The Upside of the Downside

Ok, it’s hitting me now.  Moving to Georgia is becoming a very real possibility.  I guess I’d tucked it away in some corner of my mind as one of those things that might happen “someday”, and “someday” that would be fine.  We still don’t know that it’s an absolute, because when we went out of business it was, unfortunately, more of a crash than a bang and there are some things that have to be finished up before I can go.  But it’s looking like the odds are good.  Which means….

I HAVE TO GET BUSY.  Ahem, WE have to get busy.  DH hasn’t hit the list with the ferocity I’d hoped for.  Ahem. 

I called the school I want the kids to attend if we move, they have spots open for all three.  Yes, I said all three.  Macie will be starting K4.  What in the world will I do with myself?  I actually have lots of plans I’ve been putting off until she was in school but I will sure miss my little sidekick.  I feel a little guilty sometimes because I didn’t cherish this same time with the twins before they started school, but at least I got it right with one of them.

So anyway, lots of decisions to be made but many of them hinge on other things.  Hopefully by the end of next week I’ll know if we’re going for the summer or for good.

I’ve seen a lot of God at work in this situation.  I had told him that I can’t make this decision on my own, I needed to know where He wants me and in order to be sure of it I asked Him to start lining things up for us to go if GA is where He wants us.  And it’s happening.  Much of it is on the personal side and not something I want to discuss with many people, but suffice it to say that God is changing a situation that seemed unchangeable.  I’m so grateful, not only to know that He hears and cares, but because of the things I’m seeing that I KNOW can only be Him at work, I’m able to be excited about it.  I can’t believe I just said that, but I am.  I genuinely hope we’re able to move and want it to happen ASAP.  But don’t tell my mom I said that.
