So this is something I wrote about our transition from Tracy, CA to Pleasanton, CA. Who would have know that we would be where we are at now in Kansas City, God preparing us all along...so I just reread it and thought I would post it.

Transitions of Life Current mood: determined Category: Life
Soooo....we have entered what I believe is a new season in our lives. We have moved out of the comfort of our own home where we found our peace, our tranquility. There is nothing like your home it is yours and your families santuary. Sometimes though God moves you out of what we would call our comfort zones. He wants us to reach farther to go deeper in our faith.
Some people think it is cruel or you have to be doing something bad to be put in certain difficult situations. But I beg to differ...God puts those that He has really great plans for through really great fire and testings.
Some people run to God more when they are having problems and fall farther away when everything is great. I have found myself to be the opposite. I find it harder for me sometimes when I am going through what sometimes are the hardest things in life. I still seek but feel alone even though I know with all my heart I am never alone.
As a mother your mind is so hard to find a down time or rest it never stops. What if my kids get sick, what if something happens at school, how do there friends treat them, am I doing enough, what can I do to be a better mother/wife? All these questions go through the mind of a mother day in and day out. So with life getting at you in every direction life is sometimes so harsh.
But through all of this transition I look at my husband and children and know that I am working towards a bigger and better future. And no I am not just talking about a nice house, picket fence and an RV. I am not even talking about the day when my kids graduate high school, bless me with new son in laws and daughter in law. Or even the day my babies bless me even more with my precious grandbabies...tear, tear. I am talking about the day I see Jesus face to face. When I know this race I have run, the blood, sweat and tears I have shed where not all for nothing! This is the day I truly have my home!
I don't care (even though there is days I do :O) ) if I never own a home or if I never see the other side of the country. But as long as I know that I have been the best wife, mother and daughter I could be and have instilled all the values that my heavenly Father and earthly mother and father has tought me. Then and only then I know that I have done my job.
We will get through this transition in our life...there is nothing impossible for those that love the Lord. For His yoke is easy His burden in light. So I give it ALL to Him. The One that can carry it all that has carried the sin of the world on His shoulders, My sweet Jesus. We will get through and move on to our NEXT transition in life.
We just have to believe that we will succeed!! And above all trust and love with all our hearts.
