I am Running on Close to Empty

Well, we are moved, partly. We have the storage place and have started to move the boxes in. What is not so clear is the amount of help we will have on Friday when we start to move the furniture. Even now, there are still plenty of small things that need to be boxed and moved.

The stress of the whole project is starting to get to me. I am having a hard time sleeping and as a result have less and less energy to get things done. I still have to work at my regular jobs on top of this. I cannot wait until Friday evening when the major things will be behind me.

And, still I am waiting for word of full-time employment. Believe it or not, in my denomination, it has been particularly difficult to find a pastoral position. I have been searching for over a year now and have only seen movement in the past six months. By God's grace my wife and I have come through it with our sanity intact. Full-time employment and a permanent house, I am looking forward to those blessings.

In the meantime, we are going to be wandering. Six weeks at on place and then we move on to the next. As unstable as it sounds, my wife and I are feeling rather content. I just want to get the physical act of moving out of the way.
