Surrounded by Moving Men

I am sitting in my kitchen. On one of my barstool's. With 5 moving men (and a lady) packing up all that I own in special boxes with special stickers and special bubble wrap.

I am not packing myself on this move and I have to say I am feeling quite pampered right now.

My only job today has been to keep checking in to the various rooms in our home and say "you remember that goes in storage? and then that one goes to the apartment? and that one needs to stay out to go in our van?"

"Yes Ma'am" is usually the reply I get. "We've got you covered."

David and I have been on our computers, on our phones, and running little errands here and there trading off who stays here to "man the troops".

God has been so good to us on this move. I have never, and I do mean never people, had so many things fall into place so easily and effortlessly for anything in my life as it has for this particular transition.

Even daddy got to fly home yesterday.........on a private plane..........2 days early........to help me with this big ol' move of ours!
(Long story. Just happened to know the right people and be at the right place at the right time.)

Thank you Lord!!!

I am feeling blessed and feeling nervous once again. I am sorry that you all have had to read those monotonous and boring words over and over in this blog these past few weeks, but they are the only emotions that keep coming to mind as my little hands keep typing away on this keyboard.

I don't want to over-spiritualize this move or this state we call "Indy", but I sense big things for us there - maybe even those big things I sense are the "little things" like a place where my family comes first, a church that loves us and supports us and lives their lives walking beside us. A place where ministry and family and friends come together in beautiful harmony.

I hope to be the best "Kara" I can be there. I want to throw myself into this new life with both feet and prepare myself for the long hall. I have already told my mother that I am having an official bash thrown in our own honor on our 5 year anniversary.

Ya wanna know why?

Cuz I've never lived anywhere for 5 years straight since I was a child!! Yikes!

I am ready to go. I am ready to leave. I am not thinking of the things I am leaving behind right now, because my friendships are too hard to let go of for me to do that.

However, I know I am ready for Indy.

The question is - Is Indy ready for me!

Goodnight all.
