"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare[a] and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11 Have you ever been in a situation where you were digging in your heels and refusing to do something you just didn't want to, but it ended up being the very thing that would change your entire life? After I had lost my husband to cancer and gotten remarried we had an opportunity to move to another state. I had always dreamed of moving out of Utah, having adventures, and experiencing other parts of the country, but this was not what I had in mind. My stepson lived in WA and it would have been beneficial for us to move so that we could be a complete family. We were flying my stepson back and forth between Salt Lake and Seattle but it just wasn't sustainable. It was taxing on all of us. I knew that if we moved it would ease tension on our hearts and our bank account but I just couldn't fathom making the decision. I worried about my grieving boys and how it would affect them to move away from family, creating another loss. My heart wasn't ready. |
