Sometimes We Lose Sight

I guess sometimes in between trying to put Ikea Furniture together, trying to work out if the rug actually matches the walls or looks horrendous, whether we can find English chocolate and setting up bank accounts we lose sight of why we're really here in the US. We've been out of a church for nearly six years and it's amazing to be part of a church family again, even if it's just for a short while.

We've been here for just under a week today, and we already have so much to be thankful for. A safe journey among many many other things. On Monday Lucy and I were privilged to go to an all girls campfire meeting, where the subject was true beauty, and one thing that one of the women said that really stayed with me, was that I guess in the end God is guiding your life, and you have to fall back and let him guide you where you are going to go.

You can worry tons about what uni you're going to go to, which country you're going to live in, what's going to happen next, what job you are going to get, but in the end God is over all and not one minute of your life wasn't planned by Him.

So yeah, that's quite a comforting thought at this stage in life, although one has to hope the plan isn't that I spend the rest of my life as a homeless person, living under a bridge :P
