Change is coming, but we are in the middle of a game of Red Light, Green Light. Just frozen in place, waiting for the green light, then trying to race as far forward as we can before having to stop short again.
Two days ago I was afraid this limbo was going to stretch into July, leaving us stranded right in the middle between the start and the finish line, but last night we got the green light again and are hoping to keep moving forward through the end of this week.
Then I can tell you exactly what I’m talking about. Gracious. It feels a little like Groundhog Day around here. June 2019 is a lot of same, same as June of 2018. Except we don’t have to move and there is no one named Toby making my life extra stressful this time around.
Things are good and we are at peace, just patiently and impatiently waiting for pieces of this puzzle to fit into place. What day is it today? Tuesday? In 5 days I leave for the US with the kids for summer break. I’m excited to go and have a vacation and see family, but at the same time it would be nice to finally feel settled here. It’s been a very unpredictable year.
It feels like we’re halfway to normal as things are going great with church and it feels like being part of a family. That’s been the best thing to happen over the past 6 months. I’m thankful that we landed with this group of people who are looking to serve God in any way possible and that we get to be part of that. As for the other half: Tick, tock. Tick, tock . . .
