Weird Place

Lately I have just felt like I'm in a weird place. Ever since my family left at the beginning of the month, I have just felt weird. I'm stuck in the middle of this being my new home and a part of me wanting to be in my old home. I'm doing all the right things....getting out and meeting people, finding a church, getting involved in the church, playdates and so on, but still struggling. I know that I need to be patient and that in all reality we have only been here a month and a half. I also know that its during these times that I need to cling to the Lord like I never have before. Living in Charlotte I was comfortable. I didn't "need" Him like I do here. I am thankful for that. I'm thankful that my dependency on Christ looks different than it ever has before. It's hard though, uncomfortable at that. Although I'm anxious to get out of this hard spot I feel like I am in, I also want to learn and be aware of what God is doing in the midst of it all.
I am reading this great book called Moving On After Moving In,  and it's been so encouraging. It makes me feel a bit more normal for feeling the way that I do. I recommend anyone who is either going through the move themselves or knows someone going through a move to grab this book for you or them. It helps make sense of your emotions and feelings that come along with a move. It's filled with verses of encouragement. One that I love and rings very true is:
    "He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together"  Colossians 1:17
So the journey continues. I'm staying in it whether I want to or not. :) On a side note, Buggy is doing great. He seems the best adjusted out of all of us. Ha! He's definitely finding his voice though. We have now started tantrums and he really likes the word "no". Lovely! He keeps me busy that's for sure. Here are a few pics of him lately. This kid loves a laundry basket.

 It's the little things that make him happy

 Had to share some photos of the most beautiful sunset right outside our window the other night. A sweet reminder of God's presence.
