Getting BETTER!

I realize that my last post and this one are on the same date, only the Head vs. Heart was written about a month ago.
Since writing that and staring at my computer screen through tears I’m learning that TIME (and a lot of prayer during that time) helps. The racing heart and fear that comes with knowing change is coming is rough! I’ve gotten my head and heart closer together and can say that while I don’t like my parents moving I LOVE to know that my dad will be joy filled and happy with what he is doing to serve the God he loves and has served most his life. I’ve also had to put my self in my mom’s shoes of what if it were Karl? I’d be pretty miserable if he were. Hearing her say over the phone that she teared up watching my dad lead in Nebraska just be over the moon excited to be doing what he was doing worshiping God with others in that setting was enough for me to hear.
There will still be tears and we all know how to get each other to cry really well! (drives my hubby nuts!!! He works so hard to make me happy and my mom can give me look and we are both sobbing! HAHAHAH! ) I mean my dad can facebook me a nice little sentance and I am suddenly crying so hard that I pop my knee out of the socket while turning to blow my nose. I must say… that was one of the best cries I have had in a long time. Not his fault… mine… I am the biggest Klutz ever. Maybe that is his fault… he is too! hahaha !
I guess I can bust out my overalls and head out west for visits where they can’t send me home easily as they can now.
God is ALWAYS good, it just doesn’t always FEEL like it… at least not right away.

Bethany – while it’s been a while since you wrote this, I want you to know how proud I am of how you are letting God have his way in all this. You are going to be able to say from experience “I know what it is to see God do something and not like the way it affects me…” You’re also going to be able to go on from there and help the person who’s come to you for guidance — and they do!
I smiled when you said to the whole fam’ last week.
“SO. . . Thanksgiving is in Nebraska this year!”
Still our organizer / planner. ‘-)
Love ya’
Dad
