June 09 Friday morning 8:30am the phone rings, with the news that we have a new appointment ! firstly comes the shock, then all the questions but after a few hours, we were all into ready into the move spirit. Now we do not have children at home to help, so we have to plan really carefully how are we going to manage the work that is already plan,the travel that are already in place and all the last minutes at the office and the preparation of the house for the next family is so much to do !!! Lord has mercy !.
We star Planning and talking on how we were going to tell the children, Christmas was going to be in Atlanta this year, are they going to be happy? what are they going to say? later we tell mom and dad in Chile , all this just to let go, all the anxiety, the worries, the panic and of course to share the joy of a new great opportunities and adventures that comes with a new job a whole new world appears in front of us.
We salvation army people we do not question why ,we only say AMEN TO GOD AND OUR LEADERS. Why we do that? well just because we believe that God is in charge not only for the Army but He is in control of our lives and it doesn't matter were we are send we trust to the one that love and cares for us. God our heavenly father.
It comes to my mind when God told Abram to go to a new land, a land that he didn't know. This is how Genesis 12 said, The Lord had said to Abram,"leave your country,your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you"
"I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great,and you will be a blessings. I will bless those who bless you,and whoever curses you I will curse;and all people on earth will be blessed through you" So Abram left,....
Abram left, as the Lord had told him ,it look like the same today with us but is not quite the same, today is only 39 day from this Friday morning and my husband and I we are already in our new appointment full into our new job, already in our new home, and we are already with our mind and heart in our new position, trusting God all our path, believing that he will provide all that we need, And we are going to be here until He send us other place again. ah! our children are so very happy, they are making plans to come and have a family reunion for Christmas, is that great ? or what ?
Blessings. From Miami !!!.
