Still so much to get done.  The move was pushed back to March 1st for me and Grace, which means it will be just a little longer until my family is together permanently.  Even in that, we were able to find a better (for us) house than the one that fell through causing the push back. I KNOW THAT WAS GOD. I look around the South Carolina house and am amazed that I've been able to be in this moving mess without losing my mind.  I typically like order and organization and don't do well in mess (desk, car, life); my closet is a different story (on which I'm constantly working:o)  Being in mess for a bit has been tolerable because I know what's on the other side... LOVE, FAMILY, TOGETHERNESS, OPPORTUNITIES, PURPOSE. 

On another note...I'm a nervous flyer and have decided to own that.  Really, I just don't like the extreme turbulence and shaky landings:o)  I normally grab my husband's hand when he's with me.  I grab the cold, hard arm rest when he's not.  I often think of my mortality when flying and of my faith.  I say my prayers before, during and after the flight, and I wonder if the exhibited fear means I trust God less with my life in the air than on the ground.  The flip side is that I am reminded of God amongst the clouds and the horizon.  A work in progress...

Psalm 71:1-6

1 In you, O LORD, have I taken refuge; *

let me never be ashamed.

2 In your righteousness, deliver me and set me free; *

incline your ear to me and save me.

3 Be my strong rock, a castle to keep me safe; *

you are my crag and my stronghold.

4 Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, *

from the clutches of the evildoer and the oppressor.

5 For you are my hope, O Lord GOD, *

my confidence since I was young.

6 I have been sustained by you ever since I was born;

from my mother's womb you have been my strength; *
my praise shall be always of you.
