Giving

Giving isn't hard for me, for the most part, unless it involves either giving up, or giving in.

Granted, sometimes not giving up and not giving in are both hard, and important principles a Christian has to live by.  That coin has a flip-side, too.  There are times each day where we need to both give up and give in, but to God and His plans for our lives, and not to our own selfish plans or desires.

I got reminded about that today.  The house is under contract and the worst thing I thought could happen way back in February when I first started on this adventure has happened.  Notice I said the worst thing I thought could happen.  Realizing it's the best thing because it's part of God's plan for me has, and still is, a mindset I'm trying to embrace.  I'm sad for leaving, but I know this is a great house and I hope the buyers will be as happy here as I have been.

Lots of hurts here at Lark Circle, too, but ti's been a place to learn and grow from them.  I've changed.  I continue to do so.  And giving in to God's plan is something I'm trying to do.  It's not always easy, and I'm mindful of that.  Part of me thinks this isn't good.  I think that's fear, and I know fear to be a liar.

So the house hunting continues and I'm looking forward to the new adventure, as I try to remind myself that in God's economy, things are often upside-down.
