I'm literally writing this 'on the move' with a back to back Fall schedule of speaking, conferences and outreach events, from Michigan to Texas to Virginia and a conference here in Phoenix in-between!
I knew when September and October came I would hit the road running. How blessed I am to have tremendous support within our ministry office. It takes hours of planning and preparation for each event. The women who make it all come together believe in you, believe in the outreach of this ministry, and serve wholeheartedly. Our vision is to touch your life - some how, some way, with the love of Christ.
Reflecting on what God is doing in your lives and in this ministry is what gives me so much joy in the midst of my coming and going. I always bring back with me your heart-warming 'moving' stories, the remembrance of your tears and laughter, and the privilege of seeing God work in and through your move.
I cannot tell you enough that you are not alone as you deal with the feelings and emotions of leaving behind friends and family, worry about your children's adjustment, and struggle with keeping your marriage strong through the many changes that come with moving. Those of you who are single movers always tug at my heart with the challenges you face.
I meet all of you everywhere I go - your struggles and stories are the same, only your faces change. This is what I would whisper in your ear if I had the chance to hug you.
Be assured, again and again, that God accompanies you! You may be lonely, but you are never alone. God did not take you to a new place to drop you off at the city limits. He is with you every step of the way. He is the friend you are searching for and the comforter you yearn for. He is waiting for you no matter where you go or where you live.

And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. |
