Moving On

Hello dear friends, we hope that you are all enjoying this wonderful season. I am blogging for the last time from our living room in Georgia. That's right, we close on the 18th. A moving company is coming tomorrow and Thursday to pack and load our things. God did not provide a buyer for our home but we are confident that His will is best and has a perfect purpose. So, we take our loss and move on. Perhaps, He will amaze us in the next few months with a fantastic offer. The company will then pay us the extra. Who knows, but the important thing to keep in mind is that He is in control.

Some of you are asking, "but Chelle, this has been such an awful time and you are losing so much money". The Lord has provided his perspective and I am very grateful! Early one morning this week after a late night talk with mom, my Savior revealed my error. I was reminded of the rich, young ruler who walked away from an intimate and personal relationship with Christ because he was asked to turn over his earthly possessions. "But Lord, I said, you know that I would gladly give everything to know you more". It was as if he said 'Then what is the problem? Why are you so discouraged? Why are you so afraid?' Perhaps, in the drama of circumstantial life I forgot that possessions are meaningless and the only security I have is eternal.

One might ask how a girl may forget such basic principles. Although I am not entirely certain I am certain that my eyes were not focused exclusively on Christ. I am reminded that keeping focused solely on Christ is a choice that I must make each day; and when circumstances arrive one day becomes several times a day.

I pray that you never suffer being focused on circumstances and that you (and most certainly I) can remain entirely consumed with focusing on Christ, our Savior. To my Georgia friends, thank you again for such a wonderful time of life! I praise God for you and pray that his blessing are overflowing.

Good Night!
