I am in the process of selling my house (the back story is linked here!) and my focus is bouncing about. The short of it is… I started off excited and happy to start this new chapter in life, then the bottom emotionally dropped out as I prepared to sell my home of 21 plus years. THEN I remembered I had forgotten about G-d. G-d’s now back on the scene and my jitters are down to a whisper. I keep reminding myself, G-d’s got this. He’s leading the way AND he’s bringing up the rear! Have you ever seen the little nursery children holding a rope as they walk down the street? One teacher is in the front and the other in the back? Yeah, when I get nervous, that’s how it goes. I hold onto the rope marching forward with trust that the “teachers” know where we’re going and will catch us if we fall. I just need to keep steady in between.
Which brings me to the quick end of this very short sequel.
Now… I Am In The “Hallway”
Packing boxes, selling things, giving others things away, all the while I am uncertain when my house will sell or where I will land!
Is it “hell in the hallway” or am I “hanging in space“?
I Choose “Hanging In Space”
The wheels are in motion and I can’t control the outcome so I may as well just relax in the unknown. With nothingsolid to stand on, this isn’t quite the luxury penthouse.
I cycle through trying to figure it all out and then I remember only G-d has the really big picture. Every time I realize I am not the boss, a huge sigh of relief follows.
I understand your anxiety. Moving it a big deal. You can do this! Anything is possible…. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Laura! I’ve heard: “anxiety”… “excitement”… maybe the same thing with different names. 🙂
