Don't know how much I'll be blogging over the next week or so because I will be moving home (in theory) and have my dad staying and stuff.
Only thing is whilst I'm preparing to move I don't yet know where I'm moving to, only that I am obliged to be out of here by next weekend. For the 2nd time in about a year I've had to move because the property I've been renting has been sold. That's fine (although a bit of a pain) because let's face it, it's life and the reality of having to rent.
However, am now in a well awkward position because haven't been able to find anything suitable either in the town where I live or the town where I work (that is both in my price range and will allow Third Party). Am looking today at another property, which if it's ok I'll really have to take. It's sounds great but it's in a town a few miles away and as I only do public transport will mean having to build up a whole new group of friends, etc. Strange it's only when faced with this situation I realise exactly how much my current church community have come to mean to me.
Now I am keeping the whole thing in perspective (it needs dealing with but alot of my friends and most of the world, including recently South East Asia have had alot more "life" to deal with over the last year or so). However, it has made me feel much better about my level of faith in a way that I'm not sure it should. Now I certainly don't subscribe to the prosperity gospel, but I do @ times subscribe to the opposite one which says you know that you're on the right spiritual track when you start having to do "life" in large amounts. Logically I know this is rubbish & that everybody just gets good stuff and bad stuff going on in there lives at various points and it's just life; it's just how you handle it that relates to where you are with God.
So at this point (without turning into a "smiley") will just hold onto the fact that there is a plan to prosper not to harm me (but I wish I could hear / know what it is) and even if everything around me is changing I have a rock to cling to, whilst at the same time using the mind I was created with to come up with some decent solutions to the situations I may find myself in.
