The End Of A Chapter
Well, this is my last night sleeping in this house, my last night sitting here in this bedroom at the computer. I'm not sure exactly how I feel. There is both a sense of relief and great sadness. I have not known many happy days here in this house. And yet, my son was born here, and it was our first house. I keep saying to myself, "It's just a thing. Plywood, drywall, paint, nails, flooring. And yet, put all those things together and they make home. I do not know what the future holds, but I certainly know who holds my future! And anywhere with Jesus is home sweet home. And so, I will boldly go forward in faith and hope and see what my Lord has to teach me yet. And the pen goes down and the page turns and this chapter is over...and a new one begins. I love you all!

it's never really easy to leave the place you call home. but, life goes on. and though we may not see where we're going, God is leading us. we can find rest that God is in control.
just this morning, i was already on the edge of losing it. but God is there when we need Him the most. we can certainly find peace in Him.
becky, i'm still praying for you. though we don't really know each other, i sincerely want you to be happy. a new house, a new hope.
God bless you.
I've been much too caught up in some of my own stuff and have fallen behind in my blog reading. So I went back and read some of the posts of yours that I missed.
Your dependence on God is so evident in your writings.
Thanks for some very good work!
Funny how we can become attached to inanimate objects like houses. I am to mine.
Can't wait to read the first blog from your new home.
God Bless you both.
Rest assure the new condo will soon feel like home because where you and your son live is "home"! Praying for you and your transition. The Father is writing a new chapter right now for you and its filled with love and joy.
God Bless~
Here's to new beginnings! Thanks for reminding me that even when I can't see the path in front of me, all I have to do is give Jesus my hand and He leads me.
God bless you in your new home. "I look to the hills from where my help comes from. My help cometh from the Lord." Thanks for looking to Him!
may your new home be filled with peace, harmony and the sweet Spirit of God ... (hugs)
Becky: Books and lives are made up of many chapters. This may be the best "one" ever. We don't know what lies ahead but as you said, we know who holds the future.
Allow His loving embrace to enfold you. He loves you relentlessly! Your blogging buddies love you too and we are all standing with you.
I'm reminded of the chorus of the old gospel song, Anywhere With Jesus. It goes:
"Anywhere, anywhere,
Fear I cannot know;
Anywhere with Jesus
I can safely go."
Much love in Christ,
David
Becky, I'm excited for what the Lord has for you in your new home! It will be exciting to read your new posts. {{hugs}}
This post reminded me of the scripture where God said, "For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to
harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11, NIV
Looks like you have some blessings in store for you in your new home. Will be looking forward to hearing how the Lord has blessed!!
Proverbs 3:4-5 God is surely directing your path dear.
