We are moving…again.

I find myself thinking... once we move into our new home, THEN things will feel easier. But then again, I have been thinking this way for a while now.

Once, *this* happens, *THEN* everything will go smoother in life. The past few years seem to have consisted of obstacle after obstacle that must be tackled with the hopes that once this box has been checked off the list, then life will be easier. Yet every time I check off one box, another box appears.

Our apartment is covered in boxes and loose items that have been removed from their rightful place. There is order in the chaos because I have now accepted and allowed myself to float downstream instead of fighting the current. It is what it is. Why is it that the more I crave comfort and consistency, the more I am given change? CONSTANT change. Never-ending transition. God must be trying to teach me something or mold me into the person I am meant to become because this feels unbearable at times. I know I will look back and it will all make sense. I am grateful for the many journals I kept throughout the years with almost illegibly scribbled pages consisting of my darkest moments that I was sure would never pass. They passed. And they made sense. And they gave meaning. And so will this time.
