Rest for Your Souls
Here in the Woodward household, boxes abound and muscles are screaming for a hot bath. We are not done with packing but we must be soon as the bill of lading needs to be completed quickly and then translated. Bill of lading should be bill of laden.
(adjective) burdened; loaded down
That is about how we feel right now. The children have reached the point that they would rather do school. We have been so blessed with their help. I know this time will end soon. My dad told me during another move years ago and my friend Cynthia reminded me today, “It’s just stuff.” Yes it is. Right now, I just need to trust my Savior who said,
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

isn't it funny how one can take an ordinary term - bill of lading- and with a turn of a word make it into something that completely suits the situation?! Things like that always make me laugh - like when my husband needs to have a prescription filled, he calls it a subscription. He is, after all, signed up to receive something!
Tell me, are your children excited to move back to the States? Nervous? I imagine they will miss all of their friends in Romania.
Karen - I can speak of God's faithfulness - but His word does it so much better! I will pray for the sore muscles and weary soul. Your journey is not over yet - I will pray that He will be your strength.
I pray that He gives you strength and healthy bodies to see this through.
You continue to be in our prayers!
Hang in there...(((HUGS)))
Karen - praying for a smooth transition as God takes you to a new place in your lives. I'm glad I found your new blog. I've missed visiting :)
Karen, I'll be keeping you and your family in my prayers as you continue to pack and get ready for you move and that the Lord will give you the strength that you need at this time to continue : )
Blessings,
BChsMamaof3
