The Art of Chaos

I am sitting here in my extremely warm apartment, pondering how to get started on today's projects. Actually, we are moving in a month and I am committing myself to getting rid of all the junk and clutter beforehand. I prayed for a fresh start, for change, and it is happening! The Lord has truly answered some of my biggest long time prayers. I think about His timing and how things fall into place at just the right time. It took a lot of maneuvering to get to this place but it has been really cool to see God work. It's like I'm in one place and then I move over a bit and make room in this one area and then soon everything starts to fall into place. The Lord has truly revealed His faithfulness time and time again and for so long I sat in this pool of frustration wondering if things will ever change. I happen to enjoy a nice change every so often and this is just the kind of change I need right now. This transition includes me working out of the home again. Even before my divorce, I have been able to be home with my son and home school (which has all been a blessing!) but now I am ready to step back out into the work world. We are also trying a new kind of schooling at home - online! It was cool how God worked that out also because a good Christian curriculum is ridiculously expensive. We have been able to get by on what we have but at our new apartment, I can't receive the same help I have been getting here. My son is finally at the age too where he can start to be a bit more independent, so I'd like to give him a new set of responsibilities.

Anyway, school starts in a month for my son. I'll be working soon and in the meantime, there is a lot that needs to be done. Every day that I let the Lord lead me and as I continue to follow, I am one step closer to Him revealing even more to me. Things I often times miss when I am off in my own world. There is a lot of chaos in life right now but the art of it is just letting go and watching God unravel each new blessing.
