A helping hand and a heavy weight

I feel God's hands on us now.
Opening doors and windows and roads for us
as we move our lives across the country.

In the weeks since we learned of our move
we've managed to sell Brent's car and get an offer
on our townhouse.

Brent's recording for his second album will finish up
right before we leave.
Our tax returns are giving us just the right amount of money
to cover the hefty deposit that city living requires.

Even with these blessings, I still find myself lying awake late into the night
thinking of all the junk that is looming in our pull down attic.
And all the furniture we need to sell.
and my car. We've decided to sell my car and buy a good used Honda.
No need to pay so much money for a car we'll only need one or two days a week.

Next week we will make our way across the US to go apartment hunting.
We have seven days to find our place.

I am a mix of panic and joy.
I am doing all I can to remind myself
that in time it will all fall into place.
