Preposterousness

Transition Pt 3

...at least, I think this is the third transition post... Time gets away - I'd intended to do these a bit more often. But then again, that would be terribly boring, and we've managed to get in much more 'us' time than we'd expected, so I've been posting about that. As always, God is good good good. All is going smoothly on the practical front of selling our little corner of the world, while emotions ride varying size rollercoasters at various times... The apartment/unit/flat/home is generating a lot of interest which is great for the auction coming up on the 6th of June...not long ! Take a look and make us an offer we can't refuse :) And we don't yet know where we'll be living after that. In reality, since we'll be renting for a period of time, we'll have a month to find somewhere after the auction before the sale settles - and that's the time we'll be finding out where we're going to live (along with the packing...ugh) It's this not knowing malarkey that's a little bit uncomfortable, but keeping all things in perspective, it's a doddle really. And we are constantly reminded (in hindsight) that God really does make all things work together for our good. And while this isn't about comparisons, if anyone has a right to complain at all about how hard transition can be, it's this guy. He's a great example, and friend.

Transition Update

Just gotta say, a week goes really REALLY quickly... I'm having trouble putting the week's events into stages...but suffice to say it's all moving along quickly, with emotions riding the gamut of possibilities. God is the great stabiliser in all of this, and we thank Him ALL the time. I do want to let you all know that I'm not ignoring you, and haven't suddenly stopped reading your blogs, but I am not likely to be commenting as much as I was as the qty of leisure time decreases over the next few weeks. I am still reading though via my reader, just not clicking on through to express my appreciation for all the amazingness your blogs hold. From big huge revelation to simple thanks, from frivolous to serious...I love being part of this bloggy twittering community. And regarding Twitter...yeah, I'm not on there quite as much either...miss you guys :/

Transitional Phase

I'm not going to say much, but just to let you know that this space might be a teeny bit quieter than it has been since it burst forth like a supernova in January. Maybe. I'm undecided. It might get noisier as I suddenly start sharing even more. But it's way more likely to get quieter. Or stay the same. Anyway... Diane and I have been in a weird part of life for the past year or so, and we're about to enter a transitional phase with considerable change afoot in the Goodwin household.

There'll be :

tears laughter excited nervousness nervous excitement sadness happiness grief joy and a whole host of other emotions and stuff surrounding the changes that are coming. Tonight our Connect Group will be praying with us. Accountability partners are great. We're sure this is right (and I say we like this is a joint blog I know, but...it kinda is...at least until Diane's actually starts), but are equally sure that some of what we have to do isn't the way we want it to be. The end result will be the same, but the path is not our preference. God has made this clear, even though I (we) didn't (don't) want to listen. But it's not about me. Could I be any more cryptic? #Prorably - I'm known for my crypticosity (ha! take that!) So while we're dealing with "stuff", I want to hear from you something that is the exact opposite - light, fluffy, celebratory, joyous. Preferably something that will help with the laughter bit I noted above. Fire away, make me laugh Hint: I'm an easy laugher. Even if I end up rolling my eyes, I'll still laugh.
