into that though because its special to our family. Anyway, we are grateful to have heaven guiding us even though it may be hard, and even scary.
I'm pretty comfortable right now. I know the city. I know the people. I know where to get a great taco and the quickest routes to the hospital. I know who to call to borrow a cup of sugar or to stitch up a deep cut. I know what there is to do in this town and where to try to avoid at all costs. Heck, I can even predict (with a high level of accuracy) which high school football team in the city will win the "big game" this fall. I can find my way up a mountain, to a lake and my family even has adopted a farm which we loving visit. Yet...we are leaving all that behind and going into a place we don't know. Not only that, my parents dont know. So i cant call up my mom and say, "who do you recommend as a......". I have to figure that out on my own. But, i'm okay with it because this new opportunity just feels good deep down. Ya know that feeling? It feels fresh and exciting and like a jump our family can take together where we can focus on what really matters most. Each other.
So although there are tears in our eyes and heavy hearts in our chests, there's a smile on our face and a strength in our spirits.
Wyoming will always be home. I know I'll miss it. But I know I'll love Utah too.
By the way, visitors are welcome :). It's only Utah. Not the Philippines people. You can't get too far away from us.
All our love....
Holy crazy!!! So you need to at least give some details like WHERE exactly in Utah you will be (especially if we're going to visit you someday)! I was just thinking about you the other day and hoping things were moving forward as far as plans for you guys. I'm excited for you and hope everything works out well. And don't forget to let us know when you visit Powell so we can all get together!
ReplyDeleteSure love you Erin and admire the tremendous faith you and Kyle have!! I know things will all work out because you have always lived your life in such a way, that the Lord can and will help guide you in the best way possible. I sure can't wait to hear about the details behind this decision! Love the cemetery picture.... and can't wait to hear more about that! xoxo.
