Wondering?

It just seems that my mind is full this morning. Making it difficult to rest and sleep. When ever this happens I start to wonder ...

Wonder
if there is someone that I should be praying for. Wonder how Misty is doing (HERE). Wonder if I should be up getting things off my"to do" list. Wonder if our life will settle into normal. Then this morning, I started to wonder how long this stage of waiting to sell and move will last. Wonder how I am going to plan a birthday party for Tally that doesn't scream "my life is too chaotic right now to do better than this". One of my biggest struggles about moving again is doing the bare minimum for birthdays and holidays.

Wonder if we will like a new town. Wonder if we will make friends easily. Wonder where we will find a homeschool group and if it will be a good fit for our family.

Wonder
how long we will have our life dominated by the whole moving process. (It was almost a year ago that I was feeling these same type of early morning, mind full, type of thoughts (HERE). Here I am doing it again. Trying to wrap my brain around moving again. Tired of having God ask us to do difficult things. Again, I am reminded to lay it at the Father's feet and just rest. Rest in knowing that He is in control and desires the very best for me.

The girls and I are preparing to go and visit Chuck next week. And truth be told, I think that the idea of this causes me stress. Chuck's parents just got here yesterday to stay here at our home while we are gone (a very thoughtful and generous thing). But traveling by myself on a little road trip is new to me on my own. And I am such a homebody, it is takes me out of my comfort zone to leave home on any kind of trip. I know we will have a good time and it is worth the effort it will take, it just feels like I have a lot of loose ends right now. Good thing I have blogging to help me sort out all my thoughts. I know the truth, but this morning, my feelings have me wondering.
