I was just reading in this book "Listening to God" and she mentioned the prayer or "relinquishment"(not spelled right I know, my mind isn't working). Anyway that is what your prayer reminded me of relinquishing it to God!A Stone Gathererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03763530057889661436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893640139472186527.post-35716100288285323202009-03-23T09:11:00.000-05:002009-03-23T09:11:00.000-05:00Even though I've emailed you, I got tears in my ey...Even though I've emailed you, I got tears in my eyes reading this again to leave a comment.<BR/><BR/>I already miss you.<BR/><BR/>Your attitude and sweet spirit that surrenders to God's leading is a beautiful inspiration.<BR/><BR/>But your move still makes me sad.Mocha with Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16387717261200678465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893640139472186527.post-58462990571451869992009-03-21T21:15:00.000-05:002009-03-21T21:15:00.000-05:00Wow!

Isn't the Father's timing perfect? I'll be praying for you... not just for God's perfect will, but also that you will find perfect peace that passes all understanding in it, and that as you wait on Him, He will renew your strength and cause you to soar.

There's just something appealing about a new start; a clean slate.<BR/><BR/>But on the other hand, I would feel the doubt and anxiety about leaving everything I know.<BR/><BR/>Keep your faith strong, Xandra!

My oldest daughter was a camp counselor all last summer at Dry Gulch USA camp. We drove down at the end of the summer and stayed over and went to church. I loved the feel of the city. I felt that I could certainly have stayed - and so did the rest of my family.<BR/><BR/>Have fun looking forward to what God has in store for you & your family!Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03585581538299014065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893640139472186527.post-13039454581588002702009-03-19T16:26:00.000-05:002009-03-19T16:26:00.000-05:00Wow.

You are such an awesome writer. Your blog books will be a treasure for your kids.<BR/><BR/>And, now. Moving to another state! What a project! How exciting for all of you. It will be one of those great family memories that you'll mark time by, and add to your family history. And I know you'll make your new place a warm, cozy home for Trevor and Nathan and Grace.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09147413132595250490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893640139472186527.post-48814045090763287942009-03-19T12:38:00.000-05:002009-03-19T12:38:00.000-05:00I liked your last line the best.

I often do the same thing...think back to a harder time and then as I look at it now it seems not so large...so sometimes I think WAY ahead and know that at some point it will all be over and I will look back on it and wonder why I was so worried. I can certainly understand why such a BIG thing like moving to another state can cause some anxiety...but I know God is with you-as you know this too! I, too, am in the process of letting go of this neck injury...and the idea that I likely have a ruptured or herniating disc in my neck...scary...and having been down the road once before in the lower back...well, won't think on it. Because one day I will look back and wonder what all the fuss was about! Blessings to you today!luvmy4sonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261302721883036680noreply@blogger.com
