We still aren't certain that we are moving--though we are definitely leaning that way--and I have thought through the same things you have. Memories of bringing my kids home from the hospital, the sadness at having to leave our neighborhood, the school my daughter loves and a job that I love. So many good memories of our life here the last 9 years. I find myself thinking, "if we move we won't have this or that" or "we won't be able to go here or there". It makes it so easy to argue with God about why we shouldn't move. But even if the list of why we should only has one thing on it ("because God wants us to") then that is enough. And I know that obviously that is enough for you and Vince too! (It doesn't make it any easier though, does it?!) We are continuing to pray for you and your family. It's going to be a bumpy ride for sure, but in the end it is going to be awesome and amazing because God is certainly going to do huge things through you and Vince! See you soon!

When my husband started talking about Chicago, I thought he was nuts too. There was no way I was going to move from beautiful, temperate North Carolina to boring, cold northern Ilinois! Or at least that's what I thought :-) God revealed to me much the way He revealed to you the future He had for my family. And here we are in Chicago and I know without a shadow of a doubt, we are exactly where God wants us! Some days aren't easy, but knowing we are in God's will gives me the courage to face those hard times. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and thanks again. Your example is a great encouragement to me.Eskaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09622620718083467210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787629467406380348.post-2750872844902463852008-07-29T12:14:00.000-07:002008-07-29T12:14:00.000-07:00I can't imagine all of the emotions you guys are going through.
